Living tabernacle

In John’s vision, Jesus has bronze feet, a golden girdle, a face shining like the sun and hair as white as wool and snow (Revelation 1:13-15).

This seems to be a tabernacle image: The bronze altar, the gold of the holy place, and the shining glory of the cloud in the most holy place. Jesus is an upright human tabernacle, bronze feet planted on the ground and glorious head in the heavens.
