I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the pure wool: his throne was like the fiery flame, and his wheels as burning fire. Daniel 7:9

In the King James version this is part of the Book of Revelations - It is a 'vision' and so it does not refer to Jesus when he was on Earth. * Rev 1:14 His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;
Here is the reference: Revelation 1:14, 15 - His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; His feet were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; Thus John describes his vision of the appearance of the empowered Christ as He is in the heavenly realm. Like a parable, the elements of a vision represent something else. Unlike a parable, in which ordinary items or situations are presented to represent spiritual things, depicting a vision requires the teller to do just the opposite, and describe spiritual things in ordinary terms. This is far more of a challenge, to writer and reader alike. What becomes important are the concepts behind the images described. Another reference is in Daniel 7:9-10 which speaks about God himself, "I kept looking Until thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days took His seat; His vesture was like white snow And the hair of His head like pure wool. His throne was ablaze with flames, Its wheels were a burning fire. "A river of fire was flowing And coming out from before Him; Thousands upon thousands were attending Him, And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; The court sat, And the books were opened.…"
Answer:The Bible actually gives us two descriptions of Jesus: His human appearance... and how He looks today since His ascension into heaven."...He had no beauty or majesty to attract us to Him, nothing in His appearance that we should desire Him. He was despised and rejected by men, a man of sorrows, and familiar with suffering. Like one from whom men hide their faces He was despised, and we esteemed Him not." (Isa.53:2-3)"...among the lampstands was someone 'like a Son of Man,' dressed in a robe reaching down to His feet and with a golden sash around His chest. His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes were like blazing fire. His feet were like bronze glowing in a furnace, and His voice was like the sound of rushing waters. In Hiis right hand He held seven stars, and out of His mouth came a sharp double-edged sword. His face was like the sun shining in all its brilliance." (Rev.1:13-16)
Yes. The wool of a sheep is sheep's wool.
There's the Second Commandment, for one:"Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness of any thing that is in the heaven above [birds, clouds, planets], or that is the earth beneath [animals, bugs, trees, snakes, rocks, MEN], or that is in the water under the earth [fish, otters, whales]. Thou shalt not bow down to them, nor serve them: for I the Lord thy God am a jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the children unto the third and fourth generation of them that hate Me; and shewing Mercy unto thousands of them that Love Me and keep My Commandments." (Ex.20:4-6)One has to marvel when people say that someone or some thing "looks like Jesus"... considering that no one has the foggiest notion what He looked like.The only description the Bible really gives of Him is "how He looks today."There is, of course, the Bible's description of "how He looks today":"...standing among them was One who looked like Jesus who called Himself the Son of Man, wearing a long robe circled with a golden band across His chest. His hair was white as wool or snow, and His eyes penetrated like flames of fire. His feet gleamed like burnished bronze, and His voice thundered like the waves against the shore... and HIS FACE shone like the power of THE SUN in unclouded brilliance." (Rev.1:13-16 LVB Living Bible)Of course... if someone should desire to have this biblical description of Jesus on display... it would have to be "an image of the sun" -- which then takes us back to the Second Commandment, which forbids [things in heaven above].
