Revelation 1:13-16

1 min read · Chapter 254 of 267

The seven candlesticks made of gold represent the seven churches mentioned in verse 11.
The Son of Man is the Lord as Judge; to Him all judgment is committed (John 5:22, 27; Acts 17:31).
“Clothed with a garment down to the foot," is priestly discrimination (Lev. 13:2, etc.; also Luke 17:14).
“Girt about the paps [breast] with a golden girdle"—His affections can only flow out in Divine righteousness: the breast, the place of affection; the gold, Divine righteousness.
“His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow"; this is the Ancient of days, the great "I Am " (Dan. 7:13, 22).
“His eyes were as a flame of fire," from which nothing can be hid, searching out and uncovering all sin and iniquity.
“His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace"—His ability to judge everything according to Divine righteousness.
“His voice as the sound of many waters"—irresistible power and majesty.
“He had in His right hand seven stars" the authority belongs to Him. The stars are subordinate authority.
“Out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword"—He judges by the Word of God.
“His countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength"—supreme power and authority.
