Snow, Snow, Snow

“…and He was transfigured before them, and His raiment became shining, exceeding white as snow; so as no fuller on earth can white them. (Mark 9:2-3)

On the mount of transfiguration Jesus’ clothing became as white as snow. The “Fuller,” the best launderer known in that day, could make them no whiter. The Bible says that when Jesus appeared on the isle of Patmos as He walked in the midst of the candlesticks (the seven churches), that “His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow… (Revelation 1:14)

The “white as snow clothing” in our text indicates holiness, righteousness and glory. There is nothing whiter or cleaner.  His “white as snow hair” in Revelation 1:14 identifies Him as the “Ancient of Days” found in Daniel 7:9.

A hymn writer wrote these words, “Oh worship the King all glorious above, and gratefully sing His wonderful love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days, pavilioned in splendor and girded with praise.”
