Black and White

Black and white are two colors strongly present in esotericism and occultism. Thus, we frequently see occultists dressed in black and white. There's also the example of the black and white checkerboard we see on the floors of all Masonic lodges.

Black and white are natural complementary manifestations. White is light and black is the absence of light, white reflects and black absorbs.

The color white is associated with the Air element and represents light, understanding, spirituality and protection. White is also considered the color of innocence, purity, loyalty and peace. In the West, white garments and decorations symbolize the joy that surrounds births, baptisms and weddings.

The color black is associated with the water element and represents fire, higher knowledge, royalty and strength. In many traditions and religions, the color black stands for mystery, power, nobility, prestige and the darker side of human nature. Yet in many African and Asian customs, white is the traditional color of death and mourning.

According to the concept of yin and yang:

Yang represented by the color white is the masculine side of all things, and associated with that which is soft, warm, and dry. Yang is strongest during the day when the sun is shining.
Yin represented by the color black is the feminine side of all things, and is associated with that which is hard, cold, and wet. Yin takes over when its representative, the moon, comes out at night.

For occultists, black and white represent the duality of good and evil to symbolize the absence of absolute good, in other words, no one can be absolutely good. According to them, the knowledge of good and evil enables us to transcend the physical by attaining enlightenment or illumination and becoming like ELOHIM. They maintain that to find balance, light and darkness must be integrated into the same framework: “Everything is Dual; everything has poles; everything has its pair of opposites; like and unlike are the same; opposites are identical in nature, but different in degree; extremes meet; all truths are but half truths; all paradoxes may be reconciled.” |The Kybalion|

However, these two colors have an even deeper meaning. According to the Targum Jonathan and the Arab Abulpharaj, ELOHIM created Adam on the surface of the earth taking the dust of the sanctuary, the four elements, virgin red earth and a handful of soil of many different colors; and mixing it with various waters, He created the red man: black and white. |Abulpharaj. Arabe. Hist. Dyn., p5; Jonathan Gen 2|

Note that if you mix the colors red, black, and white, depending on the intensity of each color, you will get complexions ranging from very pale pink to very dark brown. For that reason, it is assumed that Adam the man made of dust and blood would most likely have had a mixed complexion neither white nor very dark, but due to his composition, his descendants could come into existence with complexions ranging from: very pale pink to very dark brown. Hence men have complexions in these colors.

Acts 17:26 "From one man He made every nation of men, that they should inhabit the whole earth."

In the Bible, fire (black) and light (white) symbolize the presence of ELOHIM. Revelation 1:15 is often cited as proof that YESHUA was black in the flesh, and while this is true, many do not discern that this passage, which is a vision of John, do not refer to his human physical appearance but rather to his heavenly or celestial aspect and reveals to us that just like Adam, in Christ there is the very existence of the duality of black and white: His head is pure white, while his feet are as black as obsidian.

Revelations 1:14-15 "His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace." *Fine brass refers to something that has burned, in other words the color black.

The same duality is repeated in the vision of Ezekiel where we are made to understand that from his head to his loins, his appearance reflects light like sparkles, surrounded by a dark glow. And from his loins to his feet, his appearance is dark but surrounded by light.

Ezekiel 8:1-2 "There the hand of the Lord GOD fell upon me. Then I looked and saw a figure like that of a man. From His waist down His appearance was like fire, and from His waist up He was as bright as the gleam of amber."
Ezekiel 1:27 "From what seemed to be His waist up, I saw a gleam like amber, with what looked like fire within it all around. And from what seemed to be His waist down, I saw what looked like fire; and brilliant light surrounded Him."

Ezekiel 1:27 in other Bible versions

The King James Bible 1611: "And I saw as the colour of amber, as the appearance of fire round about within it, from the appearance of his loins even upward, and from the appearance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had brightness round about."
NASB 1977: "Then I noticed from the appearance of His loins and upward something like glowing metal that looked like fire all around within it, and from the appearance of His loins and downward I saw something like fire; and there was a radiance around Him."
Holman Christian Standard Bible: "From what seemed to be His waist up, I saw a gleam like amber, with what looked like fire enclosing it all around. From what seemed to be His waist down, I also saw what looked like fire. There was a brilliant light all around Him."

It's important to keep in mind that, although ELOHIM has a glorious body which he revealed through the creation of Adam, he is first and foremost a spirit and he has not empowered the human eye to be able to see him, but we can feel and perceive his presence, and have the knowledge of His existence through manifestations and phenomena that science calls "forces of nature". Note that this ability to be both invisible and able to materialize is a hallmark of celestial beings.

2 Samuel 22:12-13 "He shrouded himself in darkness, veiling his approach with dense rain clouds. A great brightness shone around him, and burning coals blazed forth."
Psalm 18:11-12 And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: dark waters in the clouds of the air. At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.

You'll notice that wherever there's a huge blaze of fire, there will always be either an amber color or a trail of black smoke, white smoke or a mixture of both. Although natural materials, such as unfinished wood, will take on a brown or tan colored smoke, black smoke is often an indicator a man-made material is burning. But in colorism, esoterism and alchemy, fire is associated with the color black.

2 Samuel 22:12-13 "He shrouded himself in darkness, veiling his approach with dense rain clouds. A great brightness shone around him, and burning coals blazed forth."
Psalm 18:11-12 And he made darkness his covert, his pavilion round about him: dark waters in the clouds of the air. At the brightness that was before him the clouds passed, hail and coals of fire.

Note that this ability to be both invisible and able to materialize is a hallmark of celestial beings.

Knowing that Adam was created in the image of ELOHIM and there's a correlation between YESHUA and Adam, spiritually these verses help us understand that black and white are symbolic divine colors in the image of ELOHIM. For this reason alone, he who hates his neighbor because of the color of his skin commits a serious offense against his Creator.

James 2:9 "But if you show favoritism, you sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors."
Romans 2:11 "For there is no respect of persons with God."

Thus, when the world of darkness dresses in black and white, or uses these two colors complementarily on the floors of their lodges, temples and sanctuaries, it implies two things:

Either they are affirming Lucifer's satanic duality/duplicity.
Or they are subtly trampling ELOHIM under foot, by pretending to be as God.

May the Holy Spirit guide you in understanding this message..
