# the hair of his head was like pure wool
Something about God's hair looked like pure wool. Possible meanings are that 1) it was very white or 2) it was thick and curly. (See: [[rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-simile]])
Possible meanings are that 1) it was very white or 2) it was thick and curly.

# His throne was flames ... its wheels were burning fire
This describes the throne of God and its wheels as if they were made of fire. The words "flames" and "burning fire" mean basically the same thing and can be translated the same way.
# its wheels
It is unclear why God's throne is described as having wheels. Thrones normally do not have wheels, but the text clearly states that this throne has some kind of wheels. Use a general term for "wheels" if possible.
