The theological roots behind one of our most recognizable modern symbols
In short: While many see the rainbow as a contemporary symbol, this video explores its ancient spiritual origins. It examines how the flag connects to historical religious narratives and the concept of divine covenants.
The presentation contextualizes the ubiquity of the rainbow flag during Pride Month by tracing it back to what the creators describe as "God's idea." The core argument explores a connection between modern iconography and the biblical narrative of the original covenant made with mankind.
By examining these hidden layers, the video aims to provide a different perspective on how symbols evolve from sacred history into cultural identifiers.
