Franklin Graham: 'Gay' rainbow ends badly - 'May it remind all of us of God's judgment to come'
WND ^ | July 1, 2015 | Bob Unruh

Franklin Graham’s word is respected worldwide, through his work with Samaritan’s Purse and the organization his father founded, the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association, and now he’s begun warning America of God’s looming judgment.

Because of the nation’s adoption, through its Supreme Court, of mandatory recognition of same-sex marriage across the states.

“Our nation will not like what’s at the end of this rainbow,” he wrote this week.

“‘Pride goeth before a fall.’ Supreme Court Justice [Antonin] Scalia used Proverbs 16:18 in his comments regarding the court’s disappointing and dangerous ruling about same-sex marriage,” Graham wrote. “He rightly called the decision ‘a threat to the American democracy.’ This is so true. Arrogantly disregarding God’s authority always has serious consequences.”

Graham has millions following his comments and routinely gets hundreds of thousands of “likes” and tens of thousands of “shares” for his postings.

He has commented several times on the court’s ruling Friday, which immediately generated forecasts of persecution coming in America to citizens whose beliefs disallow homosexuality.

His comments included a blast at President Obama.

“The president had the White House lit up in rainbow colors to celebrate the Supreme Court ruling on same-sex marriage. 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. God sent a flood to wipe out the entire world because mankind had become so wicked and violent,” he wrote.

How did America get from “Mayberry” to “gay marriage?” Here’s the explanation, in “A Queer Thing Happened to America: And What a Long, Strange Trip It’s Been.”

“One man, Noah, was found righteous and escaped God’s judgment with his family. The rainbow was a

when you look at Russia today (Putin iron fist) and their allegiance with Iran and support of their nuke program - there you have it: Gog and Magog.

“now he’s begun warning America of God’s looming judgment.”

He needs to stop this and he needs to read Romans 1:

Homosexuality IS Gods judgment. America is being judged now!!

I'd argue that judgment has been coming at least since the nation’s adoption, through its Supreme Court, of legalized abortion:

I am not saying that abortions are right. I am saying that the practice of abortion as such is not God's primary focus of concern. It is the practice of legalized abortions that is the focus of God's concern and wrath. When abortion is legalized, this testifies to the depraved moral condition of the community. It is the moral condition of the community that concerns God, not the fact that this or that physician is practicing abortions. God can bring judgment in eternity, and will, against those who practice abortion and against the mothers who authorize it. Abortion is a crime in God's eyes. But the focus of God's concern is not with stopping the abortions by his representatives' individual actions. The focus of God's concern is to legislate against abortion and then to have the representative ordained agents, that is, the civil magistrates, take public action against the abortion. God's judicial focus, in other words, is corporate and judicial. This is the focus of God's concern in the question of abortion.

I try not to put much stock in coincidences as signs and omens, but it is particularly striking, if nothing else, that the sodomites chose for their symbol, the sign which God used when he said that He would never again destroy the entire world by flood again. He didn’t say it wouldn’t be destroyed by other means. Sodom and Gomorrah particularly were destroyed by fire. The sodomites don’t believe it/scoff at it, but they are just about daring God to bring on the destruction He has promised in prophecy to pour out on the earth in the last days, which will only make most humans even more defiant and reprobate in their reactions. Sodomites are exactly the people of whom God said that He would turn them over to their reprobate minds, to their own sin and wickedness, and they are shaking their fists in God’s face by co-opting the symbol He used as a sign of His promise to never again destroy the world by flood.

A close read of Romans 1 shows that homosexuality is itself a form of judgment from God.

That was well-said, and the exact same can be said of the official recognition, by the nation through our representatives and the members of the court which they approved, that this official recognition of sodomites is what brings God’s judgement upon the US as a nation, rather than what was an individual sin before, though one increasingly “tolerated” (celebrated, promoted) by society. This nation got the official recognition which society had already sanctioned, including by so-called Christian leaders, and this official recognition is what is going to bring God’s judgement and the removal of His protection and blessing of the US as a formerly Christian-founded and based nation, upon the US. I believe that this was the last straw, considering that God considers such recognition of this sin to be a kind of Rubicon, triggering that judgement.

Don’t worry the destruction will come, according to Jesus, by fire and disease.

Jesus performed his first public miracle at a wedding at Cana in Galilee. By turning water into wine He sanctified marriage and there it became holy matrimony between a man and a woman pleding fidelity before God.

Whatever the supreme court thinks, same-sex weddings cannot rise to the level of sanctity of holy matrimony between a man and a woman vowing fidelity before God.

But like all things from Satan, it is counterfeit. The gay rainbow has 6 colors. The real one has 7.

Probably not yet. There are some prophetic shoes yet to drop before the Lord is on the scene...

You like it now? Wait 5 years. America will be Hell on earth.

I went by at least 5 churches this past weekend that all had “God Bless America” on their marquees. America spit in God’s face this past week. He cannot and will not bless sin.
IMHO, a wake-up call was sent on 9/11 and it was not heeded. In 2008, America wrappd herself in a dark mantel of evil by chosing the ways of Satan over God. The beginning of Judgement has come to America and will progressively get worse as God remains true to His Word. How bad will it get? Probably worse than any of us can even imagine. It’s not IF, but WHEN will that big old “Sodom & Gamorrah” hammer drop? Regretfully, I fear that the America we all grew up in gone; lost; finished. This thing we live in today is evil and similar to ancient Rome. It’s going down. It will soon be lock and load, folks.
