Well, the rainbow is that G-d promises not to destroy the earth with a flood again.But I don't. I saw the "Antifa-BLM" posted like this on another site and immediately thought Antebellum? Wow, so similar....
OH and the "what does it mean" was a Double Rainbow meme reference.

No, ante means before. Antebellum is pre civil war.Bellum is Latin for war. Parabellum (as in 9mm Parabellum) means for war. Antebellum means after the war, commonly used in describing the post Civil War South.

Something I noticed. "What Does It Mean"???

But you are correct on the meaning of parabellum.
No, he wasn't.
I had the misfortune of learning Latin in high school. However, many English words have Latin roots so at least it helps me be a d!ckhead now. lol.
Si vis pacem, para bellum. If you want peace prepare for war.
So para translates as "prepare (for)" from the Latin verb parare and is the present singular imperative tense. The imperative tense of a verb is an instruction or command. One could argue it should be parate bellum, the present plural imperative tense, but para bellum was good enough for the Romans so who am I to argue.
