Revelation 1:15 Context
12And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks; 13And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. 14His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; 15And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters. 16And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength. 17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.

So no shoes and the heat on the skin well turn yellowish toned skin "glow "...lambs were out in the wild so not washed to a bleaching white like we see on cartoons..also wavy curly hair and soft. Eyes like fire could mean copperish gold my father had this and looks very much like fire in the sun , hazel even.

With that wavy soft bleachy Brown hair....just saying...not to goo to extremes...The brass put to glow in the fire well give you a reddish orange brown kind of life your skin turns when you walk barefoot onto hot concrete on a summer day trying to get to the pool he heFlag

5 years AgoBooker for verse 15I don't think this has anything to do with Christ's ethnicity. This was a christ I believe in his natural state, other than the way he looked while walking here on earth. It's to the description of christ during the transfiguration in Matthew. His face shown like the sun, eyes were like fire, his feet were like bronze that was made to glow in a fire. I believe this was Jesus in his natural state as he would have looked in his world, heaven. After the transfiguration, Jesus went back do looking like a normal man. No mention what his ethnicity or what he looked like.Flag
