ISB ~ Revelation 1 v12 - 17

The inaugural vision of Revelation. Borrowing 1 images from Ezekiel and Daniel, it describes Jesus in both divine and human terms.

• His hair is white like that of the Lord, the Ancient of Days (Dan 7:9), and his voice is like the rumbling of God’s glory when it draws near (Ezek 43:2). His appearance also resembles a man (Dan 7:13) whose eyes are torches and whose feet gleam like bronze fired in a furnace (Dan 10:6). John, like the prophets before him, falls prostrate before the exalted Lord (Rev 1:17; Ezek 1:28; 44:4; Dan 10:9).
