What did the four colors on the tabernacle gate curtain represent?
The gate curtain’s four colors depicted Christ: blue represented His heavenly origin, purple His royalty, red His sacrifice, and pure white His righteousness and holiness. This curtain formed the gate, and Scripture identifies the gate or door to the sheepfold as Christ.
Les teaches that the tabernacle gate curtain was made of fine linen, but not white, and was comprised of the four colors shown throughout the tabernacle, all depicting Christ. Blue speaks of His heavenly origin, purple of His royalty, red of His sacrifice, and pure white of His righteousness and holiness. Because this curtain was the gate, and Christ is the door to the sheepfold, the gate curtain pictured Christ Himself.
