Zechariah 1:8
During the night I had a vision—and there before me was a man riding a red horse! He was standing among the myrtle trees in a ravine. Behind him were red, brown and white horses.

? Revelation 17:3 ?
the doom of Baylon predicted

So he carried me away in the spirit into the
wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a
scarlet-colored beast, full of the names of
blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns.

I typed in 'scarlet beast' to get an image to put this scripture on. This was the last thing I expected to see. So I googled the name of the stamp and came up with this:

I have no words ... I just thought it called for careful examination for each to draw their own conclusion. To me it's just really, really interesting. Scroll down the page for the images.

Light Production


Our first clue of the meaning of colors is found in the first reference to light in the scripture.

• God decreed, "Light be coming into existence, and there was light." (Gen. 1:3)

The first thing God created was light. This light was physical light with both a visible and an invisible spectrum. This light was the basic building block of all physical creation. In the next verse, "God saw the light and proclaimed it as good." This means that light is divine good production - something that God did that had intrinsic value. God's production has intrinsic value, and we call it divine good. The light also divided the darkness; so here is a contrast between light and darkness. They are distinct, separate, not the same. Light stands out as divine good production.
So, from the beginning light was production which manifested the glory of the Creator. The light divided the darkness, but the light could not be divided. The light had a visible spectrum which consisted of seven colors. Each one of those colors was a part of the production of the light. The seven colors represent a complete category as deduced from the meaning of the number, seven, from the seven days of re-creation.
