In the amazing book of Revelation—at the very end of how Christian scripture came to be collected into its present form—everything, literally everything, is a symbol. Numbers (whole numbers and fractions) are symbols, props (candlesticks, scrolls for example) are symbols, and so are colors.

There are two greens used by the seer John who wrote this great drama titled Unveiling (Revelation) while he was imprisoned by ghastly Emperor Domitian for refusing to stop speaking truth. Pale green (chloros) symbolizes death; lush green (think emerald, smaragdino /smaragdinos), in contrast, symbolizes life. Life emanates from the throne of God Godself.

Greener pastors are all about life in their homes, vehicles, and pulpits.
