Observations about Revelation as a Whole
Jesus Description - vv. 14-16
And His head and His hair were like white wool, like snow;
And His eyes were like a flame of fire;
And His feet like burnished bronze, when it has been caused to glow in a furnace;
And His voice like the sound of many waters;
And in His right hand He held seven stars;
And out of His mouth came a sharp two-edged sword;
And His face was like the sun shines in its strength.
