Woman was Arrayed in Purple and Scarlet

2.  And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: (Revelation 17:4) 

   We have come full circle in the woman arrayed in Purple. The last documentation of the word purple is in the book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ. (Revelation 17:4; 18:12 and 18:16) In Revelation 17:4 it is THE WOMAN who is arrayed in purple. In Revelation 18:12 it is THE MERCHANDISE of purple, and in Revelation 18:16 it is THAT GREAT CITY that is clothed in purple.

The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, (Revelation 18:12)

And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! (Revelation 18:16)

   A thief is an opportunist continually fine tuning his skills with one goal in mind and that is to succeed in his profession and to become known as the master of the art of thievery. Lucifer was the originator of thievery. His first attempt of thievery was to steal the Priesthood away from the High Priest of God, Melchisedec, but before he could achieve his goal, he had to first STEAL God’s supreme state of sovereignty over His angels. Lucifer first built an organization within the ranks of God’s order. We can call this the Shadow Government, or the Underground Government, or the Swamp Government in the realm of a Holy and Righteous Kingdom under the rule of a Holy and Righteous God. (Again, I will repeat, everything that is within the tangible realm FIRST began in the spiritual realm. The spiritual always PRECEDES the natural. Our realm of the visible, the material, the tangible, or the natural is not the PRIMARY realm. It is the supernatural spiritual realm that is PRIMARY over the material. The UNSEEN realm, (unseen by mankind) is the PRIMARY realm.) So, before time began and before God created man, and created a new world wherein His new creation of mankind would have a perfect setting to dwell in, there in the UNSEEN realm, an underground movement of rogue angels was fermenting behind the scenes to take over God’s holy realm to establish a realm where they would rule in power and sovereignty. How so human like or is it just the opposite that the evil imaginations of man are so like the rogue angels in timelessness. Those created angels either forgot or they refused to accept that they had been created by A CREATOR. How so much like mankind they were . . .oops . . . how so much like deceptive angels is mankind. We, as they, although of different natures (one difference being that angels cannot die, and man can), are so closely linked together in denying that our Creator God has unlimited power and sovereignty. How did Lucifer influence angels to follow him? Lucifer used with mankind the same techniques that worked with the angels that rebelled against God. First, Lucifer denied the words of God, Yea, hath God said? Next, Lucifer implanted a false idea into their minds, ye shall be as gods. Then he used the one thing that most probably sealed their commitment to him, Ye shall not surely die. (They believed that they had nothing to lose. Their rebellion was not punishable.) They erroneously swallowed this falsehood knowing that they were created unable to die, not understanding that disobedience has consequences, and although they could not die God had other means at His disposal that would equal death for the deathless. God didn’t accidentally or in error create angels unable to die outside of His power and sovereignty over ALL of His creation.

   What has this all to do with the woman arrayed with purple, and the merchandise of purple and the great city clothed with purple? Summarily, the stealing of the purple of God may begin with one deception, but deception spreads and contaminates everything until an entire city is draped in the treachery of stealing the purple. The purple robes of God is the visibility and the understanding that GOD IS KING ETERNAL, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen. (1st Timothy 1:17) To attempt to usurp His power and His Sovereignty is stealing the PURPLE.
