[QUOTE]Originally posted by Crush Black Lies: [QB] It is really sad that people cannot comprehend what they are reading. It reflects poorly on our nation's schools. Rev 1:15 And his feet like unto fine [i]brass[/i], [b]as if they burned in a furnace[/b]... First, the phrase is written in the past progressive, a significant point. John saw the feet of Christ, likened to brass, burning in fire. The significant point is the verb tense. John did not see the end result, a "burned" material, as argued by "Black Christ" polemics; anything burned according to them equates to black or dark. Christ's feet according to the vision were fashioned after metal, and subjected to being purged in a furnace. The process of treating metals with heat is called annealing. And it serves to strengthen the metal by removing slags (impurities). John saw Christ's feet burning. And because he likened the feet onto brass, one should understand the behavior of alloys --brass-- subjected to tempering. But before we begin there, what is brass? An alloy composed of [b]zinc and copper[/b]. In the original Greek scripture, the word is "chalkolibanon"; chalko (brass) + libanon, derived from the word laban or [WHITE]--the zinc whitens the alloy; the authors used libanon in place of zinc. A stronger translation would read: Rev 1:15 And his feet like unto [i]white brass[/i]... When metals are heat treated the first color to manifest is the glowing white. If the metal is retreated from the heat, a glowing red would be observed. What John saw was the feet of a man likened to glowing white metal. John saw Christ's glory or light body which was fully white, from head to toe, with the exception of his eyes that glowed red. John saw someone like this but with bloodshot red eyes: [IMG]http://img585.imageshack.us/img585/3034/whitemand.jpg[/IMG] [/QB][/QUOTE]
