In the Bible (Old Testament/ Tanakh) the Israelites were commanded to wear fringes with blue (Tekhelet is the name for the particular blue dye). Numbers 15:38 (37-41)
37 ¶ And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
38 Speak unto the children of Israel, and bid them that they make them afringes in the bborders of their garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the borders a ribband of blue:
39 And it shall be unto you for a fringe, that ye may look upon it, and remember all the commandments of the Lord, and do them; and that ye seek not after your own heart and your own eyes, after which ye use to go a whoring:
40 That ye may remember, and do all my commandments, and be holy unto your God.
41 I am the Lord your God, which brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God.
Blue is generally thought of as a calming (peaceful) color, and the color of the sky (which can represent heaven). Heavenly Father chose this as one of the special colors for the House of Israel.
**I want to preface everything with Jesus' statement: "By their fruits ye shall know them."
I don't believe that everyone in one group is all bad, and that everyone in the other group is all good, but you can tell what the general culture is about by looking at their nature. **
Contrast this, with the Apostle John's vision (Book of Revelation) talking about the 4 Horsemen of the Apocalypse, in chapter 6:
1. White Horse (conquers)
2. Red Horse (takes power and destroys peace, brings war)
3. Black Horse (a whole day's pay for only a little food)
4. Pale / Spring Green chlÅros Horse (1/4th+ die of war, starvation, pestilence, and possibly animal attacks)
Keepers: Noah, Abraham, Isaac, Jacob, including the wives.
Mockers/Rejectors/Breakers: Ham/ (son of Ham) Canaan, etc, (Wife of Ham) Egyptus' ancestral lineage, Nimrod, Hagar (Egyptian), Ishmael (Half- Egyptian), Esau (Married Canaanite and Ishmaelite wives).
I am not lumping every single person alive today as guilty, but collectively the Islamic groups and nations have not lived up to the Peace portion of the covenant; their desire for centuries has been to be against the lineage of Jacob. They also as countries have a pattern of oppression, non or little-democracy, and human rights abuses. When they kill or execute people they are generally terrorizing and/or brutal, often swift and without judicial right of appeal. Revelation 20:4 does say that the anti-christ beast will behead people. There are parts of the world that are famous for that. You see why it is so important that evil people don't become our leaders or our enemies invading our borders or airspace?
Let's look at the flags. Reminder about the Horsemen's colors: White, Red, Black, and Green:
Some of the same flags as above, but some are different. Israel is the lone flag with White and Blue.
Let's compare with the flags where many of the descendants of Israel went: Notice the amount of blue and white...
Americas
Blue and White or Blue, White and Red combos dominate American flags, with Green and Yellow honorable mentions with almost no Black (Carribean area).
Europe
Combos of Red, White, or Blue are noticeable in European flags, as are Christian Crosses; Green, Yellow are next. Almost no Black, Maroon, nor Orange.
To be fair, let's look at other areas of the world:
(Egypt is in this picture/also in the Middle East section)
Yellow and Green dominate African flags, with Red probably next, and then White, Blue and Black next.
Asia
Asia
-- a few of these are different than the set above --
Red and White dominate the flags of Asia; Yellow, Green, or Blue or Orange are somewhat noticeable, with almost no Black.
If anyone would be looking to communicate with any countries likely to be a Last Days enemy, I would say consider learning: Chinese, Arabic, Russian, Korean, or Farsi (Iranian language). Several of these are BRICS members already. BRICS is an economic powerhouse, if you don't know already about that coalition of nations.
The current members of BRICS are Brazil, Russia, India, China, and South Africa. Other countries are showing interest.
Here's what Wikipedia has to say about BRICS:
"The BRICS nations encompass about 27% of the world's land surface and 42% of the global population.[a] Brazil, Russia, India, and China are among the world's ten largest countries by population, area, and GDP (PPP), and are considered to be current superpowers, or potential emerging superpowers. All five states are members of the G20, with a combined nominal GDP of US$28 trillion (about 27% of the gross world product), a total GDP (PPP) of around US$57 trillion (33% of global GDP PPP), and an estimated US$4.5 trillion in combined foreign reserves (as of 2018).[7][8]"
REVELATION 9:16 THEIR ARMY WILL BE 200,000,000 (200 MILLION) MEN, whoever are against the Saints, those who love freedom, follow Christ, or an Israelite nation.
Please do not support the Pro-Palestinian HAMAS movement. This is a front for other things which are much worse.
HAMAS is an acronym but in Hebrew Hamas means violent. It is the word used for violence in Genesis 6:11.
Please read the Bible and the Book of Mormon. The Book of Mormon has a special message about conflict, war, peace, and racial/religious divide. In the scriptures, and through personal prayer, are the answers for how to personally and collectively deal with the current and coming crises.
The Native American teachings also have special things about peace and righteousness (not peace as the world gives of agreements/stalemates which will later be broken, but the inner peace that transforms).
That's a wrap! You have a lot to think about.
