Apocalypse 1:15 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 1:15

And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a
furnace
By which is meant, not his human nature in a suffering state; or his people, the meaner and lower parts of his mystical body, in a like state; or his apostles and ministers, who are supporters of his church, and run to and fro with spiritual knowledge, for which, though they suffer much, are permanent and glorious; but either the power of Christ in bearing up and supporting his people, in the care and government and defence of them; or his ways, works, and walks in his churches, and all his providential administrations towards them, which are holy, just, and righteous, and will be manifest; or his wrath and vengeance in treading down and trampling upon his enemies:

16 Il avait dans sa main droite sept étoiles. De sa bouche sortait une épée aiguë, à deux tranchants; et son visage était comme le soleil lorsqu'il brille dans sa force.
17 Quand je le vis, je tombai Ă  ses pieds comme mort. Il posa sur moi sa main droite en disant: Ne crains point! Je suis le premier et le dernier,
