Nobody would have seen blue during the Purple Dawn. 'If the wankers do not now come to their senses and clean up their stupid act, they may anticipate a rain of ruin from the sky, the like of which has never been seen on this Earth,,,' |

Quoting: Doctor Congo I know that the best blue paint needed lapis lazuli, a very expensive material, not used much. That video is bogus and to assert that the ancient Greeks could not see Bue is simply proposterous. It's also not true that Lapis Lazuli wasn't used much; it was actually used extensively in ancient Egypt in not only jewelry but also paint pigments used to cover tomb walls; and for that matter the Greeks and Romans used it as well. Want proof? Just take a look at the existing original murals from Pompeii. Further, blue pigments were also extracted from sand along the beaches of the Red Sea. These were turned into the exquisite Roman blue glass that was so highly prized. So prized that it too was made into jewelry, primarily beads. A have a small string of them in my collection of Roman antiquities. |

Giving me bad karma for that, is anti-religious (you're passing judgement) I am just a man. Of no significance. Who found religion to be full of lies, and wrong doing, conflicted teachings I understand microwave communications. I do not stand for the NWO, it sucks. |

They didn't use an abstract color-word for it, but they probably experienced the blue color of sapphire the same as we do. Or maybe they couldn't see it but we can, since God wrote that text that we read in Exodus. Last Edited by oniongrass on 04/07/2021 10:33 PM .

But they would certainly perceive the difference between day (blue sky) and night (black sky). That's about the most basic difference there is, and they certainly knew the difference between their experiences of day and night. .

User ID: 80222322 United Kingdom 04/08/2021 02:53 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I expect blue was made later when we started using chemicals to dry rather than animals or plant life . Around 1800 green was popular on walls until they discovered that the arsenic in the colouring was killing people .They say that is what killed Napoleon ...but who knows for sure ? In the renaissance they had blue paints for their pictures . Think I will go and look it up. |

Before that... The first occurrence of the rainbow in the Bible was after the Flood, “I set My rainbow in the cloud, and it shall be for the sign of the covenant between Me and the earth. It shall be, when I bring a cloud over the earth, that the rainbow shall be seen in the cloud; and I will remember My covenant which is between Me and you and every living creature of all flesh; the waters shall never again become a flood to destroy all flesh. The rainbow shall be in the cloud, and I will look on it to remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth” (Genesis 9.13–16). Romans 14:11 It is written: “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God.

User ID: 70624271 United States 04/08/2021 03:02 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Here's an easy way to remember the rainbow colors and their order: Just remember this: ROY G BIV. The letters stand for the first letter of each color. R is for red. O is for orange. Y is for yellow. G is for green. B is for blue. I is for indigo. V is for violet. Rainbows appear in seven colors because water droplets break white sunlight into the seven colors of the spectrum (red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, violet). You can only see a rainbow if the Sun is behind you and the rain in front. Romans 14:11 It is written: “‘As surely as I live,’ says the Lord, ‘every knee will bow before me; every tongue will acknowledge God. Revelation 20:15 Anyone whose name was not found written in the book of life was thrown into the lake of fire. |
