His Eyes - Revelation 1:14


Rev 1:14 The hair on his head was white like wool, as white as snow, and his eyes were like blazing fire.
White signifies His purity and here it is emphasized with two analogies.  He is the unblemished Lamb of God, without stain or imperfection. The wool was to be a part of the first fruits of the harvest.
His eyes see everything, there is no shadow or darkness that is able to withstand  His light.  The flame of His judgement will burn away any impurity.
Genesis 4:4 You are to give them the firstfruits of your grain, new wine and olive oil, and the first wool from the shearing of your sheep,
Daniel 7:9 “As I looked, “thrones were set in place,
and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow;
the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire,
and its wheels were all ablaze
Daniel 10:6 His body was like topaz, his face like lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and his voice like the sound of a multitude
1 Corinthians 3:13 their work will be shown for what it is, because the Day will bring it to light. It will be revealed with fire, and the fire will test the quality of each person’s work. 14 If what has been built survives, the builder will receive a reward. 15 If it is burned up, the builder will suffer loss but yet will be saved—even though only as one escaping through the flames.
Jeremiah 17:10 “I, the Lord, search the heart, I test the mind,
Even to give to each man according to his ways,
According to the results of his deeds.
1 Peter 1:7 These have come so that the proven genuineness of your faith—of greater worth than gold, which perishes even though refined by fire —may result in praise, glory and honor when Jesus Christ is revealed. 
Romans 8:27 and He who searches the hearts knows what the mind of the Spirit is, because He intercedes for the saints according to the will of God.
Proverbs 5:21 For the ways of a man are before the eyes of the Lord,
And He watches all his paths.
  1. the Lord had respect unto Abel, not unto Cain, &c.-- The words, “had respect to,” signify in Hebrew, --”to look at any thing with a keen earnest glance,” which has been translated, “kindle into a fire,” so that the divine approval of Abel’s offering was shown in its being consumed by fire ( see Ge 15:17; Jud 13:20).  -JFBC
His eye is upon us all.  His love and mercy have no end.
