NEGLECT |
|
The
tattered and
worn flag
symbolizes the
apathy and
neglect
for the
principles on
which this
country was
founded.
|
|
 |
|
WARFARE |
|
The
bullet holes
represent the
spiritual and
physical
Warfare
that has and is
taking place for
our freedom. |
|
 |
|
SACRIFICE |
|
This
bullet hole,
tinged with
blood,
symbolizes the
sacrifice of the
flag bearer. He
willingly
becomes
vulnerable,
laying down his
own arms, in
order that he
may raise the
flag and rally
the troops.

|
TRAGEDY |
|
The
tragedy
of September 11,
2001 is
remembered as
you see the twin
towers of the
New York Trade
Center. The face
formed by the
rising smoke
reminds us that
we live in a
world filled
with violence
and tragedy. |
|
 |
|
EVIL |
|
The
presence of
evil
represented by
the two demonic
faces is a
reminder of the
ever-present
spiritual battle
being fought
daily.

|
HOPE |
|
The
hope
of
healing
is depicted by
the mending of
the flag. "I
know the plans I
have for you,"
declares the
Lord, "plans to
prosper you and
not to harm you,
plans to give
you hope and a
future."
Jeremiah 29:11

LIFE |
|
Life
is precious at
any age. This
unborn child
reminds us to
hold high the
value of human
life. |
|
 |
|
PRAYER |
|
It is
through the
humble
prayers
of God’s people,
repenting and
seeking Him that
the promise of
His hearing and
forgiving and
healing our land
will come.
|
|
 |
|
JESUS |
|
JESUS
is the One who
is mending the
flag. (Notice
the nailprint.)
He is truly the
Hope for our
nation. Healing
is available
through trusting
in His
sacrificial
death, burial
and
resurrection.
The Crimson
Thread of Christ
Jesus the Savior
is woven all
through the
Bible, from
Genesis to
Revelation.
