Commenting on the White House being illuminated on Friday with gay-rainbow lights to celebrate homosexual marriage, Rev. Franklin Graham said it was "outrageous" and a "slap in the face" to millions of Americans who support real marriage, and added that because God gave the rainbow sign to Noah following the flood, it is an image forever "associated with His judgment" and a sign of "God's judgment to come."
Franklin Graham, son of world-renowned pastor Billy Graham, further said that "one day God is going to judge sin -- all sin" and "only those who are found righteous will be able to escape His judgment."
"The President had the White House lit up in rainbow colors to celebrate the Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage," said Rev. Graham in a June 29 post on Facebook [1]. "This is outrageous—a real slap in the face to the millions of Americans who do not support same-sex marriage and whose voice is being ignored."

"God is the one who gave the rainbow, and it was associated with His judgment," said Rev. Graham. "God sent a flood to wipe out the entire world because mankind had become so wicked and violent. One man, Noah, was found righteous and escaped God’s judgment with his family. The rainbow was a sign to Noah that God would not use the flood again to judge the world."
"But one day God is going to judge sin -- all sin," said Rev. Graham. "Only those who are found righteous will be able to escape His judgment. That righteousness comes through faith, believing on the Name of the Lord Jesus Christ who took our sins and shed His blood on the cross for each and every one."
"So, when we see the gay pride rainbow splashed on business advertisements and many people’s Facebook pages, may it remind all of us of God’s judgment to come," he said. "Are you ready? Are your sins forgiven?"
The homosexual rainbow lights at the White House on June 26, the day the Supreme Court ruled 5-4 that gay marriage is a right, was orchestrated by top Obama adviser Valerie Jarrett, according to The Washington Post [2]. Obama, when told of the gay-lights plan, reported The Post, said, "It's a great idea, if you can get it to work."
In a statement, the White House said [3], "Tonight, the White House was lit to demonstrate our unwavering commitment to progress and equality, here in America and around the world. The pride colors reflect the diversity of the LGBT community, and tonight, these colors celebrate a new chapter in the history of American civil rights."
In the New Testament in the gospel of Luke, chapter 17, Jesus Christ tells His disciples [4] about what the world will be like when He returns. "First He must suffer many things and be rejected by this generation," says Christ. "And as it was in the days of Noah, so it will be also in the days of the Son of Man: They ate, they drank, they married wives, they were given in marriage, until the day that Noah entered the ark, and the flood came and destroyed them all."
Christ continues, "Likewise as it was also in the days of Lot: They ate, they drank, they bought, they sold, they planted, they built; but on the day that Lot went out of Sodom it rained fire and brimstone from heaven and destroyed them all. Even so will it be in the day when the Son of Man is revealed."
Franklin Graham, 62, is president of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association and also runs the international Christian aid group Samaritan's Purse. He is married and has five children. Rev. Graham frequently preaches in evangelical Christian crusades in the United States and abroad.
It wasn't an accident that they chose this symbol for their perverted cause. Yet another direct slap to His face.
Father God,
We lift Franklin Graham up to You. We ask that You will surround Him, his sister Anne, and their families with Divine protection and great favor. May the Holy Spirit fill them with boldness and open doors of opportunities to proclaim the Good News.
We stand upon every promise of Psalm 91 (https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=psalm+91&version=NIV) for the Graham Ministries.
In Jesus Name we pray. Amen.
I had some gay friends at the time in college and asked them if they were concerned about the ‘desease’. They laughed in my face.
Acts 12:19-24
Then Herod (Agrippa) went from Judea to Caesarea and stayed there. 20 He had been quarreling with the people of Tyre and Sidon; they now joined together and sought an audience with him. After securing the support of Blastus, a trusted personal servant of the king, they asked for peace, because they depended on the king’s country for their food supply.
21 On the appointed day Herod, wearing his royal robes, sat on his throne and delivered a public address to the people. 22 They shouted, “This is the voice of a god, not of a man.” 23 Immediately, because Herod did not give praise to God, an angel of the Lord struck him down, and he was eaten by worms and died.
24 But the word of God continued to spread and flourish.
I had. If I remember correctly, God gave the rainbow as a symbol of God’s promise that he would never wipe humanity out in a flood.
I don’t think that means he wouldn’t wipe humanity out in some other way, just not in a flood.
I join you in prayer.
In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
I remember when the Homosexual AIDS started too in the early 80’s; and even back then, the MSM was trying to deflect the blame.
Amen!
Architects of their own doom
Are they still alive? It got a whole bunch of them.
Made me want to vomit - seeing a rainbow used like that.
Yes they were. The original name was "WOGS." Which stood for "Wrath of God Syndrome." It was later changed to "GRIDS" which meant "Gay Related Immuno Deficiency syndrome."
The Liberal Media kept insisting they change the name because the names sounded so judgmental.
It certainly seemed as if it was God expressing his opinion on the subject.
Read The End of America by John Price. It’s 99 cents on Kindle. He presents his case for America being the Daughter of Babylon described in Revelation 18. I’d always heard that it was the Catholic church or one world church, but that never made sense to me. The U.S. fits the description like no other entity ever could and her end is horrific.
Probably not. This was in the early 80’s. Most miserable people I’ve been around. Drugs galore, bitterness, fighting, sex on demand, etc.
Find a Bible-believing church to go to. Why spend your time and money where you’re not getting the Truth?
The media deliberately obscures the truth of their lifestyle. They actively generate propaganda that paints a false picture of how gays behave and what they do.
I’m curious why it was Herod and not a bunch of governors.
This “gay” life is a pageant of hate.
Taking the symbol of God's covenant with man, hijacking it, and blasting those rainbow colors across the White House?
Spiking the football? No.
It's an offront to Christians... on the same level as throwing the Quran into a toilet.
