{As white wool} (h(9373) erion leukon). Erion (wool) in N.T.
only here and Heb 9:19 , though old word. The person of the Lord
Jesus is here described in language largely from Da 7:9 (the
Ancient of Days). {White as snow} (h(9373) chi(936e)). Just "as snow,"
also in Da 7:9 . In N.T. only here and Mt 28:3 . {As a flame of
fire} (h(9373) phlox puros). In Da 7:9 the throne of the Ancient
of Days is phlox puros, while in Da 10:6 the eyes of the
Ancient of Days are lampades puros (lamps of fire). See also
2:18 19:12 for this bold metaphor (like Heb 1:7 ).
