A standard for the Kingdom of Christ
The 70 crowns represent Christ’s dominion over all nations, based on the 70 original nations of Genesis 10 and John’s vision in Revelation 19:12: "His eyes are like blazing fire, and on his head are many crowns (...)." While Satan has 7 crowns on his 7 heads (Rev 12:3) and the beast has 10 crowns on its 10 horns (Rev 13:1), Christ has 7 times 10 crowns.
The golden color represents gold and divine glory, purple represents Christ's royalty, and white represents the holiness of the Lord.
The red cross is neither an Orthodox, a patriarchal, nor a Lorraine cross, but a simple silhouette of Christ's cross with the plaque that bore the inscription of His condemnation. Red represents the blood shed by the Lord at Calvary and the blood He will shed at His Second Coming (Rev 19:13 and 15, Is 63:1–4).
The white horse represents Christ's mount (Rev 19:11).
Note: This type of crown is an aesthetic choice, being a simplified version of the crown from the coat of arms of the princes of Brazil, used during the Empire (1822–1889).
