About this episode
We live in a time of rampant theological larceny. Our modern world does not just disagree with the God of the Bible; it actively seeks to plunder His house, steal His treasures, and repurpose them for its own rebellious ends. And there is perhaps no more blatant example of this than the cultural hijacking of the rainbow. A symbol given by God as a profound promise of His mercy has been commandeered as the banner for a revolution against His created order. It is looking at God's promise not to destroy the world and using that very promise as a flag to celebrate the sins that would warrant destruction. We must not shrug our shoulders and let them have the symbol. To understand the rainbow is to understand the character of God, the nature of His covenants, and the very stability of the world we live in.
