Bible Question: I have did some research on these words..."white linen and blue linen?" I know that the terms are used in several books in the Bible in reference to the Tabernacle....blue linen, white linen, and other colors were used, but do not know what these colors symbolize. Can anyone help me with this? |
Bible Answer: We generally see four colors. Red - Blood Blue - Sky or watere Purple - Royality White - Purity Purple and Blue were not mixed colors but instead were dyes obtained from Molusk and thus were very expensive. Red often came from fruit and was less expensive and of course white was bleached linen. Some see the four colors are all shadows, representing the four facets of Jesus, and the four Gospels. Purple - color of royalty, corresponds to Matthew, who portrays Jesus as King, also represented by the face of a lion. White - color of servant, corresponds to Mark, who portrays Jesus as the servant, also represented by the face of an ox. Red - color of blood, corresponds to Luke, who portrays Jesus as man, also represented by the face of a man. Blue - color of Heaven, corresponds to John, who portrays Jesus as God, also represented by the face of an eagle. Other see Blue-King, Scarlet-Judge, Purple-Prophet, and agan white purity |
