Purple
Purple (Royalty)
The Hebrews would get this color from mixing
blue and
scarlet together. This deep red-purple color was a color of royalty (Kingly)
Judg 8:26 ornaments, pendants, and purple robes which were on the kings of
Midian, and besides the chains that were around their camels' necks.
The color purple typifies Jesus as King of king's and Lord of lord's, but
there is another important truth. The mixing of blue and scarlet. Blue speaks of
someone who is heavenly-minded, and scarlet, as we shall see, represents blood
and death, sacrifice, and manhood. Purple is a combination of both, which speaks
of Christ as both God and man. In some mysterious way He combined both natures
in His own when He took upon Himself the likeness of sinful flesh.
