Revelation 1:14

“His head and [his] hairs [were] white like wool, as white as snow, etc.] In allusion to the white head and hairs of old men, said to be hoary, or like the hoar frost, and compared to an almond tree in bloom, (<211205>Ecclesiastes 12:5); and here to wool and snow for whiteness; (see <262718> Ezekiel 27:18); and according to the Jews f39, ˆbl rmx, “white wool”, is the wool of a lamb just born, about which a cloth is bound, that it may not be defiled; now these metaphors are expressive of the antiquity of Christ, who is the everlasting Father, and whose goings forth were of old, even from everlasting; and of his senile gravity and prudence, for with the Ancient is wisdom; he is the wisdom of…”

“1:14 White hair represents wisdom and maturity; this vision reflects Daniel’s vision of the Ancient One (Dan 7:9). • His eyes . . . like flames of fire pierce through pretense; the One who knows everything will judge everyone (see Dan 10:6; Heb 4:13).”

“and his hairs: Dan 7:9; Mat 28:3 and his eyes: Rev 2:18, Rev 19:12; Dan 10:6 Revelation 1:15”
