Revelation 19:13

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God. VESTURE DIPPED IN BLOOD - (: cf. , end.) The blood there is not His own, but that of His foes. Here the blood on His "vesture," reminding us of His own blood, shed for even the ungodly who trample on it, prefigures the shedding of their blood in retribution: not that of the godly, as the harlot and beast shed, but of the blood-stained ungodly, including them both. THE WORD OF GOD - who made the world, is He who, under the same character, shall make it anew. Son of God is applicable, in a lower sense, also to His people; but "the Word of God" indicates His incommunicable Godhead, which, joined to His manhood, He shall manifest in glory. 'The Bride does not fear the...

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 manifest in the flesh; but his perfections cannot be fully understood by any creature. Angels and saints follow, and are like Christ in their armour of purity and righteousness. The threatenings of the written word he is going to execute on his enemies. The ensigns of his authority are his name; asserting his authority and power, warning the most powerful princes to submit, or they must fall before him. The powers of earth and hell make their u...

Verse Revelation 19:13. _HE_ 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, where Judas Maccabaeus, or some other conqueror, is described. _THE WORD OF GOD._] Written in the Targum, and in other Jewish writings, מימרא דיי _meimera daiya_, "the word of Jehovah;" by which they always mean a _person_, and not a _word spoken_. John 1:1, c....

AND 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. 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 Ὁ λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ Ho logos tou Theou, or “the Logos of God.” That is, this is his unique name; a name which belongs only to him, and which distinguishes him from all other beings. The name “Logos,” as applicable to the Son of God, and expressive of his nature, is found in the New Testament only in the writings of John, and is used by him to denote the higher

EXPOSITION REVELATION 19:1 AND AFTER THESE THINGS I HEARD A GREAT VOICE OF MUCH PEOPLE IN HEAVEN, SAYING; _after these things I heard, as it were, a great voice of a great multitude, _etc. The usual introduction to a new phase of a vision (see Revelation 4:1, etc.). The "great voice," as usual, characteristic of the heavenly utterances (see Revelation 5:2, etc.). Again, we are not told whose the utterance is. It may well be that of all the heavenly inhabitants and saints in glory (cf Revelation 7:9). As usual in the Apocalypse, at the termination of a description o

AND HE WAS CLOTHED WITH A VESTURE DIPPED IN BLOOD,.... Either in his own, by which he became the Saviour of his church and people; or else in the blood of his saints, he now comes to avenge; or rather in the blood of his enemies, with which he appears as stained, before the battle is fought, the victory being sure, and their slaughter unavoidable: the metaphor is taken from persons treading in a winepress, whose garments are stained with blood of grapes; see Revelation 19:15. Here may be also an allusion to the Roman general's vesture, which was sometimes purple or scarlet, in which he fought, as did Lucullus s. AND HIS NAME IS CALLED THE WORD OF GOD; the name of Christ, often used by John in his Gospel, epistles, and in this book, John 1:1...

Revelation 19:1. _And after these things I heard a great voice of much people in heaven, saying, Alleluia; Salvation, and glory, and honour, and power, unto the Lord our God: for true and righteous are his judgments for he hath judged the great whore, which did corrupt thee earth with her fornication, and hath avenged the blood of his servants at her hand. And again they said, Alleluia. And her smoke rose up for ever and ever. And the four and twenty elders and the four beasts fell down and worshipped God that sat on the throne, saying, Amen; Alleluia._ Heaven and earth are equally glad, and they unite to adore the living God when the great apostasy, that has so long cursed the nations, is hurled into the sea. Revelation 19:5. And a voice came out of the throne, sayi

THE VISION OF THE TRIUMPHANT CHRIST. This paragraph really forms an introduction to the closing section of the book, where at last, after many pauses and delays, we reach the real _dé nouement._ The last act of the drama falls into five scenes, of which this is the first. In this scene Christ is portrayed as a warrior riding on a white horse to the final conflict with Anti-christ. REVELATION 19:11. A WHITE HORSE: the same imagery is used in Revelation 6:2, but the white horse there does not represent Christ but the spirit of militarism. FAITHFUL AND TRUE: _ cf. Revelation 1:5_, Revelation 3:7;
