Not a do-over... New Creation

Revelation 1:14
White wool is a very interesting symbol.  It is certainly alluded to in Daniel 7:9.  However, the earlier picture that is given that has authority here is that of Isaiah , though your sins are “red as crimson, they shall be as wool”.  There is no doubt that the wool is the whitest since the earlier parallel in the verse is that sins will be white as snow.  So the white wool hair of Jesus indicates that He who became sin for us (2 Cor. ) has dealt with all sin in His own body and turned it into spiritual purity and cleanliness. 
This purity He provides as a gift to those who will come to Him and receive that gift of life.  The gift is available for the asking.  No one has had it injected into him or her in advance.  God worked out the details of His plan for dealing with evil by providing the cleansing blood transfusion we all need at the cross.  He did not provide it before that point in time.  ALL are welcome to come to the cross and receive life from Life Himself (John 1:4).  Come to Jesus Christ and live.
