Can someone elaborate on the spiritual significance of the coat of many colors.
Beyond any contextual understanding, nothing. The main reason I asked the question is , As I was reading Rays material he responded to someone about a "stupid" question, and he said "I will not even tell you what the spiritual significance of the coat of many colors is" but it was unrelated to the guys question. However it made me wonder, hmmm what is Ray talking about.
Ray actually replied to this email. Thanks Ray, here was his reply to my question,

Ray,
Thank you for sharing with the world. I as well believe what you do. I have a question, from one believer to another, What was the spiritual significance of the " coat of many colors that joseph recieved from his father"
Thank you,
Marshall
The robe of many colors significes Jacob's pride in his son Joseph. It would STAND OUT wherever he went. Likewise, God has given us a coat of many colors--marvelous truths of His Word and His purpose. We are not to put that coat in the closet, but wear it, so as a light set on a hill, cannot be hid, but gives light (spiritual light) to all who come close to it.
God be with you,
Ray
