ACC ~ Revelation 1 v16b
THE SON DIED AND ROSE AGAIN. VICTORINUS OF PETOVIUM: βThe brightness of the sun was in his face.β His face was his appearance by which he conversed with man face to face. For, although the glory of the sun is less than the glory of the Lord, yet because of the rising and setting [of the sun] and its rising again, the Scripture says that his face was like the glory of the sun, because he was born and suffered and rose again. COMMENTARY ON THE APOCALYPSE 1.3
THE CHURCH WILL SHINE AS THE SUN. BEDE: As he appeared to his disciples on the mountain, so will the Lord appear after the judgment to all the saints. For at the judgment the impious will see him whom they pierced. And this circumstance concerning the Son of man is true also of the church, with whom Christ himself was made one nature, since he gives to her the priestly honor and the power to judge that she also might shine as the sun in the kingdom of his Father.
