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;
His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow. That's in Daniel 7:9. It denotes purity.
And His eyes were as a flame of fire. That's found in Daniel 10:6. In fact, in Daniel 10:6, he has pretty much the same vision. He saw the same Christ, but his is scarier than John's. Daniel doesn't say flames of fire; he says His eyes were burning like torches.
Revelation 1:15 - And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters.
And His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace. Brass was used in the Old Testament for the altars. And where all the sacrifices, and where God's judgment was to be poured out, it was to be made of brass. That's found in Exodus 38:1-7. His feet for judgment!
And His voice as the sound of many waters, taken from Ezekiel 43:2. He sounded like a trumpet when He started. Now He sounds like many waters, that deep sound like the waves coming up and crashing onto the rocks, and here is this deep voice now speaking like the sound of many waters.
10 He was in the world, and the world was made by him, and the world knew him not.
11 He came unto his own, and his own received him not.
12 But as many as received him, to them gave he power to become the sons of God, even to them that believe on his name:
13 Which were born, not of blood, nor of the will of the flesh, nor of the will of man, but of God.
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.
GOD to shine HIS face gloriously on all who love and look forward to HIS coming!
This Chapter continues with describing what Bezalel and his assistant, Aholiab, made for the tablernacle.
It also speaks of the total amounts of gold, silver, and bronze used to create these items. I do not know how much a talent or bekah is. But I think that the total amounts were probably a large and costly amount.
I know that the tabernacle and all of the furnishings are representations of what is in heaven. And I do believe that whet is in heaven is outstandingly glorious. So, perhaps that is why God had the earthly tabernacle be so elaborate and costly. Even so, perhaps He also wanted the Israelites to invest these very valuable metals in Him, and not hold on to them for monetary security. Their treasure was now invested in God and they will come to know Him as their priceless treasure. The costliness of these furnishings pale in comparison to the value of God.
