Why Does Work of God Church Incorporate Flags and Banners Into Our Worship?
Flags are used during worship to:
- Minister first to Our King Jesus and then to His people
- Communicate with our Lord
- Intercede before Him
- Warfare through worship (He goes forth and conquers the enemy)
- Make prophetic proclamations
Are flags mentioned in the Bible?
Ensign, standard or banner are the most common scriptural terms that are references for "flags". Here is a partial list to begin your own study journey:
Exodus 17:15
Psalms 20:5, 60:4
Song of Solomon 2:4, 5:10, 6:4
Isaiah 5:26, 11:10 & 12, 13:2, 18:3, 31:9, 49:22, 59:19, 62:10
Jeremiah 4:6 & 21, 50:2, 51:12, 51:27

Why Use Flags/Banners in Worship?
Substantiating the purpose of flags in worship today are two key Messianic prophecies. Isaiah 11:10 foretells that Jesus is the New Testament fulfillment of Jehova-nissi (The Lord Our Banner): "And in that day there shall be a Root of Jesse, who shall stand as an ensign (banner, signal) to the people..." He is also the embodiment of the Beloved in the Song of Solomon (5:10), referred to by the Shulamite as the Chiefest or Chief among ten thousand, her "Degel", her "Lifted up Banner"
Jesus on the cross at Calvary became the ultimate Standard, Banner, Ensign, Flag.
