WLOX -

Nearly 40 years after he created the multi-color symbol of the LGBT movement, Gilbert Baker died Friday at the age of 65.

Details about his death are unknown at this time, but friends say Baker died in his sleep.

News of the man known as the father of the rainbow flag spread on social media.

According to his website, the first flag - which was inspired by Baker's friend Harvey Milk - debuted on June 25, 1978 during the San Francisco Gay Freedom Day Parade.

He broke world records, first in 1994 for creating a mile-long rainbow flag for the 25th anniversary of the Stonewall Riot, and again in 2003 for creating a flag that stretched from the Gulf of Mexico to the Atlantic Ocean in Key West for the 25th anniversary of the flag.

The vexillographer is quoted as once saying "Flags are torn from the soul of the people

That book is a good read on the New Age and what it really is, its neither new nor aged,

Anytime I see the ‘LGBT Rainbow flag’ this is what I’m reminded of:

“I do set my bow in the cloud, and it shall be for a token of a covenant between me and the earth.” Genesis 9:13

“And the bow shall be in the cloud; and I will look upon it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is upon the earth.” Genesis 9:16

This is not a battle against flesh and blood but against a specific evil spirit, and those given over to it are creatures of flesh, they worship it, desire it, lust after it, flesh is everything to them and this is also why we’ll see this ‘movement’ go to bestiality as its final run of course, Satan is attempting to defile ‘All’ flesh not just that of those ‘enlightened’ humans willingly given themselves over to him,

How many parades like this have we seen with that flag: “Woe unto them that draw iniquity with cords of vanity, and sin as it were with a cart rope: . . “ Isaiah 5:18

One of the reasons for the end of the Age when it comes involves breaking the Everlasting Covenant.

“The earth also is defiled under the inhabitants thereof; because they have transgressed the laws, changed the ordinance, broken the everlasting covenant.” Isaiah 24:5

Peter reminds us that while God will never (as he promised) destroy the Earth with water again, read the fine print:

“Whereby the world that then was, being overflowed with water, perished: But the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men.” 2 Peter 3:6-7

In Revelation Chapter 5, where we see the Court going into session for the final disposition towards the correct ownership of the Earth, we’re shown God sitting on on the Throne with an Emerald Rainbow above him, (iris in the Greek)

And every time I see a NASA photo of the Earths Aurora taken from orbit, like a ribbon of light, I’m reminded that and what we’re shown from Isaiah 40:

“It is he that sitteth upon the circle of the earth . . “

Always remember that the homo flag isn’t really the true rainbow, since it only has six colors in it, while the original has seven.

Those numbers aren’t coincidental.
