“traditional meaning, seven rays of light from the Holy Ghost.”

I never heard that, in 18 years in the parsonage and 4 years in seminary. Where’s it from in Scripture? It sounds like of pretty.

I believe it must be derived from Rev 1:4,5 and the seven lamp stands. In theological context made very simple, the passage denotes the message is from the Father, the Seven-fold Spirit (or seven Spirits before the throne) and the Son. In that order in that passage. Seven-fold gifts from Corinthians too? At any rate, if anyone believes Flynn is a secret occultist then so is Q and we are all doomed. We all watched live when Q posted “are you ready to serve your country again?” And General Flynn responded (via 8k) and at the same moment changed his banner on twitter. Flynn is mentioned in many Q posts.

If you think logically, like I said, I’ll stick with Flynn over some guy who suddenly tried to get close to Trump, started spewing Q related stuff out of nowhere, and then later trashes someone who is likely one of the core team. (The less than 10 - military component). And who stepped up to the plate for Flynn? Sidney Powell. Not Lin Wood. And he trashed her too. Line crossed. So long, don’t let the door hit him in the behind. I say let Lin talk to himself, we got work to do. Completely unproductive to focus on that.

This is what General Flynn posted in response to the accusations that he had recited an “occult” prayer:

I am typing from Gen.Flynn’s Telegram; cannot copy and paste from Tele. without being a member. BTW the Monastery of St. Catherine in the Sinai desert is extremely ancient and has the oldest painted depiction of Jesus Christ known. I have that picture and will see if I can find online and post.

It would be nice if people would stop being Anti Catholic and grow up and read their history.
In early Christian iconography, the dove of the Holy Ghost is often shown with an emanation of seven rays, as is the image of the Madonna, often in conjunction with a dove or doves. The Monastery of St. Catherine on Mount Sinai, circa 565, shows the transfiguration of Christ in the apse mosaic, with “seven rays of light shining from the luminous body of Christ over the apostles Peter, James and John.” In the present day Byzantine-style St. Louis Cathedral in Missouri, the center of the sanctuary has an engraved circle with many symbols of the Holy Trinity. The inscription reads: “Radiating from this symbol are seven rays of light representing the seven gifts of the Holy Ghost.”

Revelation 4:
5 And out of the throne proceeded lightnings and thunderings and voices: and seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God.

Revelation is full of this imagery - seven spirits, seals, horns, eyes etc. The word ‘rays’ isn’t specifically used tho in the Bible. Whether or not lamps or lights is a far reach from rays is up to the the devotee I suppose.
