Revelation 1:14
Compare all
12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned aI saw seven golden lampstands,  
13 aand in the midst of the seven lampstands bOne like the Son of Man, cclothed with a garment down to the feet and dgirded about the chest with a golden band.  
14 His head and ahair were white like wool, as white as snow, and bHis eyes like a flame of fire;  
15 aHis feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and bHis voice as the sound of many waters;  
16 aHe had in His right hand seven stars, bout of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, cand His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength.  
17 And awhen I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But bHe laid His right hand on me, saying1 to me, “Do not be afraid; cI am the First and the Last.  
18 aI am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, bI am alive forevermore. Amen. And cI have the keys of Hades and of Death.

Revelation 1:14

As white wool (wv erion leukon). Erion (wool) in N.T. only here and Hebrews 9:19, though old word. The person of the Lord Jesus is here described in language largely from Daniel 7:9 (the Ancient of Days).

White as snow (wv xiwn). Just "as snow," also in Daniel 7:9. In N.T. only here and Matthew 28:3.

As a flame of fire (wv floc purov). In Daniel 7:9 the throne of the Ancient of Days is floc purov, while in Daniel 10:6 the eyes of the Ancient of Days are lampadev purov (lamps of fire). See also Revelation 2:18; Revelation 19:12 for this bold metaphor (like Hebrews 1:7).
