Context of Revelation 19:13
11And I saw the heaven opened, and behold, a white horse, and one sitting on it, [called] Faithful and True, and he judges and makes war in righteousness. 12And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head many diadems, having a name written which no one knows but himself; and [he is] clothed with a garment dipped in blood; and his name is called The Word of God. 14And the armies which [are] in the heaven followed him upon white horses, clad in white, pure, fine linen. 15And out of his mouth goes a sharp [two-edged] sword, that with it he might smite the nations; and he shall shepherd them with an iron rod; and he treads the wine-press 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
