12 When I turned to see who was speaking to me, I saw seven gold lampstands. 13 And standing in the middle of the lampstands was someone like the Son of Man.[a] He was wearing a long robe with a gold sash across his chest. 14 His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow. And his eyes were like flames of fire. 15 His feet were like polished bronze refined in a furnace, and his voice thundered like mighty ocean waves.
Revelation 1:12-15
John turns to see the voice speaking to him and sees a menorah. In the midst of the golden lamp stands, John sees one like the Son of Man, Jesus Christ. As the menorah lit the temple, Christ illuminates the world with His glory. Clothed in a white robe, girded across the chest with a golden band.
His head and hair were white like wool (Daniel 7:9). His eyes like a flame of fire (Daniel 10:6) I could only imagine the intensity of his stare here. His feet like refined brass (bronze in Daniel) and His voice like many waters (multitude in Daniel). What a voice it must be to exude the power of many waters, flowing with eternal life!
I watched as thrones were put in place
and the Ancient One[a] sat down to judge.
His clothing was as white as snow,
his hair like purest wool.
He sat on a fiery throne
with wheels of blazing fire,Daniel 7:9
6 His body looked like a precious gem. His face flashed like lightning, and his eyes flamed like torches. His arms and feet shone like polished bronze, and his voice roared like a vast multitude of people.
Daniel 10:6
John stood witness to the glorified Christ. The broken and striped body is not mentioned here, for this is the Son of God as He appears at the right hand of the Father, seen in His glory with a light brighter and more intense than the sun.
