Revelation 1:13-15

Revelation 1:13 and among the lampstands was someone "like a son of man," [Daniel 7:13] dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet and with a golden sash around his chest.

14 His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.

15 His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of rushing waters.

I.             One like a son of man

1.    This phrase also appears in Daniel 7:13 and 10:16.

2.    The phrase "Son of Man" is Jesus’ favorite self-designation.

Daniel 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.

3.    The phrase Son of Man appears 80 plus times in the New Testament.

Comparison

   Daniel also saw the same vision

Revelation 1:13b-16 Robe reached down to His feet Chest girded with a golden sash Head and hair white like wool, snow Eyes like flame of fire Feet like burnished bronze Voice like many waters Mouth give words like sword Face like sun shining in its strength

Daniel 10:5-6 Dressed in linen Waist girded with pure gold of Uphaz Face like lightning Eyes like flaming torches Arms and feet like polished bronze Words sound like roaring Body like beryl

Daniel	Revelation
Clothed in linen	Garment down to the foot
Girded with gold of Uphaz	Golden girdle
Eyes as lamps of fire	Eyes like flame of fire
Feet like polished brass	Feet like burning brass
Voice like a multitude	Voice as many waters
Body like Beryl	Hair as white as wool, white as snow
Face as lightening

II.           …dressed in a robe reaching down to his feet

We note that Jesus has on a ROBE is denoting royalty. If you read exodus chapter 39 we can understand the royalty. Isaiah also seeing the same vision.

  Isaiah 6:1 In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the train of his robe filled the temple.

III.          …and with a golden sash around his chest.

This represents the High Priest. They wore a golden girdle cf. Exodus 28:8

Exodus 28:8 And the skillfully woven band on it shall be made like it and be of one piece with it, of gold, blue and purple and scarlet yarns, and fine twined linen.

·        If you were the towel on vest it shows the your humbleness

·        If  you were the towel on shoulder it shows the your dignity and power

·        When Jesus was in this world He tied towel on his vest 

John 13:4 rose from supper. He laid aside his outer garments, and taking a towel, tied it around his waist.

John 13:6  Then cometh he to Simon Peter: and Peter saith unto him, Lord, dost thou wash my feet?

John 13:7 Jesus answered and said unto him, What I do thou knowest not now; but thou shalt know hereafter.

This means whatever tribulation I am going to face, How is am humble when they persecuting me in the same way the people will do to you all.

John 13:14 If I then, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet.

But in second coming as Lord of Lord and King of King at the same time He is the high priest of the church.

Jesus is our high priest under the order of Melchizedek

Heb. 5:10 "and was designated by God to be high priest in the order of Melchizedek." This golden girdle was worn by one of rank and greatness.

Who is Melchizedek?

Hebrews 7:1 For this Melchizedek, king of Salem, priest of the Most High God, met Abraham returning from the slaughter of the kings and blessed him,

The whole chapter Hebrews 7 talking about the Melchizedek and relation between the Jesus and Melchizedek also explained here.

IV.         …His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow,

Suggesting purity and ancient of days. Knowledge, wisdom and experience.

Dan 7-13 … he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.

V.          His eyes were like blazing fire. His eyes were like a flame of fire.

This clearly tells us Jesus is very anger, that’s why His eyes looks link that. He loves His church very much. But the church behavior was not His expected level so He looks very anger

Ephesus

Revelation 2:5 …..If not, I will come to you and remove your lampstand from its place, unless you repent.

Smyrna

Revelation 2:9

…the slander[1] of those who say that they are Jews and are not, but are a synagogue of Satan.

Pergamum

        Revelation 2:14 But I have a few things against you: you have some there who hold the teaching of Balaam, who taught Balak to put a stumbling block before the sons of Israel, so that they might eat food sacrificed to idols and practice sexual immorality.

From this what we can understand  is He sees all before his penetrating eyes.

Nothing in all creation is hidden from God's sight Everything is uncovered and laid bare before the eyes of him to whom we must give account.

Heb. 4:13 "Neither is there any creature that is not manifest in his sight but all things are naked and opened unto the EYES OF HIM with whom we have to do."
