The GLORY of GOD's Presence
The greatest treasure of secrets of the Glory of
God's Presence in the Old Testament is seen in the tabernacle, while, the Book
of Revelation in the New Testament has the greatest presentation of the
resurrected Christ Who is the fullness of the Godhead bodily.
There are four colors of fabric at the gate of the
tabernacle. They are scarlet, white, blue, and purple. These 4 colors represent
Christ in His fullness at Salvation.
The scarlet presents Him as the Savior; white presents
Him as the perfect Man; blue as the Son of God; and purple as the King.
Scarlet, because He is the Savior of man—the Lamb of
God—our High Priest.
White, for He is the Son of Man Who identified with
our humanity—and became the only perfect Man.
Blue presents Him as the Son of God in His deity—the
Word that incarnated into a man.
And, purple presents Him as the King; the
long-awaited Messiah—the Anointed One.
Matthew presents Jesus Christ as "the messianic
King" which is also seen in the purple.
Mark portrays Jesus as “suffering Servant” [the
Servant of the Lord], instantly responsive to the Will of the Father. The white
color presents Him as “the perfect Man.”
Luke presents Him as “the Son of Man” Who identified
with the sorrow and plight of sinful man in order to carry our sins and sorrows
and offer us the priceless gift of Salvation. The scarlet color presents Him as
“the Savior”
And, John presents the deity of the incarnate Son of
God Who Himself is GOD (John 1:1). The interpretation of the color blue is that
He is “the Son of God.”
He is our Messiah King; the Servant of the Lord; the
Son of Man; and the Son of God, Who Himself is God. John 1:12 tells us that we have received the
right to become 'sons of God.'
So, when you read the Gospel, you receive the
revelation of Who Jesus is.
