Near the end of the Bible various gems and precious stones are listed as being part of the Holy City. My interest in the colors and their significance was piqued. I also decided to follow the references to the number 12 since it was mentioned in Revelation also.

THE COLOR BLUE
For the longest time the color blue was one of my favorite colors. In the Bible the color blue represents the heavens, probably from the mention of light in Genesis. Since the day and night were separated and because our sky is usually blue, it is my guess that this connection can be made. In Christian art the saints and angels may be clothed in blue robes. In the curtains of the tabernacle, the colors that were intertwined in the material were blue, red, and purple.
