Revelation 1
I was having a read of this today and was a bit confused about verses 12 - 16.
12I turned around to see the voice that was speaking to me. And when I turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man,"[b]dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest. 14His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire. 15His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters. 16In his right hand he held seven stars, and out of his mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance.
It just seems like quite an odd image - his hair and head white, but his feet like bronze glowing in a furnace which would be red - in other translations I think it says as if burnt by the furnace which would be a darker colour. I mean, it doesn't matter what Jesus looks like but is this meant to be a literal description? ....... and the double edged sword coming out of his mouth..
I don't understand
Please help
God Bless
