So I know some would not approve of this thread or questions it presents but I am making this thread for help understanding certain things I have noticed about myself and if there is any biblical meaning or purpose to them.
I know there are plenty of teachings about colors in dreams but they are way to widely diverse in their purpose and meaning and this isn't for dreams more like why and how they seem to resonate to me
I apologize for making a thread about me but I also do hope some helpful biblical comments might help others who might wonder the same things. and again I want to clarify scriptural biblical meaning and purpose not interpretations.

I have a hard time reading the bible due to my eyes being sown shut by 60% but more than that I think it would be more wise to recieve insight from more knowledgeable and wise believers.

So to begin with colors my favorite color is black but only because it seems to look good with pretty much every other color it is appearance only it doesn't resonate with me. But when I see the color blue like a blue blie or say I see eyes on an anime show with a shining blue kind of hue I don't know why but these things seem to resonate with me I somehow feel God in them and then there is the elements such as wind fire water earth you know the basic four elements something about wind and fire also seem to do this with me even when I am just on my walks talking with God just enjoying being in his presence when there is a sudden out of nowhere stirring of the wind my body just stops without me thinking as if something profound or a presence of some sort is felt from it.

I have often wondered why these things are the way they are with me and why all of those things in particular. Is there an actual meaning to it or am I just seeing something that isn't there?

Since all of creation sings the praises of God, showing the invisible Creator, maybe you’re seeing His majesty through His work?

You can probably take any object and in some way, find a way to relate it to the Lord in praise.

The very fact that anything exists at all, instead of nothing, is a thought that I pondered in my youth. I would look up into the sky and get this feeling of bewilderment, and awe like “there’s something more.” I would think, “Why does anything exist at all, including God?” That question would truly exasperate that feeling of awe.

Existence itself is bizarre.

This happens to me as well when I look up to the sky it is amazingly profound. I don't know if this would help the topic at all but I do walk in the gift of a seer if you know what that is. If not a seer is a kind of prophetic walk where you consisntantly see things in the spiritual realm you have a different set of eyes.
Some are more of dreamers but others like me are prone to spiritual encounters and seeing vision type things. I don't recieve full on visions where you experience the feeling of the vision happening that happened to me once when I encountered an angel and saw the rapture for the first time but not since then.

What I experience instead is like an imagery playing out like a movie, when I talk on here the things I speak of often times play out in what I call my minds eye or perhaps spiritual eyes would make more sense.
I can describe things like hevaen the apocalypse hell even just simple things like Jesus smiling and I can sense what he is feeling and describe it as I see it, in my poems eveerything he leads me to write I see play out in this sight in great detail as I write it.

If perhaps me being a seer has something to do with why and how I resonate with these things that would make sense I suppose but I have no clue to the meaning of them

God instructed the Israelites to adorn the tabernacle with certain colors, Blue, Scarlet, Purple, these probably have multiple reasons why, interesting how the alter was only to be covered with purple.

One thing we should realise more and more is that when God speaks and gives instruction, each word would have so much purpose and meaning. The examples you give resonate with that. Why those colours? It would have to be so much more than 'because I like them' or 'because it would look good'.
We can be shallow in that kind of thought (in comparison to His depth) but I don't think He is.
That's my thought for the day :censored:

Yes indeed I agree I don’t think it was just for looks, that had a purpose.

In my opinion which probably is the only one out there haha, the Roman soldiers of Herod and Pilate where not unaware of the colors used within the temple thus I do believe they used them to mock him.

Well as afar as I know purple would represent royalty or a king scarlet could represent the blood that was shed by Jesus as for blue no idea, but the idea is that it was kind of a prophetic thing for the tabernacle

Blue is intriguing, maybe resembles the sea, and the sea resembles the heavens, and the heavens resemble Throne of Glory,

the one who walked on the blue water.

That is good however everyone makes different points, in a good way but also in a bad way, people can cause confusion. Maybe you could watch videos on the bible, as you can hear. Take advantage of your hearing. Good luck.
