WHY THE WHORE OF BABYLON WEARS PURPLE AND RED
The Whore of Babylon of Revelation 17 is clothed in scarlet and purple and gold, and many have wondered what these colors represent.
We
know that the Whore of Babylon draws men and women away from true salvation and
we see this salvation represented in the colors of the fabric in the Jewish
temple.
Note
the following list:
The
colors of the hems of the robes, of the
curtains covering the sacred implements we see the color pattern of gold, blue,
purple and scarlet.
The
Girdles- Exodus 39:24, Exodus 39:29
The
Ephod- Exodus 39:5, 8
The
Breastplate -Exodus 28:15, 39: 1
The
cloths for service, the hanging for the gate of the court of the Temple- Exodus
38:18, 27:16
Hanging
for Tabernacle Door- Exodus 36:37
Curtains
of Tabernacle- Exodus 36:8
The
Vail of the Temple- Exodus 26:31 Tabernacle with 10 curtains, Exodus 26:1
In
the Whore’s attire, while it matches up with the colors in the Temple it is
missing one significant color and that is blue. Blue represents God’s holiness.
In
the Old Testament we see the following in blue:
Robes
of the priests were blue- Ex.28:31
Table
of showbread, dishes, spoons, bowls, and bread shall be spread out on blue
cloth-Numbers 4:7
Blue
cloth covering the candlesticks, lamps, tongs, snuff dishes and all of the oil
vessels- Numbers 4:9
Golden
alter covered with a cloth of blue and with badgers skins and put into the
staves-Numbers 4:11
All
the instruments of ministry in the sanctuary placed in a cloth of blue- Numbers
4:12
Numbers
in the NKJ 15:38 states:
Speak unto the children
of Israel and bid them that they make them fringes in the borders of their
garments throughout their generations, and that they put upon the fringe of the
borders a ribbon of blue.
Numbers
15:37-41 in In the NKJV reads:
37 Again the Lord spoke to Moses, saying, 38 “Speak to the
children of Israel: Tell them to make tassels on the corners of their garments
throughout their generations, and to put a blue thread in the tassels of the
corners. 39 And you shall have
the tassel, that you may look upon it and remember all the commandments of the Lord and do them, and that you may not follow the harlotry to which your own heart and your own
eyes are inclined, 40 and that you may
remember and do all My commandments, and be holy for your God. 41 I am the Lord your God, who
brought you out of the land of Egypt, to be your God: I am the Lord your God.”
We also see it very
clearly in Ezekiel 38:36-38 on the instructions to Aaron.
36 “You shall also make a plate of pure gold and
engrave on it, like the
engraving of a signet:
HOLINESS TO THE LORD.
37 And you shall put it on a blue cord, that it may
be on the turban; it shall be on the front of the turban. 38 So it
shall be on Aaron’s forehead, that Aaron may bear the iniquity of the holy
things which the children of Israel hallow in all their holy gifts; and it
shall always be on his forehead, that they may be accepted before the Lord.
Holiness to the Lord
was embroidered in blue. Blue is the color of God’s holiness. This is why blue is missing on the Harlot
because she is unholy and a counterfeit and leads men and women to a false
god. It is interesting that she has the
same colors representing faith but misses the key color of blue representing
the Lord God Himself.

I have a small request. Many read my website and the information is free of charge and the only revenue coming in from my articles are from Google Ads, which amount to shockingly such low amounts- literally pennies- that you cannot count it as a viable source of revenue without millions of page hits, which this website being a niche site does not get. Book sales do not generate the income one would expect due to the hundreds upon hundreds of books published in every category. I do not charge fees to read my material because I want the information I provide available to all. So I am requesting your help.
This site's articles and videos take a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. Bible Prophecy’s message is an important one to get out.
