The lifting of a banner in the high places of a nation is never a neutral act; it is a declaration of sovereignty and a testimony of the heart. When Senate Leader Chuck Schumer announced his intent to introduce legislation to designate the Pride flag as a “congressionally authorized flag,” he was not merely engaging in a political skirmish over a flagpole at the Stonewall National Monument. He was acting as a modern herald for a spiritual revolution that Jonathan Cahn so chillingly detailed in The Harbinger and The Return of the Gods. We must understand that the ground upon which the senator stands—the streets of Greenwich Village—is the ground where the ancient mystery of the “dark trinity” first manifested in our era. It was there, at the Stonewall Inn, that the spirit of Ishtar re-entered the modern gate, and it is there that the leaders of this people now seek to codify the rebellion into the very law of the land.
The scriptures warn us of the day when the leaders of a nation would call evil good and good evil, and when they would take the very tokens of God’s covenant and turn them into emblems of defiance. “The shew of their countenance doth witness against them; and they declare their sin as Sodom, they hide it not. Woe unto their soul! for they have rewarded evil unto themselves” (Isaiah 3:9). By seeking “Congressional Authorization” for this banner, the state is moving beyond the realm of tolerance and into the territory of mandatory veneration. They are attempting to replace the ancient paths with a new high place, built upon the ruins of the foundations that once made this nation a city upon a hill.
In The Harbinger, we see the pattern of national defiance: when the hedge of protection is lifted, the response of the leaders is not repentance, but a proud vow to rebuild according to their own will. “The bricks are fallen down, but we will build with hewn stones: the sycomores are cut down, but we will change them into cedars” (Isaiah 9:10). This legislative push is the “hewn stone” of our time. It is the attempt to use the authority of the government to cement a moral paradigm that stands in direct opposition to the Creator. The rainbow, once the sacred token of God’s mercy and his promise never again to destroy the earth by water, has been seized and repurposed as a banner of the very conduct that once brought judgment upon the cities of the plain.
The location is not a coincidence. The Stonewall Uprising was the opening of a portal, a moment where the “Enchantress” returned to the public square to transform the nature of the family and the identity of the soul. That a senator from New York would lead the charge to make this symbol a permanent, authorized standard of the Republic is the fulfillment of a mystery. It is the formalization of the Great Falling Away. We are witnessing the state bowing its knee to the spirits of the age, choosing to display a banner because of a lie rather than the Truth. Yet, the faithful must remember that while the nations rage and the rulers take counsel together against the Lord, He that sitteth in the heavens shall laugh. Our standard is not a rainbow of man’s making, but the blood-stained cross of a King who is coming to reclaim His own.
