What is the significance of the "eyes as a flame of fire " and the "feet as fine brass burned in a furnace " in Revelation 1?

Good evening, my answer to you question is the significance to the describing of what John saw with his own eyes. He is describing God. God is the creation of fire. His glory is so bright that John fell at his feet and did die. Fine brass is another discription of God having the best strongest feet to stand against anything because He is King of Kings, He is mighty in all ways. Hope this helped you some. you know why John fell to his death right, because no man can go before God who has sin. After God laid His hand upon John his sins were cleansed.

In a reference Bible there are some explanation to that passage. I'll list them:

Isaiah 41:4, 6

Daniel 7:13, 10:5, 7:9

Daniel 2:18

Revelation 19:12-16

Alpha- beginning

Omega- end

I didn't see it for a long time, but one day I was reading Genesis 1:1 in Hebrew. It said, "In Beginning".

My brain exploded.

First Day, God created TIME for earth. God exists outside of time and inside of time. That is how He sees us "alpha" and "omega". He knows who will and who will not receive the Salvation He has prepared for us.

PRAYER can change things or how we can accept things. The woman who tithed the widows mite, impressed Jesus.

All of our days are recorded in a Book. Which means unborn children are known by God. He called prophets from the womb.

Time is for weather, seasons, plant, harvest, animals mate, give birth; eggs to be hatched. It's huge just thinking about all the things that depend on time.

Time is the one thing scientists couldn't find formulas of its origins. They have carbon dating, bigger space projects. No one is going to publish a Formula for Time.

Genesis isn't the only place in the Bible where it speaks of Gods creation. They don't want to give God credit for it.

"They" thought we'd understand it better if they added THE: in the beginning. Other stuff-God doesn't step in and stop car wrecks. But if we pray, we'll survive with just a little damage. He honors our free will.

I think alpha and Omaha are Greek words.

God has spread gold nuggets of revelation all through the Bible. Just laying there. If we read too fast, we will race past it.

I was reading Ezekiel 37 about the bones. I know it's Israel. (I had dry bones in my life). I skimmed past where God says prophesy UPON these bones.

The Holy Spirit tells me to prophesy. I said aloud the scriptures. Then he said, you can prophesy over YOUR dry bones!

I'm scared to say THUS saith THE LORD. I cower while I'm thinking of dead things in my life.
