Just going from memory here, but of all the figures John encounters in Revelation aren't there only two that are described as having feet? Jesus and the woman clothed with the sun?

I'm thinking perhaps in the conventions of the apocalyptic literature written at that time this has some symbolic meaning to the writer and the first readers.

Then again, maybe not.

You may be right. Ask me again in about four weeks when I'm totally finished with a Bible Study of Revelation.

We have already talked about the brass feet of Jesus. Brass in the Bible represent steadfastness and standing firm for truth.
