Franklin Graham has criticized
President Barack Obama for illuminating the White House in rainbow
colors to celebrate the Supreme Court's ruling striking down state
bans on gay marriage.
(Related: Obama:
White House “looked good” in rainbow colors.)
Graham, the son of evangelist Billy
Graham and head of the Billy Graham Evangelist Association, said that
“the floodgates of acceptance of this practice of sexual immorality
were opened wide” under the “zealous gay/lesbian activism of
President Obama.”
“Never, though, would I have dreamed
that our president would light up the White House with the vivid
bright rainbow colors of the gay movement. It was a deliberate,
measured step by the president to flaunt and celebrate a disastrous
[Supreme Court] ruling that blatantly defies God's moral law,”
Graham opined in the September issue of Decision magazine, a
publication of the Billy Graham Evangelistic Association.
Graham went on to suggest that rainbows
are a sign of a dying civilization.
“When the rainbow appears in the Book
of Revelation, it precedes the impending, unstoppable wrath that will
come upon all who rebel against Christ.”
“I cannot overstate what a dangerous
era we have now entered. Immorality and depraved debauchery are not
only endorsed by courts and political leaders, but these are joyfully
celebrated,” Graham wrote.
