AE 67 - As white wool, as snow (Revelation 1:14)

AE 67
As white wool, as snow,
signifies in respect to good and truth therein.
This is evident from the signification of "white wool"
as being good in ultimates;
and from the signification of "snow,"
as being truth in ultimates.
"Snow" means truth in ultimates
by reason of the water of which it is composed,
and its whiteness and brightness.
"White wool," signifies good in ultimates,
because wool upon lambs and sheep
has a signification like that of hair upon man;
and "lambs," and "sheep" signify good,
"lambs" celestial good, and "sheep" spiritual good.
From this it is that the "hairs,"
by which Divine truth in ultimates is signified,
are said to be "white as white wool, and as snow."

So also of the Lord, when He was transfigured:

His garments became glistening, exceeding white as snow,
so as no fuller on earth can whiten them.
(Mark 9:3)

And concerning the Ancient of Days, in Daniel:

I saw until the thrones were cast down,
and the Ancient of Days did sit,
whose garment was white as snow,
and the hair of his head as white wool.
(Daniel 7:9).

Garment also signifies the Divine in ultimates;
and the Ancient of Days, the Lord from eternity.
