Romans The color red in the Bible represents blood. Revelation And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth.
Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood. Col And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth or things in heaven.
And you, that were sometime alienated and enemies in your mind by wicked works, yet now hath he reconciled. A darker shade of red is scarlet. The Hebrew word for scarlet has the same root meaning as the Hebrew word for earth.
Remember that Esau became a profane man— a man related not to spiritual things, but to earthly things. Also from the root word of scarlet comes the word for worm. The psalmist referred to himself as a worm Psa , Isaiah referred to Jacob in his natural state as a worm Isa , and Jesus referred to the unregenerate man as a worm Mark , 46, 48 — and that is exactly what man is in his natural state, without God.
He is earthy. But, redeemed by the pure and precious blood of Jesus, our life is in the Spirit. The color blue represents Heaven. Blue is the color of the sky and a reminder of the heavenly realm. We are given a description of a glimpse of Heaven when we read of what Moses, Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu the sons of Moses , and the 70 elders of Israel saw when they went up to worship God on Mount Sinai:. Exodus And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness.
Sapphires reflect a beautiful sky-blue color reminding us of not only the blue heaven we can see but also the Heaven far beyond, the Heaven of heavens. Nehemiah Thou, even thou, art LORD alone; thou hast made heaven, the heaven of heavens, with all their host, the earth, and all things that are therein, the seas, and all that is therein, and thou preservest them all; and the host of heaven worshippeth thee. The color purple represents kingship. The Bible also reveals purple to be symbolic of wealth, prosperity, and luxury Exodus , Ezekiel , Proverbs , Song of Solomon , , Luke , Acts , Revelation , , Purple reminds us of Jesus because He is the King of kings and He lives and rules in the hearts of those who are His.
Romans And again, Esaias saith, There shall be a root of Jesse, and he that shall rise to reign over the Gentiles; in him shall the Gentiles trust.
Having received forgiveness through His blood, we will one day leave this earth, shed our flesh, and enter into Heaven and be with our King in all His splendor.
The color white represents righteousness because of its purity of color and light. White is the presence of all the light in the visible spectrum. Only a very small amount of the visible spectrum is absorbed. Fully light and without stain, the color white reminds us of the righteousness of Christ. He is pure light and pure righteousness and when a sinner comes to Him in faith He washes them clean.
Isaiah …though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. We are then set on a path of growing in faith, which leads us to our next color. The color green represents a growing and blooming where one is planted. It is representative of a Christian life that produces good fruit and finds rest in Christ. A green plant or tree is a healthy one, growing and producing leaves and flowers. A brown or withered plant is symbolic of the dying process.
With the noise of a great tumult He has kindled fire on it, And its branches are broken. Jeremiah For he shall be like a tree planted by the waters, Which spreads out its roots by the river, And will not fear when heat comes; But its leaf will be green , And will not be anxious in the year of drought, Nor will cease from yielding fruit. I am like a green cypress tree; Your fruit is found in Me. Christian growth and fruitfulness is achieved by living for Christ, being directed by His will, and finding peace in Him.
Psalm But I am like a green olive tree in the house of God: I trust in the mercy of God forever and ever. Psalm He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. There are many examples in the Bible of colors that point to Jesus. One of the greatest examples is the door of the Tabernacle. Exodus And for the gate of the court shall be an hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework: and their pillars shall be four, and their sockets four.
This was the gate, the entrance to the Tabernacle, a type of door in the fence that surrounded the Tabernacle. Yellow: Yellow is referenced in the Bible by the Hebrew word charuts , which refers to the precious metal gold.
Gold represents the sovereignty of God. Yellow and gold also represent the presence of God Deuteronomy and purification through fire 1 Peter In addition to primary colors, secondary colors also carry significance in the Bible.
Green: Green, being the color of vegetation, symbolizes life, restoration, and new beginnings Psalm 1. Green is also the color of resurrection , which we experience in Spring. Amber: Amber symbolizes the glory of God, His judgment, and endurance Ezekiel Purple: Purple represents royalty, majesty, and priesthood in the Bible John White: White refers to holiness, light, purity, redemption, and the righteousness of Jesus Christ Mark Black : Black symbolizes sin, darkness, death, and catastrophe Zephaniah Silver: Silver is symbolic for the Word of God, divinity, salvation, and refining Psalm Scarlet: Scarlet can represent sin Isaiah , but it also refers to royalty Daniel Bronze: Bronze stands for strength and durability.
As an alloy, it is hard and durable and was used to make the ten brazen lavers, which were basins for washing Exodus and the Molten Sea, a large basin for ablution of the priests in the temple Solomon built 1 Kings A myriad of colors is represented in Genesis when God sends a rainbow after the Flood.
The trial of faith will be more precious than Gold and be tried with fire. Here the meaning is: yellow is associated with fire, which in turn, has always been associated with the purification process. Blue is the third primary color.
It spiritually signifies the Healing Power of God. It is the most sublime subject and color which biblically represents the Word of God. The 15 th Chapter of Numbers, verses denote this biblical meaning of blue fringe of the borders a ribband of blue. The very fact that the Sky is blue stands for the presence of Yahweh. On the basis of this we can derive the spiritual meaning of colors in the Bible as follows for the three secondary colors.
Green is obtained by mixing yellow trials with blue Word of God. Therefore, the biblical meaning of the color green is immortality. The leaf shall not wither psalm Green is also symbolic of resurrection which we see each Spring.
