Context of Revelation 19:13

11Then I saw heaven standing open, and there before me was a white horse. And its rider is called Faithful and True. With righteousness He judges and wages war. 12He has eyes like blazing fire, and many royal crowns on His head. He has a name written on Him that only He Himself knows. He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is The Word of God. 14The armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and pure, follow Him on white horses. 15And from His mouth proceeds a sharp sword with which to strike down the nations, and He will rule them with an iron scepter. He treads the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.

Commentaries on Revelation 19:13

• Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 13He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood - To show that he was just come from recent slaughter. The description is taken from Isaiah 63:2, Isaiah 63:3, where Judas Maccabeus, or some other conqueror, is described. The Word of God - Written in the Targum, and in other Jewish writings, דיי מימרא meimera daiya, "the word of Jehovah;" by which they always mean a person, and not a word spoken. See the notes on John 1:1, etc.Read the comment
• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 13And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood - Red, as if dipped in blood - emblem of slaughter. The original of this image is probably Isaiah 63:2-3. See the notes on that passage. And his name is called The Word of God - The name which in Revelation 19:12, it is said that no one knew but he himself. This name is ̔ ́ ͂ ͂ Ho logos tou Theouor “the Logos of God.” That is, this is his unique name; a name which belongs only to him, and which…Read the comment
• Matthew Henry Concise Commentary · v. 11-21Verses 11-21 Christ, the glorious Head of the church, is described as on a white horse, the emblem of justice and holiness. He has many crowns, for he is King of kings, and Lord of lords. He is arrayed in a vesture dipped in his own blood, by which he purchased his power as Mediator; and in the blood of his enemies, over whom he always prevails. His name is "The Word of God;" a name none fully knows but himself; only this we know, that this Word was God…Read the comment
• Tyndale Open Study Notes · v. 13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood: This may refer to: the blood of Christ’s enemies, showing his complete victory (Isaiah 63:2–4); or Christ’s sacrificial death for humanity (Revelation 1:7). The Word of God is John's unique name for Jesus (see John 1:1, 14).Read the comment
• Jamieson–Fausset–Brown Commentary · v. 1313. vesture dipped in blood--Is 63:2 is alluded to here, and in Re 19:15, end. There the blood is not His own, but that of His foes. So here the blood on His "vesture," reminding us of His own blood shed for even the ungodly who trample on it, is a premonition of the shedding of their blood in righteous retribution. He sheds the blood, not of the godly, as the harlot and beast did, but of the blood-stained ungodly, including them both. The Word of…Read the comment
