Les Feldick teaches that the tabernacle's four colors—blue, purple, scarlet, and white linen—are a picture of Christ and His work of the cross.
In the transcripts provided, Les never separately names the gate, but he describes the veil made of exactly these four colors as a picture of the body of Christ (Clip 3). He also states that every detail of the tabernacle is a picture of Christ and His finished work (Clip 0). Therefore, the colors of the gate, though not individually named in these clips, belong to the same Christ-centered symbolism.
Exodus 27:16 — This verse describes the gate of the court and names its four colors: blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen.
Exodus 26:36 — This verse shows the same four colors were used for the door of the tabernacle tent.
Exodus 36:35 — This verse records the veil made of the same colors, which Les directly connects to the body of Christ.
The gate of the court was commanded to be an hanging of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework (Exodus 27:16). The door of the tent itself was made the same way (Exodus 26:36), and the inner veil separating the Holy Place from the Most Holy was also woven of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen, with cherubim (Exodus 36:35). Scripture records these same four colors at the three entrances into the tabernacle—the outer gate, the tent door, and the veil. The text does not provide a separate interpretive key for each color; it simply shows that God deliberately prescribed the same colored materials for the entrances.
In the clip transcripts, Les approaches the tabernacle colors as part of the whole. He opens the discussion by saying that every detail of this whole tabernacle is a picture of Christ and His work of the cross (Clip 0). He applies this to the veil by calling it that which pictures the very body of Christ and noting that it was made of blue, purple, and scarlet, in fine twined linen (Clip 3). Les also emphasizes that the beauty of the colored sanctuary is only visible from the inside. He describes the pure white linen with the other colors running through it and the cherubim as beautiful beyond description (Clip 4), then compares it to the believer's position in Christ: from the outside, Christ has no beauty, but to the believer He is everything and beautiful (Clip 6). He further connects the tabernacle materials to Christ's humanity and deity by noting that the wood frame speaks of His flesh and the gold covering speaks of His deity (Clip 7), and he lists every object in the tabernacle—the high priest, the sacrifice, the laver, the table, the altar, the candlestick, and the ark—as a picture of Christ (Clip 5).
No. In the supplied clips, Les does not assign a separate symbolic meaning to each individual color. His emphasis is that the tabernacle's materials and colors as a whole are a picture of Christ. He explains that the ark's wood speaks of Christ's humanity and the gold of His deity (Clip 1), and that every object and material in the tabernacle points to Christ (Clip 5). The four colors are part of that same Christ-centered pattern.
Les says the tabernacle's pure white linen with the colors running through it, along with the cherubim, was beautiful beyond description (Clip 4). He compares that interior beauty to the believer's experience in Christ: from the outside, Christ has no beauty, but once we are inside Him, we see a beauty and loveliness the world knows nothing of (Clips 4 and 6).
The transcripts do not give a separate explanation for the gate, but they make clear that the gate, the door, and the veil all shared the same four-color pattern (Exodus 27:16; 26:36; 36:35, 37). In Les's teaching, this repetition is consistent with his statement that everything in that tabernacle is a picture of Christ and His finished work on the cross (Clips 1 and 5).
Every Detail Is a Picture of Christ
Les states that every detail of the tabernacle is a picture of Christ and His work of the cross, which is the overarching principle behind the gate's colors.
All of the Tabernacle Speaks of Christ
Les emphasizes that the Ark's wood and gold, along with the fence, hides, sacrifices, and priesthood, all speak of Christ's finished work.
Why Animal Blood Only Covered Sin — Leviticus 16 Explained
You and I, black and white, red and yellow, rich or poor. That was the priesthood of Melchizedek. And as such verse 11, "...Christ being come, a High Priest of good things to come, by a greater and more perfect tabernacle, not made with hands, that is to say, not of this creation, that one was in heaven.
The Veil's Colors
Les identifies the veil—woven with blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen—as a picture of the body of Christ, directly showing the Christ-centered meaning of these colors.
Beauty Seen from the Inside
Les describes the sanctuary's white linen with colored threads as beautiful beyond description and likens it to the beauty believers discover in Christ.
Every Material Speaks of Christ
Les lists every object and material in the tabernacle as a picture of the Lord Jesus and His work, reinforcing that the colored fabrics point to Christ.
Christ's Beauty to the Believer
Les says the fine linen woven with blue, purple, and scarlet was beautiful from the inside, just as Christ, who has no beauty from the outside, is everything to the believer.
Humanity and Deity in the Materials
Les connects the tabernacle's wood and gold to Christ's humanity and deity, showing that the same materials carry Christ-centered significance throughout.
Exodus 27:16: And for the gate of the court shall be an hanging of twenty cubits, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework: and their pillars shall be four, and their sockets four.
This is the direct description of the gate of the tabernacle court, showing the four colors God specified for the entrance.
Exodus 26:36: And thou shalt make an hanging for the door of the tent, of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, wrought with needlework.
The doorway into the tabernacle tent itself used the same four-color pattern as the gate.
Exodus 36:35: And he made a vail of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen: with cherubims made he it of cunning work.
This veil, which Les says pictures the body of Christ, uses the exact same colors as the gate.
Exodus 36:37: And he made an hanging for the tabernacle door of blue, and purple, and scarlet, and fine twined linen, of needlework.
The completion of the tent door repeats the same four colors, showing the pattern was intentional.
In the clips provided, Les does not specifically discuss the gate, but he teaches that every detail of the tabernacle is a picture of Christ and His cross. The gate's colored curtain fits into that pattern.
In the surviving transcripts, Les does not assign separate meanings to blue, purple, scarlet, and white. His emphasis is that together the colors and materials of the tabernacle portray Christ.
Les says the veil woven of blue, purple, scarlet, and fine twined linen pictures the very body of Christ, and that the beauty of these colors is seen only from inside.
The main lesson is Christ-centered: every material and every color in the tabernacle points to the person and finished work of the Lord Jesus.
