The colors of the pales (the vertical stripes) are those used in the flag of the United States of America; White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valour, and Blue, the color of the Chief (the broad band above the stripes) signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice."
The star is a symbol of the heavens and the divine goal to which man has aspired from time immemorial; the stripe is symbolic of the rays of light emanating from the sun."
The 50 stars represent the 50 states of the USA
The 13 stripes on the USA flag represent the 13 original colonies (known as Old Glory)
The red stripes are situated at the top and bottom
The stars on the USA flag are arranged in nine offset horizontal rows of stars - six stars are displayed on the top and bottom rows - the rows of six stars alternate with rows of five stars
According to Ancient and Heraldic traditions much symbolism is associated with colors. The colors on the USA flag represent the following:
White - peace and honesty
Red - hardiness, bravery, strength & valour
Blue - vigilance, truth and loyalty, perseverance & justice
i can't find a biblical meaning for the american flag on the internet. I tried to answer your question, I am sorry that I could not provide you with more information.

they are all suited. The Bible isn't being interpreted in a distinctive way. some elect to concentration extra on particular factors than others. some, regrettably, elect to go away factors out. the regularly occurring, hassle-free ideals of Christianity are the comparable. the secret's accepting Jesus Christ as Lord and Savior who lived in this Earth as a sinless guy, healed all who believed, crucified on the flow with the help of Roman infantrymen, who did crucifixions daily (definite, he died and definite, it became into him) for the forgiveness of sins, rose from the lifeless after 3 days as he reported he would, became into considered alive with the help of over 500 human beings, and is the only thank you to heaven. he's who He reported He became into, God. All denominations have confidence that. examine the Bible for your self. do no longer assume you recognize it from what different persons enable you recognize approximately it. that is confusing previously each and every thing yet over the years, you will start to appreciate. It has each and every thing in it you go with for existence.

Sorry, you are mistaken...Seems they adapted it from the U.K.'s Union Jack...
Colors
According to Flags of the World, the colors are specified by the General Services Administration "Federal Specification, Flag, National, United States of America and Flag, Union Jack," DDD-F-416E, dated November 27, 1981. It gives the colors by reference to "Standard Color Cards of America" maintained by the Color Association of the United States, Inc., as:
Old Glory Blue Old Glory Red White
Cable No. 70075 70180 70001
Approximation to Pantone 281 193 Safe
According to the book, "Our Flag" published by the House of Representatives, "The colors red, white, and blue did not have meanings for The Stars and Stripes when it was adopted in 1777." It goes on to say, on page 41 (page 47 of the PDF version)[2] that the colors of the Great Seal of the United States, when it was adopted in 1782, were defined thus: "White signifies purity and innocence, Red, hardiness & valour, and Blue, the color of the Chief [the broad band above the stripes] signifies vigilance, perseverance & justice."
Many people also take the red as a reference to the blood of patriots, especially members of the military, who fought for freedom.

You must be talking about France, the UK, Austraila, Chilie, the Netherlands, or some other country outside of the United States. I know it for a fact. I'm from Philadelphia and I've been to Betsy Ross's house many times. They went with Red White and Blue keeping with the colors of the UK which they emancipated themselves from. To them the colors meant white to mean purity and innocence, red for valor and hardiness, and blue for vigilance, perseverance, and justice.

Did you know that the British colors are also red white and blue and our flag is a symbol of our original heritage??

I thought our Forfathers used those colors because they basically wanted to re-do the British flag.

There was a dictionary with the words "red", "white", and "blue" in it. Probably came from there. You see stretching the bible that far to make it look good does the opposite, and does not help it.

So, what do the colors mean? Seems like something is missing between the question and your answer. I want to learn something today.
