Revelation 1:14
_ _ — Greek, “But,” or “And.”
_ _ like wool — Greek, “like white wool.” The color is the point of comparison; signifying purity and glory. (So in Isaiah 1:18). Not age, for hoary hairs are the sign of decay.
_ _ eyes ... as ... flame — all-searching and penetrating like fire: at the same time, also, implying consuming indignation against sin, especially at His coming “in flaming fire, taking vengeance” on all the ungodly, which is confirmed as the meaning here, by Revelation 19:11, Revelation 19:12. |
Revelation 1:14
His head and his hair — That is, the hair of his head, not his whole head. Were white as white wool — Like the Ancient of Days, represented in Daniel's vision, Daniel 7:9. Wool is commonly supposed to be an emblem of eternity. As snow — Betokening his spotless purity. And his eyes as a flame of fire — Piercing through all things; a token of his omniscience. |
- and his hairs:
Daniel 7:9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment [was] white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne [was like] the fiery flame, [and] his wheels [as] burning fire.
Matthew 28:3 His countenance was like lightning, and his raiment white as snow:
|
- and his eyes:
Revelation 2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet [are] like fine brass;
Revelation 19:12 His eyes [were] as a flame of fire, and on his head [were] many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
Daniel 10:6 His body also [was] like the beryl, and his face as the appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
