WHAT DOES JESUS LOOK LIKE? - John's First Vision (Apocalypse #22)

[@jesmarkmikesell1957]

What I find so defining of Jesus' description is how he isn't fully identified by his appearance, but by the WORD of who he is. It is the word that holds power, and faith that we acknowledge him with.

Besides arguing over little details the point is that Jesus looks different now than when he was in his earthly ministry. His own disciples didn't recognize him after his resurrection. And one of the things that prove all these NDEs and visions wrong is that they have him in his earthly carnation to which he doesn't look like now, and even that is debatable as most have him as a white man.

[@jglenn2282]

Look at modern Ehiopians...that is what Jesus looked like. The Ethiopian Royal family is related to Jesus. What color are they? They are the same color as Jesus.

[@fr.williamnicholas955]

Actually, the ethnicity of Israel was probably a mixture of a number of ethnicities, being it was right at the hub of three continents, an intersection for major trade routs and right smack in the middle of a number of empires that conquered and reconquered the region over time. It would appear a rather rotten joke for God to place his Chosen People there, but given the racial rivalries both today and throughout history, maybe it was no accident. No single race of people can claim Jesus as exclusively theirs as He was probably, in all likelihood, a mixture of a number of them.

[@blockchaingeek2689]

Nothing wrong with a faith being "tested". I am constantly reminding people who confess to me that they are "doubting" their faith that doubting the faith is NOT a sin. Doubt leads to questions. Questions lead to answers and the CORRECT answers lead to a DEEPENING of faith (the answers that lead us away from the faith and the Church are the WRONG answers - that's how you know). So don't be put off by your doubts and tests. The bio page on my blog (www.frbillnicholas.com) has my current location. I have a number of friends in Texas (and some who will be moving there soon).

Thanks for many of your comments. It is interesting looking at many of the comments for this video. Many commenters appear not to have watched the video itself because the video is about how Jesus appeared to John in the Book of Revelation, which is very symbolic in its detail, but does not take race into account. The commenters seem less concerned with how John describes his vision of Jesus and more concerned with race rivalries regarding Jesus' humanity.

[@Truthseeker80s]

The Son of Man is portrayed in this vision as having a robe with a golden sash, white hair, eyes like blazing fire, feet like bronze and a voice like rushing waters. ... As a black man I do not think Jesus was African but he was a man of color like everyone was in that area during that time. If his color didn’t matter he wouldn’t be a white man with blonde hair and blue eyes throughout history. So when you speak of the Bible please read what the Bible says. As a man of the cloth you should know that. Be blessed. And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.” (Rev. ... 22:18-19.)

[@John-mf6ky]

@@Truthseeker80s, Jesus has been depicted many different way in various part of the world. Have you seen the Asian depictions? People focus too much on how he looked, and not his teachings. That's ones thing Islam has going for it (they don't depict Allah or Muhammad).

[@fr.williamnicholas955]

Jesus also talks about making hair black. The fulfillment of the law in Matthew 5 is in no longer needing to swear an oath because Jesus' followers are people of the truth who should not need to take swear oaths. The vision of John in Revelation is not about taking oaths, nor about any fulfillment of the law. He is experiencing a vision of Jesus. Here the hair is not "made" white, it IS white. If anything, the hair is more of a fulfillment (more like a parallel) from Old Testament wisdom assertions that white (or grey) hair is a sign of Wisdom -- here, the hair is totally white. Ergo it is the symbolism, not a fulfillment., of the infinite Wisdom of Jesus.

Speaking about Jesus hair being white is about his oath under God because God has Dominion. It's not about the color of his hair like a lot of people use systematic theology for. If this is correct please respond? Revelation 1:14, KJV: His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire; Matthew 5:36, KJV: Neither shalt thou swear by thy head, because thou canst not make one hair white or black.

[@fr.williamnicholas955]

The two passages are totally unrelated to each other. One deals with the issue of swearing oaths, the other describes the vision of Jesus by John the Seer - not as Jesus really is (the title is meant to be click-bate) but more regarding the symbolism of each detail of the description.

What is the difference between Christian and catholic? Someone plz explain

[@fr.williamnicholas955]

Catholicism is the original Christian faith. "Catholic" was applied to the Church by Ignatius of Antioch in his Letter to the Smyrneans. When a person refers to themselves as "christian", however, it, more or less, means that they are non-Catholic, and they will more-or-less, deny that Catholicism is Christian. However, the first of the Christian Churches is the Catholic Church, along with the Orthodox Churches, both of whom can trace the tradition of their teachings and worship as far back as the Apostles.

[@ctwn2166]

Ok father to me it doesn't matter what we are Christian or catholic we worship 1 GOD .. RIGHT

[@fr.williamnicholas955]

True. Jesus did say "those who are not against us are for us." However, the task of the Catholic Church is to be true to EVERYTHING Jesus said, and also to recognized that Jesus, not the Bible, is the center of faith. A "true" Church must be able to trace its tradition back to the Apostles, upon whom Jesus originally established His Church. From the Apostles comes the tradition of worship, teaching, and even the compilation of Scriptures and its recognition as the Word of God. While different churches may be different, as are the Catholic and Orthodox churches, the key is to trace it's Tradition, unbroken, all the way back to the Apostles, and ultimately all the way back to Jesus.

[@christfollower5956]

Catholicism is not the original Christianity faith!! Catholics believe in praying to marry and having her intercede for you and also the angels when in the Bible the exact book the Catholics have says to not pray to anyone but God. Never does it say pray to marry at all. No catholic can show me a verse in the Bible. Catholicism is the last day Babylon church whom the anti Christ uses to bring all the false religions into one with him. Christians the one that follow the Bible and only God are the true people of Christ

[@fr.williamnicholas955]

Your "Catholics pray to Mary" is a tired cliché that only shows your lack of knowledge about Catholicism in general, as well as Christianity and the Church. We pray TO God. We pray FOR one another. We pray TO no one but God, but we often pray together, we pray FOR each other, and we ask one another to pray FOR us. The community of believers that is the Church is not separated by death, at least not the real Church. We ask the living to pray FOR us TO God, and we ask those who have gone before us in death to pray FOR us TO God; some of whom, living and dead, we recognized are of particular holiness (i.e. Mary and the Saints) and ideal to ask to pray FOR us TO God. Catholics to not "worship" Mary. Praying and worshipping are not the same thing. When the Queen of England speaking in the House of Lords says "Pray be seated, my Lords," is she worshipping them or asking/petitioning them to be seated? If you ask a friend to pray for you, are you worshipping that friend or are you asking them to pray to God on your behalf? Even Moses prayed for Israel before God, as did the prophets for their people, Jesus for his disciples and the Apostles for the Churches they led. There are also examples in which people asked holy men/women in the Bible to pray to God for them. We don't need exact Bible verses to tell us what to do when the Bible gives us countless examples of it.

Historically he was of the Jewish, Middle-Eastern, Judean nationality of the 1st Century. Mystically he is relatable by every culture of every time and place. In Revelation, his description is what it is. It is not meant to be a slight, or promotion of any particular culture or race. The "whiteness" some people seem to be taking exception to is not racial, but connotes the intense light that comes forth from him.

[@fr.williamnicholas955]

Exactly! "John's" description of Jesus is theological. As I said in the videos (this one and previous) the descriptions of Jesus in the first vision of Revelation reflect the theologies of Paul ("first born from the dead", "out of his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword" etc.) and the Synoptic Gospels of Matthew, Mark and Luke ("ruler of the kings of the earth") and no doubt other developing theologies. Whether this reflects an actual vision that took place cannot be verified, but nonetheless, the message and description is reflective of the various teachings of the time regarding Jesus. Great Question!!

Understanding the visions seen and revelations heard by Apostle John First of all, when did he hear all the revelations and see the visions? According to him, while he was in the spirit, he found himself present on the Day of the Lord. (Revelation 1:10 in the Weymouth's New Testament version.) Therefore, everything he heard was given on the Lord's Day. Everything he saw was shown during that Day? For example: He saw a mighty angel who seized Satan, chained him, and imprisoned him in the abyss which will last a thousand years, where during that time, souls who came to life will serve as priests of God and will reign with the Christ, the appointed judges. (Revelation 20.) This was also given to him on that Day, the Lord's Day. And also on that Day, in Revelation 17:8, he heard this revelation about the red beast with seven heads and ten horns who empowered the evil city: "The beast which you saw was here once, NOW IS NOT HERE, but soon will come out up from the abyss going to its final destruction... " This red beast which has 7 heads and 10 horns is also called as the 8th head, the real head of the red beast.... the red dragon itself. During the Lord's Day, 5 of these 7 are already fallen, the 6th is presently ruling and the 7th will come soon. But when he comes, he will not last long. He also heard this message during the Lord's Day: "Fear God and give him glory for the hour of his judgment has come! Worship him who made the heaven and the earth, the sea and all springs of water!" (Revelation 14:6-7) Therefore, the Lord's Day in which John was present while he was in the spirit is the hour of judgment, when the appointed judges will execute the justifiable judgment of God... the bright thousand years! It is also the hour in which all inhabitants of the earth are given the last chance to fear and glorify and worship the Creator. The visions of John are always repeated in different angles or views with new added details or expounded parts just like the visions of prophet Daniel. All that he heard and saw are things that are happening during the Lord's Day and things that surrounded that hour of judgment. The people of the holy ones will recognize the Lord's Day when it comes because the holy sons of God, their holy spirits, will make them to perceive it so that they will not stumble upon this invisible kingdom of rock.

Most think Jesus looked Jewish. Some African Americans think Jesus is Black because of his white wool hair.. if Jesus dies at 33 on the cross that’s awful premature to have white hair.. I know many African Americans who are in their later days of life and still have dark hair aside from some white on the sides and salt and pepper throughout the rest of the scalp. I notice a lot of churches have a picture of Jesus with sandy blonde hair and blue eyes. We all have our opinion and that’s perfectly acceptable.. I do believe Paul seen Jesus in his Heavenly appearance and Jesus had stars in his hand and his eyes were of fire and white hair like wool. That doesn’t sound like a normal African American or Any race for that matter.. How many people have you seen on this side of eternity that fit the discrimination Paul seen? Have you seen flames in someone’s eyes? Holding stars perhaps? I am certain this vision was not to cause us to question the appearance of Christ but rather to depict to us that he is alive. Paul recorded what he seen and we are to learn of his vision of what’s to come, not what he physically looked like.. I feel if Jesus wanted us to know his image it would have been spoken of. That tells me his word and his promise and sacrifice is what we look at and not his color.. God bless you all no matter what you think Jesus looks like. We will all know when we meet in Heaven ..
