Revelation 1:13 (the remainder of) & 14

Rev 1:13...clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle."

The garment mentioned is down to the foot, not a short knee length.  The length here is significant, it is the length of priestly garments.  the Jews see this length of robe as a high priest with full access to God.

The girdle is signifies service.  Our Lord Jesus remains in service to us while at the right hand of God.  He continues to save us, give us strength, make intersession for us, He is our physician, and our way that we can go boldly in the throne room of grace. Plus much, much more if we will only accept Him.
In Daniel 10:5, Daniel tell of the girt of gold as being on a messenger from God.  This will apply here as well, Christ will be our messenger from God of events yet to come.  The gold informs us this is a man of royalty, a King, being righteous and holy.

Rev 1:14 "His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;"

Daniel 7:9 uses this description as the Ancient of Days.  This being Jesus in Rev. Chapter 1, the like wool white hair would signify the eternal existence of Christ.  the fact there is an additional description "as white as snow" would signify the purity of Christ, the sinlessness.

Rev 1:14 ..."and his eyes were as a flame of fire;"
There are many mentions of Christ's eyes in the new testament, and how they were eyes that you couldn't forget.  Mark 3:34; 10:23: 11:11, Luke 22:61 are examples of the mentioning of His eyes.


Christ is still in our service as we should be in service for Him.  He is always there for us and always watching.


Until next time,
Blessings to all!
