Revelation 1:14-18, “His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.”
There is no description in the Holy Bible, (Old Testament or New) that describes just what exactly the Lord Jesus Christ looked like, when He walked the Earth as Man during His Earthly Ministry. The Book of Revelations does however give Us a glimpse, of How The Christ will look like in His second coming at the end of the Church Age. Revelation 1:14-18, describes His head and hair, “white like wool,”(Representing His Majesty and Authority) and having the eyes of “flame of fire,” ( which represents penetrating scrutiny and fierce judgment.) The Second Coming of Jesus Christ will be of Judgement. A Blessing for all who have believed in the finished work that He accomplished at the Cross in the years past. This Coming unlike the First as the Lamb, will be as a lion to finally do away with Satan, and His Fallen Angels and those who follow Him in acts of sin. “And His feet like unto fine brass,” (signifies the Humanity of Jesus although glorified now) and having the voice of “many waters,” (the voice of power.) The Lord will return with all Glory and power that He arose with 2,ooo years ago to pass Judgement, and usher in the New Kingdom Age. John the Revelator fell at the feet of Jesus “as if dead,” due to the authority at which the very presence will have comforting those who have waited so long to be in His presence. Signifying to those who never Believed that Jesus Christ is Lord! We find that comfort in verse 18, which states “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.” Christ is stating here that He lives, and will never die again and brings with Him also life. Though He was dead, entered into death (Our death) and finished the sacrifice for all sin and was risen by God and death now is totally defeated! Through Faith in the work of the Cross we entered into this death Spiritually and can now also be alive just as Jesus now is. (Romans 6:3-5) Jesus now has the keys to Hell and Death, and the right now to pass Judgement on all who still carry sin and the separation from God. I pray that all will do their part to spread the Good News of the Cross of Christ to all, Who have ears to hear the Gospel of Christ and Eternal Life…Shalom.
