How Does Jesus Look In Heaven

What did Jesus look like?

1. Describe what Jesus looked like on the cross
2. Describe what Jesus looks like in paradise.

Jesus’ lineage

According to the stories in the New Testament, Jesus was reported to have slipped away into the throng on multiple occasions and was unable to be discovered (Luke 4:30). Also in Matthew 1:1-17, we learn about Jesus’ pedigree, which begins with Adam and Abraham and ends with his parents, Joseph and Mary. What is the significance of this? There wasn’t much that distinguished him from the other Jews who were living in Israel at the time, and as a result, he didn’t stand out much from the rest of the throng.

His career was a good indicator of his physical appearance.

Where Was Jesus Born?

Was Jesus Beautiful?

In Isaiah 53, the prophet foretold that Jesus would have no exterior traits or attractiveness that would allure people to Him or entice them to Him. As an additional point of clarification, Isaiah says that Jesus will sprout up like a plant out of dry ground, without any type of kingly grandeur. The bottom line is that Jesus seemed to be a normal guy with no distinctive qualities. There was no reason for the people to follow Jesus just because he appeared to be a rock star or a model on the outside.

Jesus’ teachings were different from those of the religious authorities of the day; rather, He spoke with authority (Matthew 7:28-29).

What Did Jesus Look Like on the Cross?

Additionally, the Bible states in Isaiah 52 and 53 that Jesus was subjected to excruciating physical and mental agony in the days leading up to his crucifixion. According to Isaiah 53:4-5, Jesus bore our anguish and sorrows, and He was lashed, wounded, and bruised as a result of our transgressions. You can only imagine what Jesus must have looked like after all of that suffering. You can only imagine the expression on His face when the nails were pressed into His hands. You can only imagine the expression on His face when the crown of thorns was put on His head.

Assume the look of love on Jesus’ face when He meets you, over 2,000 years later, and accepts your repentance for everything you have done.

What Does Jesus Look Like in Heaven?

Following his ascension to heaven in a glorified body, Jesus is described in detail in the book of Revelation. In two primary locations, Revelation 1 and 19, John had a vision of Jesus and records what he sees. The following description is taken from the vision. Jesus seems to be the “Son of Man,” who is dressed in a garment that extends all the way down to His feet with a golden belt around His breast (Revelation 1:13). In the book of Revelation, his head and hair are white as snow, and his eyes are like flames of fire (Rev 1:14).

As seen by John in Revelation 1:16, Jesus is holding seven stars in His right hand, and His feet appear to be highly polished brass from a furnace (Rev 1:15, 2:18).

Revelation 19 also offers an image of Jesus returning to earth, adorned with many crowns and riding on a white horse with a name inscribed on it that no one could read before (Rev 19:11-12).

According to the Book of Revelation, the voice of Jesus sounds like a trumpet, and the sound of many rivers is heard (Rev 1:10,15; 19:6).

Jesus in Daniel’s Visions

It’s fascinating to observe that Daniel identifies Jesus as having attributes that are practically identical to those of Jesus. According to Daniel 10:5-6, Jesus is described in the following way:

• Daniel 10:5 describes him as being dressed in linen, with a pure golden ribbon around his waist (Daniel 10:5), and with a body that looked like Beryl (Daniel 10:6). Daniel 10:6 describes the face as being like flashes of lightning
• The eyes as being like fiery torches
• The arms and feet as being like polished bronze
• The voice as being like the sound of a multitude (Daniel 10:6).

What Does Jesus Look Like In Heaven? Get the Facts

Given the magnificent depictions of heaven found in the Bible, it’s no surprise that Christians contemplate about and anticipate their arrival there. They are excited to see all they will see, to do everything they will do, and to see who they will reconnect with or who they will meet for the first time. Christians, like everyone else, are looking forward with bated breath to the return of Jesus Christ. Many people are also curious as to what he will seem like. The look of Jesus in heaven will be similar to that of his resurrected body on Earth.

Jesus in Heaven: A Glimpse at the Transfiguration

A well-known tale in the Gospels is that of Jesus taking Peter, James, and John up to a mountain to pray, which is known as the Transfiguration of Christ. When the disciples were praying, Jesus’ appearance altered in front of their eyes — he was transfigured— as if by magic. “Now, about eight days after these sayings, he gathered his disciples, Peter, John, and James, and went up to the mountain to pray. During his prayer, the look of his face changed, and the color of his attire changed from black to brilliant white.” The ESV translation of Luke 9:28-29; also see Matthew 17:1-8 and Mark 9:2-8) The transfiguration has nothing to do with Jesus’ presence in heaven, do you believe?

• Although Jesus’ new look and garments may not have been a perfect representation of his heavenly appearance, his transfiguration did show his splendor (Luke 9:32), which was previously veiled from view.
• Although Jesus’ appearance was transformed in front of Peter, James, and John on the mountain, this was not his first transfiguration.
• His first one came when he took on human flesh, so obscuring his actual magnificence (cf.
• The transfiguration of Jesus on the mountain occurred during a brief period of time when there was no eclipse and Peter, James, and John were able to see Jesus’ brightness (Luke 9:32).
• The first thing that happened was that Jesus’ face transformed.
• The wording does not indicate that his physical characteristics changed in terms of shape or size in the literal sense.
• As opposed to this, the Gospel authors mention that something about his entire face transformed.

‘Then Moses descended down Mount Sinai, holding in his hand both of the tablets of the testimony.

Yes.

(ESV).

In a later part of the account, Luke refers to Jesus’ transformed look as “revealing his splendor” (Luke 9:32).

There is a strong focus on his nature, which is holy and righteous, as well as his connection with the Father: ‘And there was a cloud overshadowing them, and a voice spoke out of the cloud, ‘This is my beloved Son; listen to him,'” says the Bible.

Even though Jesus’ bodily appearance was described at the transfiguration, this does not necessarily imply that people would have to hide their eyes from his splendor in heaven since it will be so piercingly brilliant.

What was Jesus’ physical appearance like following his resurrection?

This might imply that, while Jesus will be absolutely holy and virtuous in heaven, his appearance will not be uniquely lit indefinitely, as it was in the first century.

Halos are rings of light that appear around or hover above a person’s head, and they are widely seen in works of art such as frescoes and paintings, as well as in real life.

They predate Christianity in terms of art and may be found in a variety of ancient cultures.

Jesus will not have a halo in heaven, and there is no evidence that he will. Also read Are Babies Who Die on Earth Considered to Be Babies in Heaven? in order to find out more. In heaven, would Jesus have blazing eyes like a flaming torch? Please see the section below.

Jesus Physical Appearance: His Scars

The physical scars of Jesus’ crucifixion remained on his resurrected body after his resurrection. According to a well-known exchange between Jesus and Thomas — who was properly dubbed “Doubting Thomas” — the suspicious disciple postponed belief until he got evidence to the contrary. “As a result, the other disciples informed him that they had witnessed the Lord. They responded by saying, “Unless I see the nail marks on his hands and press my finger into the nail marks on his hands, and place my hand into his side, I will never believe.” (John 21:25, English Standard Version) Eight days had passed after Thomas made his proclamation when Jesus came to the disciples.

“At that point, he said to Thomas, ‘Put your finger here, and you’ll see my hands; and put your hand forth, and you’ll lay it in my side.'” ‘Do not be skeptical, but rather believe.’ “‘My Lord and my God,’ Thomas said in response.” (John 21:27-28, English Standard Version) Will Jesus have nail marks on his body when he enters the kingdom of heaven?

All Christians will one day be able to see, and maybe even touch, the wounds that were used to redeem them from their sins.

Rom 5:8).

Jesus’ Appearance in Revelation

Is there any clue from John’s portrayal of Jesus in the book of Revelation as to what he would look like in heaven? Only the last book of the Bible contains such an astounding portrayal of Jesus as the book of Revelation. The gospel of John describes Jesus as being “.clad in a long robe with a golden ribbon around his breast.” His locks were white, like white wool, like snow, and he had a white beard. His eyes were like a blaze of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze that had been purified in a furnace, and his voice was like the thunder of many seas combined together.

7:13-14).

It is more likely that this specific image represents the strength of Jesus’ directives, decrees, and judgements than anything else.

10 Beautiful Biblical Descriptions of What Heaven Will Look Like and Be Like

3rd slide out of 10 ‘After these things happened, I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could count, from all nations and tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes and holding palm branches in their hands, and crying out with a loud voice: “Salvation belongs to our God, who sits on the throne, and to the Lamb!” (Revelation 7:9, Revelation 7:10) The triumphant entry into Jerusalem, as described in the Gospels, depicted Jesus riding on a donkey into the city.

A long line of Jews had formed through the streets, clad in their cloaks and waving palm branches, thanking God for the marvels they had witnessed him accomplish (Luke 19:37).

‘The King of Israel!'” exclaimed the crowd.

He cried over the city as he got close enough to see it, saying, “Would that you, even you, had learned on this day the things that bring about peace!” (19:41-42) (Luke 19:41-42) ((Luke 19:41-42) ((Luke 19:41-42) (((Luke 19:41-42) (((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((((( There will be no doubt about who the Prince of Peace is when he arrives in paradise.

Does Jesus have a physical body in heaven?

QuestionAnswer The physical, bodily resurrection of Jesus is essential to Christian teaching as well as our expectation of eternal life. All Christians have the assurance that they will rise from the dead in a physical body since Jesus rose from the dead with a physical body (John 5:21, 28; Romans 8:23). In heaven, Jesus is depicted as seated in a position of authority, at the right hand of God, and He is surrounded by angels (1 Peter 3:22). Is Jesus’ body in heaven, on the other hand, the same as His body on earth?

• The tomb was completely devoid of everything.
• After His resurrection, Jesus appeared to all of His followers, and more than five hundred individuals were eyewitnesses to His earthly, post-resurrection presence (see 1 Corinthians 15:4–6 for a list of those who witnessed His earthly, post-resurrection presence).
• But later on, “their eyes were opened, and they recognized Him,” as the Bible says (verse 31).
• Jesus clarifies to His followers later in the same chapter of Luke that He does have a physical body and is not a disembodied spirit, saying: “Look at my hands and my feet, that it is I myself.” Feel free to touch me and see what happens.
• A corporeal ascension into heaven took place after Jesus had spent forty days with His apostles (Acts 1:9).
• His body, on the other hand, is unlike any other; terrestrial human flesh is perishable, but heavenly bodies are imperishable (1 Corinthians 15:50).
• His resurrected body was created with the idea of eternal life in mind.

Our heavenly bodies will be different from our earthly bodies in terms of the type of flesh they have, the brilliance they have, the strength they have, and the length of time they will live.

2 Corinthians 5:1–2 has a second discussion on this issue, in which Paul compares earthly and heavenly bodies to tents and heavenly bodies to heavenly palaces, respectively.

By putting on the new body, we shall transition from being mortal to being eternal (2 Corinthians 5:4).

Upon His incarnation, Jesus took on human flesh, and during His resurrection, his body was glorified—though He maintained the wounds from His passion (John 20:27).

In heaven, we shall be able to see, hear, and feel Christ, who is the Creator of the universe, since He will always come to our level and will be known to us in a physical form that we can see, hear, and touch (Revelation 21:3–4; 22:4).

In heaven, what will we look like?

Many people have always been captivated by the idea of what individuals will look like in paradise. A glance into the Bible provides some views on the subject, but it leaves other portions of the discussion unsolved. It is written in First Corinthians 15 that Christians’ bodies will be raised from the dead. They will live forever and be unaffected by death. In other words, these bodies will be very different from our current terrestrial bodies and will remain forever. Although our resurrected bodies will be different from those on earth, there must be some similarities between them.

• Second, the resurrected body of Jesus was immediately identifiable to His disciples, despite the fact that it had extraordinary talents and had been restored to full health (1 John 3:2-3).
• For example, we will consume food and beverages (Luke 14:15; 22:18).
• We shall be able to sing praises to the Lord and show our gratitude to Him.
• Another advantage is that our heavenly bodies will be cleansed of all sin after we have attained immortality.
• There will be no more temptation; instead, there will be complete and total happiness and tranquility in the presence of the Lord.
• What about individuals who are suffering from bodily or mental ailments in this life?
• “Then the eyes of the blind will be opened, and the ears of the deaf will be unstopped; then the lame man will jump like a deer, and the tongue of the mute will sing for joy,” says Isaiah 35:5-6.
• Again, not every detail of our heavenly body is revealed, but there is a great deal of information provided.
• In the presence of the Lord, we shall be able to identify one another and be free from sin and its consequences as long as we live among other believers and in His presence forever.
• What will we be doing in the hereafter is anyone’s guess.

Jesus (What Did Jesus Look Like)

I’ll provide my response first, and then some further insight. Sadly, we have no way of knowing what Jesus looked like when He was on the world. There is no information in the scriptures concerning his physical characteristics, such as his height, weight, or appearance. He was a mystery to us, and we had no clue what he looked like in terms of face characteristics such as skin tone, hair color, or even eye color. We know He is the most important and world-changing individual who has ever lived, yet we have no clue what He looks like or how big He is.

• All of this is a secret that the Father has kept concealed.
• However, some of you may claim that you have seen His photograph or sketch in books or in your Bible.
• Early Christian art centered on Jesus was influenced by Roman and Western cultures.
• This was made popular in contemporary times by including illustrations and other materials in printed Bibles and children’s books.
• The idea of Jesus in any other manner than the way He has been shown in art and film is beyond the comprehension of the majority of people today.
• We must be very careful to distinguish between fantasy and biblical reality.
• I have no idea why God chose to do things this way, and I am not even surprised.
• The following verse is the closest thing we have to definitive information on Jesus’ physical appearance.
• As a result, we may conclude that Jesus did indeed have a beard.

He has no outward appearance or attractiveness, and when we look at Him, there is nothing about Him that we should want to seek.’ (According to the Holy Bible, Isaiah 53:2) In the same way that many people were taken aback by your look, His appearance (view) was deformed more than any man, and His appearance more than the sons of mankind; (Isaiah 52:14) The texts quoted above are referring to Jesus, and we can only be in awe at the significance of this discovery.

1. We can only weep when we witness this portrayal of Jesus.
2. He had eaten, drunk, and slept, and he was exhausted.
3. As I close my eyes and allow you in on my time spent with Jesus in Lake Tahoe, on the Nevada-California border, I want to share something from my heart and life with you.
4. The following is an excerpt from the book “Turned on to Jesus,” which was released in 1970: A SUPERNATURAL WALK WITH JESUS I don’t expect everyone to believe what I’m about to tell them.
5. It goes beyond logic and reasonable explanation.
6. It will be dismissed as a delusion by the agnostic.
7. The sycophantic utterances Christian will doubt my sanity if I don’t do something.

It doesn’t matter!

These few lines of preamble are just an acknowledgement of the reality that we live in an era of nuclear weapons, space travel, and other such technologies.

The encounter described here is one of those spiritual experiences that transcend human comprehension.

The wonderful pastor was Reverend Gordon Siler, and Ron Willis was conducting the music service, and we were all around the same age.

I followed my inner voice.

I requested Pastor Siler to accompany me, but he declined, stating that it was “too chilly.” “You could lose your voice.

“No,” I responded.

When Ron and I got to the Mile High Lake, it was quite chilly.

The night sky was clear, and the stars all shone in their own unique manner in the darkness.

After a few minutes of talking about Peter, one of Christ’s disciples and an early preacher, we stopped and looked at the water.

The incident is told in Matthew 14:28-31, and it describes how Peter jumped off of the ship and walked on the sea toward Jesus, before becoming afraid when he noticed the roiling wind and sinking into the ocean.

Tonight, I was awestruck by him for accomplishing something that no one else, even Jesus, had ever done before: he walked on water!

He attracted my attention because there was something on the lake that caught my eye.

I shook my head in disbelief and turned away from the window.

“Have you had a look out across the lake?” says Arthur.

“What exactly is going on?” No words can adequately reflect my astonishment and ecstatic delight.

We were certain that this was not some bizarre reflected light, nor was it a dream or a vision of any kind.

I needed to know for my own benefit.

.

Glory washed over me like a deluge.

Everything in life was happening right now.

Ron and I were both on our knees in the snow along the water’s edge when we collapsed.

What a disgusting, filthy, vulgar, and filthy creature I am, O Lord.

My eyes welled up with tears, and my body trembled in misery.

I had a blank slate.

“Thank you, Jesus, oh, my Lord, I adore You,” I said as tears streamed down my face as laughter filled my spirit.

He was getting closer, slowly making his way toward us, getting closer and closer to us.

It appeared as if I was about to float out to Him, but suddenly He came to a complete halt, got up, and looked at us.

Ron and I would have gone to be with Him if we had the opportunity.

Being with Him is simply stepping out of the flesh and into His arms, totally immersed in His presence and presence with Him.

I also realized that if I remained a part of this life, I would never have to worry about dying again.

I had been set free from the opinions of men, the secular and religious value systems of success and failure, and I had been set free from the chains of my past.

When you have spent time with Jesus, you begin to lose interest in earthly values.

When Jesus was standing on the water, I was able to see Him plainly.

I’ve never told anyone about this, but every time I preach, and I’ve been doing so for years, I look up toward Heaven and I can see Him in my mind’s eye.

It’s as though He is the physical manifestation of everything.

I’m at a loss for words, but I felt the same way.

I was the wealthiest person on the face of the planet!

I turned to walk away with every ounce of strength I possessed.

I couldn’t just walk away because I wished for Him to bless me.

As I shifted my gaze back toward the waves of Lake Tahoe, I noticed Jesus going away.

Oh, how I wished to see Jesus once again.

After wave after wave of His force washed over me and overwhelmed me, I was speechless.

I couldn’t say anything.

There are no words to adequately describe the priceless tender moments of that union with the Lord.

It had a lovely brilliance about it.

It was beautiful.

not to dissipate, but to dissolve in the same position as before Soon after, the sky above the lake was completely clear.

Let me now read you a passage from the Bible, which states that you and I will both see Jesus in Heaven, and that it will be the same Jesus who walked the world.

It was the same Jesus, but even in His resurrected body, He still bore the scars from the crucifixion on His hands, feet, and side!

“What is causing you to be troubled?” He inquired of them.

“Look at My hands and My feet, and you will see that it is I Myself.” You should try it for yourself, because a spirit does not have flesh and bones like you see I do.” When He had finished speaking, He extended His hands and His feet to them.

As a result, the other disciples approached him and said, “We have seen the Lord.” To this end, he declared to the assembled crowd, “Unless I see in His hands the print of the nails, and place my finger into the print of the nails, and place my hand into His side, I will not believe.” And after eight days, His disciples had returned to the house, with Thomas accompanying them.

1. “Reach your finger here, and look at My hands; and reach your hand here, and place it into My side,” He instructed Thomas.
2. “Men of Galilee, why are you standing here staring up into heaven?” questioned two men dressed in white who stood by them as He ascended.
3. ‘This is the same Jesus,’ the Angels confirmed.
4. Jesus appears in the form of the slain Lamb!
5. Our eyes will be opened, and we will see that He offered His life on the cross in payment for our sins and for us.
6. Oh, how much Jesus cares for you and me!
7. As a result, the world does not recognize us because it did not recognize Him.

1 Corinthians 13:12 (New International Version) To begin with, we see in a dim mirror, but eventually we will see each other face to face.

Revelation 1:5-7 is a passage of scripture.

He who loves us, has forgiven our sins through His own blood, and has raised us up as kings and priests before His heavenly Father, to Him be praise and dominion for all time.

He is coming with clouds, and every eye will behold Him, including those who pierced His flesh and blood.

Nonetheless, Amen.

It was then that my eyes were opened and I saw, standing in the middle of the throne and the four living creatures, and in the middle of the elders, an image of a Lamb who appeared to be slain, with seven horns and seven eyes, which represented the seven Spirits of God who had been sent out into all the earth.

In those days, when He had taken up the scroll, all four living creatures and the twenty-four elders prostrated themselves in front of the Lamb, each holding his own harp and golden bowls full of incense, which represented the prayers of the saints.

Moreover, I heard every creature in heaven, on earth, beneath the earth, in the sea, and all that is in them proclaim: “Blessing and honor and glory and power be to Him who sits on the throne, and to His Son the Lamb, forever and ever!” Revelation 22:13-14 “Amen!” exclaimed the four living creatures at that point.

And the twenty-four elders bowed down and worshiped Him who lives forever and ever. Pilgrim disciples of Jesus,Arthur and Denise Blessitt Luke 18:1 (KJV)

What did Jesus really look like?

Everyone is familiar with the appearance of Jesus. He is the most portrayed character in all of Western art, and he is easily recognized by his long hair and beard, as well as his long robe with long sleeves (typically white) and a cloak, which he wears everywhere (often blue). As a result, Jesus may be recognized on pancakes and slices of bread. But did he truly have this appearance? In truth, this well-known image of Jesus dates back to the Byzantine period, from the 4th century onwards, and Byzantine portrayals of Jesus were symbolic rather than historically accurate – they were concerned with symbolism rather than factual accuracy.

• Image courtesy of Alamy Caption for the image Although the halo derives from ancient art, it was originally a characteristic of the sun deity (Apollo, or Sol Invictus), and was later put to Jesus’s head to demonstrate his celestial nature (Matthew 28:19).
• A statue of long-haired and bearded Olympian Zeus on a throne is well-known across the globe; in fact, the Roman Emperor Augustus had a duplicate of himself built in the same manner.
• Alamy/Getty Images is the image source.
• This depiction of the heavenly Christ, which is occasionally updated in hippy fashion, has evolved into our typical model of the early Jesus as a result of historical development.
• Let’s take it from top to bottom.

1. Hair and beard

In those instances where early Christians did not depict Christ as the celestial king, they depicted him as a regular man with a short beard and short hair. Yale Collections/Public Domain is the source of the image. Caption for the image Ancient paintings of Jesus, from the church of Dura-Europos on the Euphrates River, which is the world’s oldest surviving church (dating from first half of the 3rd Century AD) Nevertheless, as a traveling sage, it is possible that Jesus wore a beard, for the simple reason that he did not visit barbers.

1. Epictetus, a Stoic philosopher, thought it was “acceptable in accordance with Nature.” Being clean-shaven and having short hair was thought extremely necessary in the first century Graeco-Roman civilization, if for no other reason.
2. Even a philosopher wore his hair in a rather short style.
3. In reality, one of the difficulties for oppressors of Jews at various eras was distinguishing them from everyone else when they looked the same as everyone else (a point made in the book of Maccabees).
4. So Jesus, as a philosopher with a “natural” appearance, may have had a short beard, like the men represented on Judaea Capta coinage, but his hair was most likely not extremely long, like the males depicted on Judaea Capta coinage.
5. When it came to Jewish males, those who had untidy beards and slightly long hair were instantly identified as those who had taken a Nazirite vow stood out.
6. However, Jesus did not adhere to the Nazirite vow, as evidenced by the fact that he is frequently spotted drinking wine – his enemies accuse him of consuming an excessive amount of it (Matthew chapter 11, verse 19).

If he had long hair and looked like a Nazirite, we would have expected someone to point out the contradiction between what he appeared to be doing and what he was actually doing – the problem would be that he was actually drinking wine.

2. Clothing

During the time of Jesus, affluent men wore long robes on important occasions in order to flaunt their social standing in front of others. The following is from one of Jesus’ teachings: “Be wary of the scribes, who seek to stroll around the temple courts in long robes (stolai), to be saluted in the markets, to have the most important seats in the synagogues, and to be seated in the places of honour at feasts” (Mark chapter 12, verses 38-39). Because the sayings of Jesus are widely believed to be the more accurate sections of the Gospels, we can infer that Jesus did not actually wear such clothes.

1. As a result, when Thecla, a woman, dresses in a short (male) tunic in the 2nd Century Acts of Paul and Thecla, it comes as a bit of a surprise.
2. It was customary to wear a mantle over the tunic to protect one’s shoulders from the elements, and we know that Jesus wore one of them since it was this that a lady touched when she desired to be cured by him (see, for example, Mark chapter 5, verse 27).
3. Histation, which could be worn in a variety of ways, including as a wrap, would fall beyond the knees and entirely cover the short tunic.
4. Image courtesy of Wikimedia Commons.
5. The quality, size, and color of these mantles all served as indicators of power and status in their respective societies.
6. Because the dyes used to create these colors were extremely uncommon and expensive, they were referred to as “royal colors.” Colors, on the other hand, might signify something else.
7. Real men, unless they were of the greatest social position, should, according to this, dress in undyed garments.
8. A notable feature of this hairstyle was that it required bleaching or chalking, and it was linked with a sect known as the Essenes, who adhered to a stringent interpretation of Jewish law.

As Mark describes it, Jesus’shimatia (which may refer to “clothing” or “clothes” rather of particularly “mantles”) began to shine “glistening, exceedingly white, as no fuller on earth could bleach them,” and eventually became “glistening, extremely white.” As a result, before his transfiguration, Jesus is depicted by Mark as an average man, dressed in ordinary garments, in this instance undyed wool, the kind of material that would be sent to a fuller for processing.

More information regarding Jesus’ attire is revealed after his death, when the Roman soldiers split his himatia (in this context, the term most likely refers to two mantles) into four portions, each of which contains a different piece of clothing (see John chapter 19, verse 23).

This cloak with tassels (tzitzith) is expressly mentioned by Jesus in Matthew 23:5 when he speaks of the kingdom of God.

A lightweight himation, typically constructed of undyed creamy-colored woollen material, and it was likely embellished with some sort of indigo stripe or threading, as was the case here.

3. Feet

Jesus would have walked about with sandals on his feet. Everyone walked about in sandals. Sandals from the time of Jesus have been discovered in desert caverns between the Dead Sea and Masada, allowing us to observe firsthand what they were like during the time of the Savior. The soles were made of thick strips of leather that were sewed together, and the top sections were made of leather straps that went through the toes. They were extremely plain and straightforward. Gabi Laron is the photographer that captured this image.

And what about Jesus’s physical characteristics? They were of Jewish descent. The fact that Jesus was a Jew (or a Judaean) is unquestionable since it is repeated in a variety of literary sources, including the writings of Paul, provides more evidence. Furthermore, as stated in the Letter to the Hebrews, “it is unmistakable that our Lord was descended from the tribe of Judah.” So, how do we see a Jew at this time, a guy who, according to Luke chapter 3, was “around 30 years of age when he began,” in this situation?

Will We See the Face of God in Heaven? What Will He Look Like?

Although man may only see “through a glass, darkly” or “through a mirror, dimly” on this planet, the Bible says that we shall see “face to face” with God in Heaven (1 Corinthians 13:12a) (1 Cor 13:12b). God will be shown to us in all of His unmasked splendor when we arrive in Heaven. Even in ancient times, the saints of the Old Testament were aware that they will one day view their God. As for David, he said, “As for me, I shall behold thy face in righteousness.” when he would see God. (See Psalm 17:15.) And John said in his apocalyptic literature (apocalyptic means “unveiling”) that we “will behold His face” in eternity, according to the definition of the term (Rev 22:4).

But has anyone on this planet seen the presence of God?

In Ancient Times

“You cannot see My face; for no one shall see Me and live,” God remarked to Moses at Mt. Sinai, according to the Old Testament, despite the fact that God talked to him face to face (Ex 33:11). (Ex 33:20). So, what exactly did Moses witness? He had a glimpse of God’s brightness as it went past him. God’s back was the only thing he saw: Exo 33:21-23 is a biblical passage. “Here is a spot beside Me, and you are to stand on the rock,” the LORD stated to Moses. As a result, I will place you in a fissure in the rock and cover you with My hand as My glory goes by.

So, what exactly did Isaiah witness?

In the Days of Jesus

• “.anyone who has seen Me has also seen the Father,” Jesus declared. “I and my Father are one,” says Jesus in John 14:9, and “I and my Father are one,” says Jesus in John 10:30. As John described it, “.we beheld his glory, the glory as that of the only born of the Father.” (John 1:14) Thomas addressed Jesus as “My Lord and my God!” (John 1:14). Similarly, Peter wrote that Jesus is “God and our Saviour” (2 Pet 1:1), Paul wrote that Jesus is “our great God and Savior” (Titus 2:13), and that the Christ. “who is over all,theeternally blessed God” (Ro 9:5)
• And many others wrote that Jesus is “God and our Saviour” (Titus 2:13). Even the verse in Revelation 22 that says, “We shall see His face.” is preceded by a verse that speaks of the unity of the Father and the Son (Rev 22:3-4)
• Even the verse in Revelation 22 that says, “We shall see His face.” is preceded by a verse that speaks of the unity of the Father and the Son (Rev 22:3-4)

These words demonstrate the oneness of the Trinity – one God manifested in three separate Persons — in their whole. What Is the Trinity and How Do I Understand It?

In Heaven, What will God look like?

The Bible does not provide us with a depiction of what God the Father seems to be like physically. As a result, we are unable to provide a clear answer. Being aware that Jesus is “the brightness of glory, and the express picture of His person.” is comforting. (Heb 1:3), we may draw the biblically supported conclusion that when we encounter God face to face, He will appear to us as Jesus! This should elicit feelings of amazement and wonder. While we will never be able to fully fathom the mystery of the Trinity, there are certain aspects of it that we can comprehend:

• The Father is Spirit
• The Spirit is Spirit
• The Son put on flesh and became completely man and fully God
• Those three Persons are One God
• And the Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God.

Because of this, it is legitimate to speculate that when we view the Triune God—Father, Son, and Spirit—what we will see is the face of Jesus Christ. We’ll be gazing into God’s eyes and realizing that we’re gazing into the eyes of our God and Saviour! Obviously, this is solely based on scriptural logic because, until we reach Heaven and stand before God, we can only speculate about what we will see there. More than that, when we finally meet God, His appearance will be far more brilliant and majestic than anything we can ever comprehend or even attempt to put into words at this time.

It’s conceivable that our finite intellect are incapable of comprehending any more information than that which God has previously shown to us.

In fact, it’s possible that God wants us to be surprised by His appearance in order to be filled with awe and astonishment when His splendor is completely revealed, when we “see Him for who He truly is” (1 John 3:2).
