Christ Appearance » His personal appearance figuratively described
I beheld till the thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and its wheels as burning fire.
You are fairer than the children of men: grace is poured into your lips: therefore God has blessed you forever.
His mouth is most sweet: yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.
As many were astonished at you; so his appearance was so marred more than any man, and his form more than the sons of men:
For he shall grow up before him as a tender plant, and as a root out of a dry ground: he has no stately form nor splendor; and when we shall see him, there is no beauty that we should desire him.
And was transfigured before them: and his face did shine as the sun, and his clothing was white as the light.
His head and his hair were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
And he that sat was to look upon like a jasper and a carnelian stone: and there was a rainbow round about the throne, in appearance like unto an emerald.
