启一14~15 祂的头与发皆白，如白羊毛、如雪，眼目如同火焰，脚好像在炉中锻炼过明亮的铜，声音如同众水的声音。

　　雅歌五章十一节描述祂的头发是黑的，表征祂那永不衰残、永远长存的力量，但〔启示录一章十四节〕这里所描绘基督的白发，是指明祂的亘古常在〔参伯十五10〕。

　　我们在〔启示录〕一章看见祂的头与发都是白的，好像白羊毛和雪一样。白羊毛是出于生命的性质，白雪是从天降下的。……白羊毛是基督性情的颜色。祂的古是出自祂的性情。雪之所以白，是因从天而来，没有属地的污秽或玷污。因此，在十四节和但以理七章九节的白羊毛，表征基督的亘古常在，乃是出于祂的性质，并非年纪老迈；白雪表征祂的亘古常在是属天的，不是属地的（启示录生命读经，一二三页）。

　　Rev. 1:14-15 And His head and hair were as white as white wool, as snow; and His eyes were like a flame of fire; and His feet were like shining bronze, as having been fired in a furnace; and His voice was like the sound of many waters.

　　The black hair with which the Lord is depicted in Song of Songs 5:11 signifies His unfading and everlasting strength, but the white hair with which He is depicted [in Revelation 1:14] signifies His ancientness [cf. Job 15:10].

　　In Revelation 1 we see that His head and His hair were as white as white wool and as snow. White wool issues from the nature of life, and white snow comes down from the sky, from heaven…White wool is the color of Christ’s nature. His ancientness is of His nature. Snow is white because it comes from heaven and contains no earthly dirt or stain. Hence, white wool, both here and in Daniel 7:9, signifies that the ancientness of Christ is of His nature, not out of His becoming old, whereas white snow signifies that His ancientness is heavenly, not earthly. (Life-study of Revelation, p. 98)

　　在雅歌五章十二节，基督的眼好像鸽子，为了表露祂的爱。在〔启示录一章十四节〕，“祂的……眼目如同火焰”，这是为着祂来鉴察并搜寻，使祂借着光照施行审判。……祂的眼不是两个，乃是七个（五6）；七是神行动中完整的数字。因此，在启示录祂的眼是为着神的工作。祂这七眼是“七盏火灯在宝座前点着，这七灯就是神的七灵”（四5，参但十6）。点着的火等于火焰，是为着鉴察并搜寻。神的七灵奉差遣往全地去（启五6），也是为着神在地上的行动。因此在启示录中，基督的眼就是神的七灵，为着神今天在地上的行动与工作。

　　基督的眼睛是为着注视、鉴察、搜寻、借光照而审判以及传输。我们必须经历祂眼睛各面的功用，特别是传输这一面。祂

　　的眼睛把祂一切的所是灌注到我们里面。……自从我们得救的那天，基督的眼睛就像烧着的火一样，光照并灌注我们。祂的眼睛也挑旺我们，使我们火热。……许多时候，主是以刺透人的眼睛临到我们。也许你要将某些事情对你的妻子隐瞒，这时候主发光的七眼就临到你，戳穿你的全人，暴露你真实的情形。我有过几百次这样的经历。当我正与别人争论，特别与我亲近的人争论时，主那发光的眼就临到我，叫我说不下去。祂的光照打住了我的说话。

　　启示录是一卷带有审判性质的书。火是为着神圣的审判（林前三13，来六8，十27）。“我们的神乃是烈火”（十二29）；祂的宝座乃是火焰，其轮乃是烈火，从祂面前有火河流出（但七9~10），这一切都是为着审判。主的眼目如同火焰，主要的是为着祂的审判（启二18~23，十九11~12）。

　　铜在象征上，表征神圣的审判（出二七1~6）。基督在地上的时候，祂属地的行动和每天的生活，都受过试炼并试验。因着祂的行事为人都经过试验，所以能发光。现在基督的脚好像明亮的铜，就如以西结一章七节和但以理十章六节也说到的，表征祂完全且明亮的行事为人，使祂够资格施行神圣的审判。……当主来借着审判据有这地时，祂的两脚要像火柱（启十1）。

　　祂的“声音如同众水的声音”〔一15〕，……这是一种哄嚷的声音，乃是全能神的声音（结一24，四三2）。这表征神的说话既严肃又庄重（参启十3）。有时候主的声音很温柔，但有的时候祂的声音却像雷轰一样震撼我们。……祂的声音，就是全能之神的声音，警告并唤醒我们（启示录生命读经，一二三至一二六页）。

　　In Song of Songs 5:12 the eyes of Christ are like doves. That is for the expression of His love. [In Revelation 1:14] His eyes are “like a flame of fire.” This is for Him to observe and search that He may exercise judgment by enlightening…His eyes are not two but seven (5:6). Seven is the number of completion in God’s move. Hence, Christ’s eyes in this book are for God’s operation. These seven eyes of His are the “seven lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the seven Spirits of God” (4:5; cf. Dan. 10:6). The “fire burning” equals the “flame of fire” and is for observing and searching. The seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth are also for God’s move upon the earth. Thus, the eyes of Christ in Revelation are the seven Spirits of God for God’s move and operation on earth today.

　　Christ’s eyes are for watching, observing, searching, judging by enlightening, and infusing. We must experience all these different aspects of His eyes, especially the aspect of infusing. His eyes infuse us with all that He is…Since the day we were saved, Christ's eyes have been like a burning fire enlightening and infusing us. His eyes also stir us up to be hot…Many times the Lord comes to us with His piercing eyes. Perhaps when we are trying to hide something from our wives, the Lord comes with seven shining eyes piercing into our being and exposing our true condition. I have had this kind of experience hundreds of times. When I was arguing with others, especially with my intimate ones, the shining eyes of Christ were upon me, and I could not go on speaking. His shining stopped my mouth.

　　The book of Revelation is a book with a judging nature. Fire is for divine judgment (1 Cor. 3:13; Heb. 6:8; 10:27). “Our God is also a consuming fire” (12:29). His throne is a fiery flame and its wheels are burning fire, and a fiery stream issues and comes out from before Him (Dan. 7:9-10). All of this is for judgment. The Lord's eyes being like a flame of fire is mainly for His judgment (Rev. 2:18-23; 19:11-12).

　　In typology bronze signifies divine judgment (Exo. 27:1-6). When Christ was on earth, His earthly walk and daily walk were tried and tested. Because His walk was tested, He came out shining. Now the feet of Christ are like shining bronze, as mentioned also in Ezekiel 1:7 and Daniel 10:6, signifying that His perfect and bright walk qualifies Him to exercise divine judgment… When He comes to possess the earth by judging it, His feet will be like pillars of fire (Rev. 10:1).

　　“His voice” is “like the sound of many waters” [1:15],…a tumultuous sound,…the sound of the voice of the almighty God (Ezek. 1:24; 43:2). It signifies the seriousness and solemnity of His speaking (cf. Rev. 10:3). Sometimes the Lord’s voice is gentle and tender, but at other times His voice shocks us like thunder…His voice, which is that of the almighty God, warns us and wakes us up. (Life-study of Revelation, pp. 99-100)
