Red, Blue, Green Guidon Flags
Recently a group under the leadership of
Harold Camping has made its name known in media and across billboards of America. This group firmly believes that the Biblical Prophecy of Judgement Day will manifest on May 21, 2011 - in less than three weeks.
They have made many
fliers,
broadsides, and posters
foretelling of this event. Two of
designs have
caught my eye since they feature flags. One design features eight long trumpets with
guidons hanging along the horn. These flags are essentially
guidons of a solid colour - either red, blue, or green.
Internet Broadside with
"official" national Flags
In another
Internet-broadside uses the flags of actual nations. Starting in the front is the red banner socialism, then Belgium, then Jamaica, then Canada, then a white flag (which could be Israel, Japan, Korea, Cyprus), followed by a Nigerian Flag, and finally a unknown blue flag. Does this mean that these nations will have a special role on Judgement Day, or was it all random?
Instead of simply announcing that the end times are approaching this message goes out of its way to cross out 2012. This makes no sense.
Groups like this has come and gone, and certainly will come again. These doomsday holy writ end is near phenomena demonstrate the power of holy scripture over the human mind. It is powerful force that commands my respect and evokes a heart felt response. They offer us an introspective account on our purpose here on Earth. They make me wonder about the meaning of life and the infinite dimensions all around us.
In my
judgment this group has an imbalance of intuition over logic - via too much
intuition and not enough logic. In any case on May 21, 2011- many people will ponder the meaning of life, which is good.
Essentially my feeling about this group and groups of this nature is or -
