This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





By



thrones cast down must be meant the kingdoms of this world, destroyed by Christ the King and Judge of all, called the Ancient of days, because of his eternal Deity;



without beginning and end of days. Whose garment was white as snow; thus kings’ viceroys were clothed, as Joseph in fine silk, Gen_41:42, and Mordecai, Est_8:15.



The hair of his head like the pure wool; see Rev_1:14; noting his innocence, and righteousness in judgment, Isa_42:4.



His throne was like the fiery flame: this notes his majesty in judgment: see Psa_1:3,4 Mal 4:1 Rev_19:11,12.



His wheels as burning fire; arguing the greatest and most formidable state of the last Judge and judgment; alluding to the kings who had movable thrones, which had wheels: it notes also God’s swiftness in judgment, Mal_3:5.
