The Son of Man on the Lord's day.

[whirlwind]

We are shown a picture of the Son of Man on the Lord's day as described by John when he was "in the Spirit." This is the body of Christ, the body of those that overcome. [Revelation 3:21]

• Revelation 1:13-15 And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. His head and His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and His eyes were as a flame of fire; And His feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and His voice as the sound of many waters.

The seven candlesticks are... the seven churches. [Revelation 1:20] The Son of Man is "in their midst" yet they are not shown as part of His body. To me that means they are righteous but they are not the elect, not the man child...not yet of His body at the time of the Lord's day.

The Son of Man is the body of Christ, Christ in His body, and His entire body is clothed...."down to the foot." In other places we are told they/He is "clothed with fine linen, white and clean"..."for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints." [Revelation 19:8,14] This entire body, down to the foot, wears the fine linen of the saints...the body of Christ is...the saints and the "head" of the body is our Lord.

His head is God..."and the head of Christ is God." [1 Corinthians 11:3]

His eyes....I believe, are symbolic of the man child, those that will be slain for Him.

His feet....These are the witnesses, those that stand on the mount of Olives. Those that are "changed in the twinkling of an eye" for they are those "which are alive and remain unto the coming of the Lord."

• Zechariah 14:4 And His feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem....

His voice as the sound of many waters...."the voice of a great multitude, and as the voice of many waters." [Revelation 19:6] That is the voice of the many that make up the body of Christ.

Girt about the Paps....The word paps is used Biblically four times only and always refers to the female breast. The Son of Man is described with paps! Why? I can think of two reasons. This shows that the body of Christ is male and female...no gender. It shows that the body of Christ will feed, nourish others during the millennium.

This morning a third reason was shown to me. The reason the Son of Man is shown with paps is He and His wife are now One.

• Revelation 19:7-9 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to Him; for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and His wife hath made herself ready." And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. And he saith unto me, "Write, 'blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb.' " And he saith unto me, "These are the true sayings of God."

The Son of Man, on the Lord's day, is His wife. The marriage of the Lamb is come.

whirlwind,

I extracted your post to emphasis one part, the Head. The wool and the snow lead us back to Isaiah 1:18, and the two facets of sin, and the two ways of God in Christ Jesus that he deals with sin and iniquity.

Isa 1:18
18 Come now, and let us reason together, saith the LORD: though your sins be as scarlet, they shall be as white as snow; though they be red like crimson, they shall be as wool. KJV

The sins of the character of scarlet are dealt with by our Lord through cold waters of affliction; the washing of regeneration, the washing of water by the word.

The sins of the character of red like crimson are dealt with God through the shearing of the sheep, the slaying of the sheep and the covering of wool.

Sins are covered, sins are washed.

God justifies, God sanctifies. Two qualities of the stream that flowed from the side of Jesus when the soldier pierced Jesus' side with the spear. Those who are given these two gifts, they will not be taken in the delusion, the second death.

Thank you so much Joe. I knew when writing this that the words " His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow," also were symbolic but I didn't understand. You have added the final piece.

The Head, God, washes the sins of the body of Christ....white as snow.
