How would the appearance/age of Christ differ from his past 1st advent life?

Would Christ appear to be much older when He returns in the future

[hundreds of years elapsed since His birth] or would he

retain his youthful appearance upon his second advent?

How could he look young after all these years/centuries?

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;

Revelation 19:11-16
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Someone just say my name? It's not that incredible: we're called albinos.

Really, I don't think we can know what Christ will look like. Not only is it pretty much irrelevant, but it's quite simple: He will look how He will look.

The focus is on the miracle of His age and his progression..

I agree that He will look like how He will look.

However, the vision of meeting Christ is A VERY DEEP desire for many.

Humans always picture what they desire to see imaginatively.. even in dreams etc.

In fact, if How he would look would be irrelevant, we would have no

images of Christ and can you find anyone who has NEVER seen a painting

of Christ? Absolutely not. His imagined facial likeness is the most poweful
widespread likeness around..

Christians typically have a fertile imagination when it comes to Christ

hence what do you think about His age... since that WILL be miraculous

seeing that He was born centuries ago.

Interesting thought... regarding his age progression or non progression.

Hmmm ... you have a point. I think one thing that must be remembered is that being God, He is beyond and outside time seeing He created it. So why did He age on earth? So that we could relate to Him and see Him on our level (as 'human'), amongst other reasons. But is there any need for Him to have continued to age? I don't see any.
