WHY I LOVE PURPLE!

-







Most people have a favorite color.
Purple is my favorite color. I love
seeing purple flowers and blooms. 
I purchased a Japanese Magnolia 
tree because it had purple flowers.  

 I discovered from my Bible study, 
that purple cloth was mentioned 
several times in the scriptures.It 
seemed that wearing items made
from purple cloth meant you were
important.  Jesus even had on a 
purple robe temporarily during the
time of His Crucifixion.

I am sharing some of the scriptures
I found that discuss the color purple.




EXODUS 39:1 



 
 Of the blue, purple, and scarlet thread they made garments of ministry, for ministering in the holy place, and made the holy garments for Aaron, as the Lord had commanded Moses.

 
NUMBERS 4:13 

And they shall take away the ashes from the altar, and spread a purple cloth thereon:


JUDGES 8:26 

And the weight of the golden earrings 
that he requested was a thousand and seven hundred [shekels] of gold; beside ornaments, and collars, and purple raiment that [was] on the kings of Midian, and beside the chains that [were] about their camels' necks.

PROVERBS 31:22 

 

She makes tapestry for herself; Her clothing is fine linen and purple.







 

 

MARK  15:17-20

17 And they clothed Him with purple; and they twisted a crown of thorns, put it on His head,  
18 and began to salute Him, “Hail, King of the Jews!”  
19 Then they struck Him on the head with a reed and spat on Him; and bowing the knee, they worshiped Him.  
20 And when they had mocked Him, they took the purple off Him, put His own clothes on Him, and led Him out to crucify Him.

LUKE  16:19 

 “There was a certain rich man who was clothed in purple and fine linen and fared sumptuously every day.



ACTS 16:14




Now a certain woman named Lydia heard us. She was a seller of purple from the city of Thyatira, who worshiped God. The Lord opened her heart to heed the things spoken by Paul.

REVELATION  17:4

 

The woman was arrayed in purple 
and scarlet, and adorned with gold 
and precious stones and pearls, 
having in her hand a golden cup full
of abominations and the filthiness of 
her fornication.

DEPICTION OF JONAH RUNNING AWAY FROM THE LORD I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.      This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I will share scriptures which discuss that the Lord CALLED a man named Jonah.  He did not want to answer the Lord's call and ran away.  There were consequences to Jonah's actions. The Lord's will did prevail. He did go to Nineveh. JONAH 1: 1-4, 6-9, 12, 15-17 1  Now the word of the Lord came to Jonah the

DEPICTION OF RAHAB OF JERICHO I was doing Bible study one night and it became clear to me that, Noah, Moses, Jonah, Deborah, Jael, Lydia, Seller of Purple, Rehab, The Twelve Disciples, and Paul were all CALLED by God. The Lord may require  some people to carry out a special task.There will be others that may be required to minister His Word and  travel around the world as a missionary.   This week I'll share scriptures about different men  and women that were called by the Lord. Some of these people were rebellious and did not want to answer His call.  All eventually did the Lord's will. Today, I'll share scriptures which show how  a prostitute named  Rahab was used to help  Joshua's spies. Joshua, son of Nun, became  the ruler for the Israelites after Moses died. The Bible also tells us that the Lord is "not a respecter of persons"and accepts all who will respect him. It can be His will to use a harlot (prostitute)

ADAM & EVE'S FAMILY TREE

DEPICTION OF ADAM & EVE WITH THEIR CHILDREN I say thank you to PBS for featuring TV shows  on researching your family tree by Heny Louis Gates, Jr.  The show was called, "Finding Your Roots". I enjoyed this show and and eventually became very good at family tree research. Genealogy was important during Bible days and the Bible book of Genesis gives us several family trees. Today I am showing Adam and Eve’s family tree. GENESIS 2: 18, 22-24 18  And the Lord God said, “ It is not good that man should be alone; I will make him a helper comparable to him. 22  Then the rib which the Lord God had taken from man He made into a woman, and He brought her to the man. 23  And Adam said: “This is now bone of my bones And flesh of my flesh; She shall be called Woman, Because she was taken out of Man.” 24  Therefore a man shall leave h
