colors of tthe veil, cont'd.

The third color of the veil is scarlet.....perhaps the most significant of all the colors in the veil. Scarlet or red represents the purpose of this entire gospel story; it represents the shed blood of the Lamb of Calvary. "Behold the Lamb of God who taketh away the sins of the world.
Hebrews says "How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?"
Heb. 9-14. 1 Peter 1:18,19...For as much as ye know that ye were not redeemed with corruptible things such as silver or gold, from your vain conversations received by tradition from your fathers; but with the precious blood of Christ, as of a Lamb without blemish and without spot:"
The scarlet on the veil speaks to you and I tonight of the blood that Jesus shed for each and every man, woman, boy or girl on the face of planet earth. He was faithful to death and are we not required to do the same if necessary?
One more color though it may not be spelled out in these verses, is the color of white...someone has said that white is the presence of all colors and that black is the absence of colors..I don't know if that is true or not but it does fit if it is true. In it's description of the veil the Bible speaks of fine twined linen. It is depicted in Revelation as the righteousness of the saints. It speaks of purity. If we are going to be part of the bride then we must have purity...we must be pure and the blood of Jesus is the only thing that will keep us pure and make us pure. Our thought life must be pure...our conversation must be pure...what we say..when you say Oh my God..are you using His name in vane or are you praying? Are we honest in all our business dealings with others? You know the devil is an accuser but there are times when it is the Word of God that accuses us. White is a color in the veil.
Oh! the blood that drew salvation's plan, oh! the grace that brought it down to man, Oh the might gulf that God did span...at Calvary.
