“And this is the offering which ye shall take of them; ... 4 And blue, and purple, and scarlet, ...” (Ex 25:3-4).
The colors of blue, purple and scarlet (red) are a parable of Jesus. Since it was the Holy Spirit that signified this to be a parable of Jesus Christ, it behooves us to see the complete Son of God in this particular color scheme. This is seen in the following manner: blue, being the color of the sky (which is associated with Heaven), is the color of His deity; the scarlet (red), being the color of blood, is the color of His humanity; purple (a blending of the color of His deity, i.e blue, and the color of His humanity, i.e. red) is the color of the God-man (Incarnate Deity). The doctrine of the Dual Nature of Christ is taught in such a way as to maintain the distinction between the deity and humanity. Though perfectly combined and blended together within the one person of the Christ, the two natures are perfectly separate. This is wonderfully presaged in the color scheme of the tabernacle, in that the color of His deity (blue) and the color of His humanity (red) never touch. Blue and red are always separated by the color purple.
(The color purple worn by Christian bishops comes from here, and is worn to represent to the world the Son of God as the Incarnate God-man.) This is reflected in the three creeds we have reviewed earlier:
The Apostolic Creed
“This Incarnation not lessening His deity, nor altering His humanity; fully God and fully man, consubstantiated.”
The Nestorian Creed
“ ... we anathematize and alienate from all contact with us everyone who denies the nature of the Godhead and the nature of the manhood of our Lord Jesus Christ, ... or one who does not say that the Word of God fulfilled the suffering of our salvation in the body of his manhood. Though he was in him, with him, and toward him in the belly, on the cross, in suffering, and for ever, inseparably, while the glorious nature of his Godhead did not participate in any sufferings, ...”
Creed of Chalcedon
“We, then, following the holy Fathers, all with one consent, teach men to confess one and the same Son, our Lord Jesus Christ, the same perfect in Godhead and also perfect in manhood; truly God and truly man, of a reasonable [rational] soul and body; consubstantial [co-essential] with the Father according to the Godhead, and consubstantial with us according to the Manhood; in all things like unto us, without sin; ... one and the same Christ, Son, Lord, Only begotten, to be acknowledged in two natures, inconfusedly, unchangeably, indivisibly, inseparably; the distinction of natures being by no means taken away by the unity, but rather the property of each nature being preserved, and concurring in one Person and one Subsistence, not parted or divided into two persons, but one and the same Son, and only begotten, God the Word, the Lord Jesus Christ; as the prophets from the beginning [have declared] concerning him, and the Lord Jesus Christ himself has taught us, and the Creed of the holy Fathers has handed down to us.”
