Revelation 1:15
Compare all
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.  
19 Write the things which you have aseen, band the things which are, cand the things which will take place after this.

Revelation 1:15

fine brass—Greek, "chalcolibanus," derived by some from two Greek words, "brass" and "frankincense"; derived by BOCHART from Greek, "chalcos," "brass," and Hebrew, "libbeen," "to whiten"; hence, "brass," which in the furnace has reached a white heat. Thus it answers to "burnished (flashing, or glowing) brass," Ezekiel 1:7; Revelation 10:1, "His feet as pillars of fire." Translate, "Glowing brass, as if they had been made fiery (red-hot) in a furnace." The feet of the priests were bare in ministering in the sanctuary. So our great High Priest here.

voice as . . . many waters— (Ezekiel 43:2); in Daniel 10:6, it is "like the voice of a multitude." As the Bridegroom's voice, so the bride's, Revelation 14:2; Revelation 19:6; Ezekiel 1:24, the cherubim, or redeemed creation. His voice, however, is here regarded in its terribleness to His foes. Contrast Song of Solomon 2:8; Song of Solomon 5:2, with which compare Revelation 3:20.
