In 1st Kings 6:22 we read how Solomon overlaid the temple in pure gold. This fact is highly significant because now “we” are the temple of YHVH on the earth. We are the spiritual image of the physical structure. The key to understanding this is the point where science and Torah converge. Gold only “appears” gold to the human eye. In reality the color is nothing more than the absorption of techelet blue (which is in the tzitzit) and a reflection of all the other colors of the light spectrum. Put another way, when we see “gold”, what we are really seeing is a piece of metal that is reflecting all the colors of the light spectrum except for the one color blue, which is absorbed. Our garments could quite literally be these human bodies that are supposed to reflect the Temple above not made with human hands.

Consequently, when we wear the tzitzit on our “human garments” (our bodies) we are a walking representation of the Holy Temple of gold. In the kabbalistic teachings it is said that Yeshua is likened unto gold. It is also well known that the blue thread that is in the tzitzit stands for Yeshua. The temple of YHVH and the temple of our bodies both stand as a monument to the testimony of the Torah lifestyle and it’s Kingdom. Now we can see why we were instructed to wear the color blue in the tzitzit as opposed to another color. We are walking temples reflecting constant light, appearing as the gold that YHVH’S temple is covered with. Is it by accident that the color blue stands for kingship and gold is for Godliness? Maybe this is the basis for the old saying, “you are worth your weight in gold”. Let’s make sure our daily walk reflects just what we are, the golden temples of YHVH who “are” worth their weight in gold!
