REVELATION—NOTE ON Revelation 19:12 The horse’s rider (v. Revelation 19:11) is the Son of Man. He has eyes... like a flame of fire and a sharp sword (see notes on 1:14; 1:16). His many diadems (crowns signifying royalty) show his supremacy as King of kings and Lord of lords. He is named the Word of God, for he is the greatest revelation of the Father (John 1:1, John 1:14; Hebrews 1:1). He also has a name written that no one knows but himself. The greatness of the Son of God can never be fully known (on “name,” see note on John 1:12–13).
