(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
- 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 Rev 19:11, Rev 19:12.
