Since late February 2022, the mysterious flags appeared on poles in some areas of the territory, however, it remains unclear the reasons for the flags or who erected them.

Apostle Hodge in a social media post on Facebook quoting Deuteronomy 7:26 said, “Do not bring any detestable objects into your home, for then you will be destroyed, just like them. You must utterly detest such things, for they are set apart for destruction.”

“At the command of the Lord, we have removed the green cloths (detestable thing) from the poles in District 1. We went through each village removing the brazen logos of witchcraft and manipulation,” the Apostle added.

Efforts to reach Apostle Hodge proved futile; however, her social media post added, “My declaration is that our country is the stronghold of the Lord and not a haven for demons and witchery! Christ is King here!”

She further called on the people of the territory to remove the ‘witchcraft paraphernalia’ from the land while noting that to leave them in place invokes a curse and destruction in our territory as noted in the Scripture reference.”

The Apostle also called on members of the community to ‘tear them down' until the country is free from the flags also referred to as ‘a plague’.

It is our understanding that other community members have engaged in removing the cloth from the various districts at the request of Hodge, according to the post.

“Stand up for the BVI and remove these green menaces in the name of Jesus! With love for the BVI,” she added.

Ms Jael J. Hodge said the flags are ‘witchcraft paraphernalia’ and must be removed.
