The Head of the Son of Man

The Head of the Son of Man Revelation 1:14 Excerpt Ver. 14.— His head . From the garments of the great High Priest, St. John passes on to himself. What he had seen as a momentary foretaste of glory at the Transfiguration, he sees now as the abiding condition of the Christ. In Dan. 7:9 “the Ancient of days” has “the hair of his head like pure wool.” This snowy whiteness is partly the brightness of heavenly glory, partly the majesty of the hoary head. The Christ appears to St. John as a son of man, but also as a “Divine Person invested with the attributes of eternity.” As a flame of fire. “The Lord thy God is a consuming fire” (Deut. 4:24). “I the Lord search the heart, I try the reins” (Jer. 17:10). The flame purifies the conscience and kindles the affections.  More Spence-Jones, H. D. M., ed.  Revelation . London; New York: Funk & Wagnalls Company, 1909. Print. The Pulpit Commentary.
