12 His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. He had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called The Word of God. 14 And the armies in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.

A. These verses give a graphic description of Jesus.

 He is on a white horse. His name is Faithful and True. He is the judge. He is the leader of the army (11)

 His eyes are alive with the flame of fire. He wears all the crowns. He has a name that only He can wear. (12)

 He wears a robe dipped in blood (His death on the cross). He is called the Word of God. John uses this term in his gospel and in the first epistle. (John 1:1-4; 1 John 1:1-3) (13)

 He has an army of soldiers clothed in white clean linen. The whole army is on white horses. (14)

B. All of these terms are descriptions of Jesus.
