by Ghan , are not our true colors.
This i part of th deception, and
indeed a horrible mistake th t is Iso
contributing to our spiritual and
economic decline.
Being � piritu By receptive
people, we must at all times be aware
of the thin we do. e are GOD's
chosen people those of men. Thi i
our major problem.
Now let's 100 at the children of
Israel. They were the most powerful
people, when tbeyobeyed tbe God of
our Father Israel, and when they <lid
not worship any other god. Let'
read how God gave our colors that
were stolen from us. .
Our colors are RED, WHITE,
BLUE and PURPLE. The Romans
were the first to steal the color �of
suprema�, purp . 'This became the
color of the emperors and the color
of Rome. Next it was King James,
who studied the arks otour Fathers
(the children of Israel). He wanted"
o much to learn about spiritual
powe . He as very smart King
an academic and scholar; he wanted
mystical knowledge.
James too reign somewhere in
1603. Soon after, in 1606, he or­
dered the flag of red, white and blue
from the scriptures - our scriptures.
Since Rome had the purple, he must
have thought I'll take the res and
the rest is history. He ordered the
Bible to be published in 1611.
In 1777, the United States did the
same thing. you think again about
these facts. They all speak for them­
selves, bearing in mind, it was a
spiri tual representative of the ams­
tian faith, the Rev. Mr. Ezra Stiles,
The Truth, The Lie, And The
Bible" -A guide for the House of
I srael; Q people lost in t� wilderness
of the Americans.
ACCOrding to history taken from
the New World of Knowledge, p.
225, "Before cloth flags tarted,
Egypt, Israel and Syria used metal
standards cended on pole with
animals or birds painted on it. This
was used to identify friend or foe in
battle" - their symbol of identifica­
tion. In the days when Egypt was
militarily and economically strong,
colors had. to be elf spiritual impor­
tance for prosperity and might.
Men wore certain Colors for cer­
tain events. They wore colors for
birth, for death, colors for prosperity,
COIOIS for uprem cy in battle, colors
, for love and colors identifying their
spirituality.
Most people do not understand
the impor1aDCe of color. There are
colors for babes in spiritually, colors
for their Elders, their Priests and
their Prophets.
This is the way it has been
through the generations. Today we
look at the issue of color, only in
terms of skin-color. If we do get past
this, we turn to the colors of today's
Africa, wbicb started sometime in
the mid�19th century, when this new
Ethiopia come into being under
Mcnelik 11; who ruled from 1844-
1913 and built the new capital Addis
Ababa.

What' upcoming

Soon and very soon is when
Andrae Crouch says he will have
some new product in the
marketplace. As to whether or not
you can expect that familiar
Crouch sound, Crouch says,
" Andrae Crouch is never the same
sound. The name Andrae Crouch
means you never know what to
expect. " In the meantime, say a
little prayer for Andrae' mom,
who has been seriously ill for
some time 1lO\y. but is still praising
the Lord.

The land of Israel today, tbat got

Africa, and th colors of the damned

while you are sinking lower, and
lower in a state of hopelessness.
This is the same way you make 13
your bad luck number, and hout
every Sunday how you love Jesus. If
He had 12 disciples, what was His
number? What is 12 + 1 = ?
If there is any common sense or
logic in what I'm trying to say, you
will cease from using the colors of
destruction for which you feel so at­

tbat linen means plain white cloth.
SCarlet means red, and gold here is
not a color, but the mineral itself, as
explained in Exodus 39:24-25.
It And they made upon the, hems of
the robe, pomegranates of blue, and
purple, and scarlet, and twined linen.
And they made bells of pure gold."
Again it says in Exodus 28:6: "And
they shall make the ephod of gold, of
blue, and of purple, of scarlet, and of
twined linen. .. -
Jesus wore a RED robe with a

o
WHITE undershirt, and it w the
custom of an Israeli to put BLUE
at the earn in their undergarments.
As you read in Numbers 15:38:
"Speak unto th children of Israel,
and bid them that make them fringes
in the borders of their garments
throughout their generations and th t
they put upon the fringe of the bor­
ders RlBBAND OF BLUE."
When they tripped Him, they put
on Him the purple, that was now
being used by the Roman leaders, so
as to mock Him. Read John 19:1-2:
"Then Pilate therefOIe too Jesus and
courged Him. And the soldiers
platted a crown of thorns and put it
on His head and they put on Him
PURPLE robe."
You will also read inMar 15:17-
20:· when y balb mocIced
Him they took off the PURPLE from
him and put his own clothes on
Him." And what His robe?
You'll find it in Matt. 27:28: "Then
the soldiers of governors took Jesus
into the common hill, and gathered
unto him the whole band of soldiers,
and they stripped Him and put on
Him and put Him a SCARLET
ROBE."
Now, common sense will tell you
that He did not have on one simple
.robe only. JESUS WORE RED,
WHITE, .AND BLUE. It is red,
mixed with blue that gives you
purple. What are you wearing?
