revelation 1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;

revelation 1:14 And His head and His hair were white like white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire;

14.--Greek, "But," or "And."
like wool--Greek, "like white wool." The color is the point of comparison; signifying purity and glory. (So in Isa 1:18). Not age, for hoary hairs are the sign of decay.
eyes . . . as . . . flame--all-searching and penetrating like fire: at the same time, also, implying consuming indignation against sin, especially at His coming "in flaming fire, taking vengeance" on all the ungodly, which is confirmed as the meaning here, by Re 19:11, 12.

revelation 1:14 And His head and His hair were white like white wool, like snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire;
