Christ Appearance » His personal appearance figuratively described
"I kept on watching until the Ancient of Days was seated. His clothes were white, like snow, and the hair on his head was like pure wool. His throne burned with flaming fire, and its wheels burned with fire.
You are the most handsome of Adam's descendants; grace has anointed your lips; therefore God has blessed you forever.
His mouth is sweetness, and all of him is desirable. This is my beloved, this is my friend, young women of Jerusalem!
Just as many were astonished at you so was he marred in his appearance, more than any human, and his form beyond that of human semblance
For he grew up before him like a tender plant, and like a root out of a dry ground; he had no form and he had no majesty that we should look at him, and there is no attractiveness that we should desire him.
His appearance was changed in front of them, his face shone like the sun, and his clothes became as white as light.
His head and his hair were white like wool, in fact, as white as snow. His eyes were like flames of fire,
The person sitting there looked like jasper and carnelian, and there was a rainbow around the throne that looked like an emerald.

Gather for the great supper of God. Eat the flesh of kings, the flesh of commanders, the flesh of warriors, the flesh of horses and their riders, and the flesh of all people, both free and slaves, both unimportant and important."
