Revelation 1:15

Rev 1:15 "And his feet like unto fine brass,as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. (KJV)




In the Old Testament, brass is a symbol of judgment, i.e. the brazen altar before the tabernacle which the fire of God's judgment was burning.  Brass can withstand fire.  We read it is His feet that are like brass.  This would be because His ways are always righteous.  Things that are unholy will be "stamped out" with judgment.  The brass may also stand for strength, being a strong metal, and comparing it with the steadfastness of our God.  


If you have ever heard the ocean, or a class 5 rapid,  you understand the "voice as the sound of many waters".  You know the power and the sound of the water.  It is the hearing of His voice, and believing in His word that you have life!  There are ways to describe the voice of God, this is one, another is the gentle whisper.  In the context of the book of Revelation and it's meaning, the booming sound of a powerful, oceanic, strong voice would seem to warn that judgment is coming and that mighty voice will be calling His children home.


Will be going a faster, thank you for you continued following.
