 Bible Colors
Gold. "And the street of the city was pure gold, like transparent glass." Revelation 21:21
| The prophet Jeremiah, in Chapter 10, ridicules those who make idols and worship them. With what colors does he say these misguided workmen clothe the idols? | Colors in the Bible
|
Violet and purple. Jeremiah 10:8-9 says, "But they are altogether stupid and foolish in their discipline of delusion - their idol is wood! Beaten silver is brought from Tarshish, and gold from Uphaz. The work of a craftsman and of the hands of a goldsmith; violet and purple are their clothing; they are the work of skilled men."
| As Job details his woes to his friends in Chapter 30, how does he describe his skin? | Colors in the Bible
|
"My skin turns black on me". "I have become a brother to jackals, and a companion to ostriches. My skin turns black on me, and my bones burn with fever." Job 30:29-30
| How many times is the word "pink" used in the Bible (New American Standard Version)? | Colors in the Bible
|
None. Out of six of the most popular Bible translations, none contains the word "pink". One translation, known as the International Reader's Version, uses it four times to describe leprosy sores in Leviticus 13. The other translations use "whitish red" in those passages. Since the authoritative source for this quiz is the New American Standard Version, the correct answer is None.
| This woman was a seller of purple. She is considered to be Paul's first European convert. Who is she? | Colors in the Bible
|
Lydia. "And a certain woman named Lydia, from the city of Thyatira, a seller of purple fabrics, a worshiper of God, was listening; and the Lord opened her heart to respond to the things spoken by Paul." Acts 16:14
Priscilla was the wife of Aquila. They were tentmakers and Paul stayed with them in Corinth. Bernice was the consort to King Agrippa, who heard Paul's defense.
Dorcas, also called Tabitha, was a disciple who fell ill and died. Paul raised her from the dead.
| In John's vision described in the book of Revelation, what color is the throne of the judgment seat? | Colors in the Bible
|
White. "And I saw a great white throne and Him who sat upon it, from whose presence earth and heaven had fled away, and no place was found for them." Revelation 20:11
| When Jesus took Peter, James and John with him up to the mountain to pray at the event known as the Transfiguration, his appearance changed. What color did his clothing become? | Colors in the Bible
|
Gleaming white. "And while he was praying, the appearance of his face became different and his clothing became white and gleaming." Luke 9:29
Green. "'And to every beast of the earth and to every bird of the sky and to every thing that moves on the earth which has life, I have given every green plant for food'; and it was so." Genesis 1:30
| The Virtuous Woman is described in Proverbs 31. It says, "All her household are clothed with ________." What is the missing color? | Colors in the Bible
|
Scarlet. "She is not afraid of the snow for her household, for all her household are clothed with scarlet." Proverbs 31:21
| We read an account of Jesus placing a curse on a fig tree in one of the four gospels. What color were the figs? | Colors In The Bible
|
there were no figs. The tree had produced no fruit because it was not yet the season for them. Jesus may have chosen this action in order to teach a lesson to his disciples the following morning: a lesson about prayer and speaking things into and out of existence through faith. (Mark 11:12-24)
| Throughout the Bible we often read of God being a God of light, and associate many attributes to him in this regard. Where do we find Him being manifested in thick darkness? | Colors In The Bible
|
Deuteronomy 4:11-12. Notice that in Deuteronomy it does not say that God IS darkness, it merely states that he appeared in clouds of darkness while the mountain was on fire. This may represent a volcanic eruption, although that is not stated. The children of Israel did not see God, because of the darkness, but they did hear his voice.
| Israel (Jacob) loved his son Joseph more than all of his brothers, according to Genesis 37:3. As a result, he made him a coat of many colors. His brothers, jealous of his standing with their father and despising his many dreams or visions, decided to remove it from him. What color did they change the coat to? | Colors In The Bible
|
red. His brothers actually plotted to kill him, but the oldest son, Reuben, stopped them. However, they did sell him into slavery via a passing caravan that was on its way to Egypt. They then dipped the coat in a baby goat's blood that they had killed for this purpose. In this way, they could convince their father that he had been attacked by a wild animal and they had "found" only his coat, which was left behind. (Genesis 37)
| In the book of Revelation, we see a throne mentioned. Christians believe that this is the throne of Christ as seen in heaven. Three colors are mentioned in Revelation 4:3, but only one is mentioned as a rainbow surrounding this throne. What color is this rainbow? | Colors In The Bible
|
emerald green. In chapter 4, verse 3 of Revelation, we see an emerald rainbow around the throne. Christians believe that Jesus was the Lion of the tribe of Judah (Revelation 5:5) and the stone that represents Judah is an emerald. This color may represent life, (think greenery, like springtime.) Because it is a rainbow going all the way around the throne with no beginning and no end, it may represent the eternal; thus, "eternal life."
| King Belshazzar, the son of King Nebuchadnezzar of the Babylonians, defiled the vessels that had been taken from the city of Jerusalem when the Israelites were captured and brought into captivity. These vessels were of what two colors? | Colors In The Bible
|
gold and silver. Because of this act of desecration, Belshazzar saw a disembodied hand writing "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN" upon the plaster of the wall of the palace. Daniel,the prophet who was captive in Babylon, was called upon to interpret the message. He informed Belshazzar that his kingdom was finished, that Belshazzar himself was found wanting according to God's scales of balance, and his kingdom would be divided between the Medes and Persians. That very night, Belshazzar was killed and Darius the Mede took over the kingdom. The entire account may be found in the book of Daniel, Chapter 5.
| Moses was on Mount Sinai, receiving instructions on how to construct the tabernacle as well as the ten commandments. The Israelites, with the help of Moses' brother Aaron, the high priest, were busy making a molten golden calf. Since they were wandering through the wilderness, where had they obtained the gold they used to make it? Specifically, who had provided it to them? | Colors In The Bible
|
The Egyptians. The Egyptians, who had suffered a series of 10 plagues because they continued holding the Israelites captive after Moses' requests to the Pharaoh were denied, were apparently so relieved to be rid of them and the plagues, that they gave them all manner of silver, gold, jewels and clothing. (Exodus 12:35-36)
| According to the book of Revelation, what, in the city of new Jerusalem, is described as pure gold? | Colors In The Bible
|
the city itself and the street. In Revelation 21:21, we are told the STREET (singular) of the city is "pure gold, as it were transparent glass." Many people somehow read into this that the streets are paved with gold. This verse brings to our attention that only one street is mentioned, and instead of it being paved, it is MADE of pure gold. Also, in verse 18, we notice that the city itself is pure gold.
| King David is described as having a "beautiful countenance" with a complexion best described as what color? | Colors In The Bible
|
red or ruddy. This comes from 1 Samuel 16:12. The prophet Samuel was sent by God to anoint one of Jesse's sons as the next king of Israel, who would replace Saul. Samuel was not sure which of the sons was to be anointed, so David's seven older brothers were presented first. David was then sent for, from the fields where he was tending sheep, and Samuel, upon seeing him face to face, realized that this was the son that would one day be Israel's second king. He proceeded to anoint David that day.
| What color were the stones that the high priest, Aaron, wore on the shoulderpieces of his priestly vestments (the ephod)? | Colors In The Bible
|
black. The stones were black - onyx - and contained the names of tribes of the children of Israel, six names per stone. These were placed upon the shoulders of the high priest, perhaps so that God, when looking down on the priest, would see the names as a reminder that these were His chosen people. (Exodus 28: 6-12)
