What Does Revelation 1:15 Mean?

The portrait of the glorified Christ continues from head toward foot. His feet shine like fine brass glowing in a furnace, and His voice sounds like the rush of many waters. Each image adds to the impression of strength purified and power overwhelming.

Feet like refined metal suggest stability and the purity of one who has passed through fire, able to stand and to tread down all opposition. A voice like many waters is a voice that drowns out every other sound, full of authority and majesty. When this Lord speaks, no rival voice can compete. For churches surrounded by louder powers, the message is clear: the One who walks among them is mightier than all that threatens them, and His word carries above the noise of the world.
