John
the apostle continued to share the “Revelation”
which
was given to him by Jesus Christ through an angel, and he told how
he, “was in
the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as
of a trumpet, Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last”,
and “being
turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks, and in the midst of the
seven candlesticks one
like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot,
and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and his
hairs were
white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were
as a flame of fire;”.
In chapter
one and verse fifteen of Revelation, John shared how he saw the Son
of Man who had, “feet
like unto fine brass” and
a “voice as
the sound of many waters” where
we read:
And
his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace;
and
his voice as the sound of many waters.
The
verse begins, “And his feet like unto fine brass, as if
they burned in a furnace;” John
began with the words, “and his feet”
which means “and the Son of Man's or Jesus' feet” “like
unto fine brass” or “resembled
or were like burnished copper or an alloy of copper or gold”, “as”
which means “like” “if they burned”
or “whether they were made to glow, full of fire, ignited and
kindled” “in a furnace”
which means “within a smelting or earthen ware”. John saw the
“feet” of “the
Son of Man or Jesus' and they were like “burnished copper” that
was “glowing” in a “kindling fire”.
The
verse continues, “and his voice as the sound of many
waters.” John added the words,
“and his voice” or
“and the Son of Man's or Jesus' sound, tone, language and tongue”
“as the sound”
which means “was like the sound, tone, language and tongue” “of
many waters” or “large
rivers, fountains, pools or waves of the sea”. When John heard “the
Son of Man's or Jesus'” “voice”,
it sounded like “rushing waters or waves of the sea”.
When
we meditate upon John's words in this verse, we continue to see and
hear how awesome the sight of Jesus was. His “feet” were
like unto “brilliant burnished copper” which is the symbol of
judgment, and His “voice” was so loud and blaring that it
was like “rushing waters”. Once again we imagine such a powerful
sight John the apostle experienced. God Almighty, in His infinite
wisdom, showed John the spiritual and supernatural sight of Jesus,
and even though John knew Him when He was on the earth, we have no
record of him ever seeing Jesus like this. God desires to have a
relationship with every person through His Son Jesus, and those who
“believe and trust” in Him shall be “saved”. This powerful
“voiced” One, who walks upon “feet” of justice,
is ready to extend His grace toward everyone who submits to Him, but
woe be to the one who faces His mighty power after resisting His
offer.
Next
time
John shares about the “Son of Man's”, “in
his right hand seven stars” and
“out
of his mouth went a sharp two-edged sword”,
so read ahead, and we shall join together then.
Until
tomorrow…there is more…
