Biblical Color Meaning in the Bible

"When God appeared unto Noah after the flood, and placed a rainbow in the sky, He did much more than show him a phenomenon.

In the seven colors, beginning with red and ending with purple, God was displaying a natural miracle that demonstrated the complete redemption of man".

Antipas/M. Stewart This is a compilation of many interpretations of biblical colors meaning that I have collected over the last several years.

I hope that you find it biblical and authentic.

From Genesis to Revelations the Word of God is full of symbolic (biblical) color meaning.

Using colors to express how we feel towards God in dramatic worship (with banners) can be very therapeutic and beneficial to us and a blessing to God's people.

I have found that when we enjoy worshipping the Lord He enjoys receiving our worship.

Blessing and strengthening and uplifting the Body of Christ uplifts and unifies the Lord's work .

I hope that you will be able to utilize the many color difinitions. I do know that God loves color.

The colors that we see here on the earth realm are only a portion of what is in heaven.

May you be blessed by what is here and I hope that it releases you into a deeper

understand of the impact that color brings.
