"The Ark is lit permanently at night with a rainbow to remind the world that God owns it and He decreed it's a sign of His covenant with man after the Flood." -Ken Ham

(Williamstown, KY)—[Gospel Herald] Answers in Genesis founder Ken Ham has announced the ministry's Noah's Ark-themed park will now be permanently lit up with rainbow lights as a reminder that God owns the rainbow—not the LGBT community. (Photo: The Ark Encounter/Ken Ham/via Gospel Herald)

On Facebook, Ham shared a photo of The Ark Encounter in Williamstown, KY lit up in red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo and violet.

"We now have new permanent rainbow lights at The Ark Encounter so all can see that it is God's rainbow and He determines its meaning in Genesis 6" Ham captioned the photo.

He explained that the rainbow is a reminder that "God will never again judge the wickedness of man with a global Flood; next time the world will be judged by fire."

"The Ark is lit permanently at night with a rainbow to remind the world that God owns it and He decreed it's a sign of His covenant with man after the Flood. Christians need to take back the rainbow as we do at the Ark Encounter," Ham said.

As of Wednesday morning, Ham's post received over 25,000 "likes" and hundreds of comments—most of them encouraging.

"Love this. It's time to take the rainbow back and celebrate its actual meaning," wrote one woman.

"This is why I love the rainbow and chuckle whenever I see the LGBT crowd try and use it. I'm like 'you do realize your sign has been around since the beginning of time and you're actually sharing a promise from God right?'" wrote another.

"Wow, beautiful. So great to see the rainbow in its true context!" wrote another.

Others, however, weren't so positive...
