In the Power Band Witnessing Bracelet and the Jelly Bean Prayer The Color yellow represents Heaven and the sun. (See below)
Yellow: Represents heaven and glory with Christ!
Now I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. Also there was no more sea. Then I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God. – Revelation 21:1-3
YELLOW – Yellow is for the sun so bright.
You know the son so bright, did you know that in Heaven we won’t need the sun that we have the light up the place. We will have the Son, Jesus Christ, He is the light!
Number of times used in the Bible
So I used biblegateway.com to look up how many times the word “Yellow” is used in the Bible. Below is the number of times.
New King James Version (NKJV) – 5 times
King James Version (KJV) – 4 times
New International Version (NIV) – 4 times
Holman Christian Standard Bible (HCSB) – 4 times
English Standard Version (ESV) – 3 times
All the translations listed above use the word “Yellow” around the same amount of times. The color or word was not used that many times either. So I figured I would share the five that the New King James Version (NKJV) showed.
Most of it talked about the color of hair, feathers and even mane. One even talked about gold.
Usage of Yellow in the Bible
And on the seventh day the priest shall examine the sore; and indeed if the scale has not spread, and there is no yellow hair in it, and the scale does not appear deeper than the skin,
then the priest shall examine him; and indeed if the scale has spread over the skin, the priest need not seek for yellow hair. He is unclean.
Though you lie down among the sheepfolds, You will be like the wings of a dove covered with silver, And her feathers with yellow gold.”
And thus I saw the horses in the vision: those who sat on them had breastplates of fiery red, hyacinth blue, and sulfur yellow; and the heads of the horses were like the heads of lions; and out of their mouths came fire, smoke, and brimstone.
