What hints of mystery are woven in the very fabric of the Bible? From ‘swaddling clothes’ for a newborn Messiah… to ‘grave clothes’ in an empty tomb. What’s more, when metaphor is not steeped in ancient Middle Eastern culture, do we still catch their meaning? Consider colour, to which there is more than just aesthetics; scarlet thread tied around a first-born twin, a scarlet cord out a window, and scarlet woven into temple curtains.
