North Korea harvests the organs of dissidents for transplants to the rich and sick. So they aren’t sodomites. BFD. The children produced by the non-sodomites can either starve, go into the army and become a tool of oppression, or cannon fodder in some damned war or other, or get across the border. Russia is slightly better. Starvation doesn’t happen, at least.
Bow “Toxon” is that same word used in the Septuagint for Rainbow. Notice there is no quiver or arrows.
Just another example of how knowing the Greek or Hebrew can bring clarity and understanding to Scripture.
That’s an improvement over communist Russia, as 3.9 Ukrainians and an untold number of Georgians, Tajiks, etc., could tell you if you care to hold a seance. So let me amend that. Russia hasn’t starved anyone lately.
So I did look it up at Biblehub.
The word for rainbow, where rainbow appears is *iris*.
https://biblehub.com/greek/2463.htm
The word *toxon* is simply translated as *bow* with no clarification of whether it’s a rainbow or the weapon that shoots arrows. It is used only once in the NT and in that passage in Revelation 6 so there’s no clarification by comparing it to other passages.

Nevertheless, I still find it an interesting double meaning in English.
Thankfully, public schools in moderate or large-sized cities are shriveling and closing.
They can’t end too soon.
3.9 million, meant to type.
“...Americans will have to get ready for that word
“forced” in their lives day and night...”
Schools today, churches tomorrow.
At some point soon, any church that doesn’t embrace their LGBT insanity and all their lying BS, will be outlawed and shutdown as a “hate organization”. The Bible will become outlawed as “hate speech”... THAT is their next goal...count on it.
Yes.
The French Revolution (similar to Woke one now), Soviets including Stalin, and later Mao, each made a point of abducting and murdering Christians and Jews. Each tyrant has to dispose of religious people so only the tyrant’s power is recognized.

Yes, “Iris” in Greek is a real rainbow. The fake one is what the White Horseman Carries. The same term used in the Septuagint In Genesis 9
I see.....
Not much they do anymore is.......
I just saw a Turbo-tax commercial featuring a pair of faggots as the “married couple” using the product.
Then they better get used to me telling them to “F off and try and make me”.
This came out weeks ago here on FR.
I did a FR search and a google search and didn’t find anything.
I cannot find the original article either. Maybe I saw an earlier press release of this one because the wording was pretty much the same.
