启示录 19:13-14 CUVS

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:11-21

The holy war. There now opens to our view another scene of warfare. It is brief, comprehensive, and decisive. It is a view of the heavenlies. The conflict is between the heavenly and the earthly powers. It is a "representation of the conquest of the kingdoms to Christ, which, like all his conquests, is accomplished by the power of the truth, wielded by a faithful Church, and rendered efficacious by the power of his Spirit." I. THE COMBATANTS ARE DISTINCTLY BROUGHT TO VIEW ... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:13

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood; and he [is] arrayed in a garment, etc. The idea here is evidently derived from Isaiah 63:3 , "I have trodden the wine press alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury: and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment" (cf. Isaiah 63:15 ). Probably the similarity of this passage has caused the reading, "sprinkled with blood," which... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:13

Intense earnestness of being. "Clothed in a vesture dipped in blood." What was the "blood" that dyed the robes of the illustrious Chieftain? Not that crimson fluid that streams from the veins of slaughtered men. It may be regarded— I. AS A SYMBOL OF HIS OWN AGONIZING EARNESTNESS . In Gethsemane it is said that he "sweated great drops of blood." It was earnestness. The man who wrote the Epistle to the Hebrews speaks of those who have not resisted unto blood, "striving... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:13

The Word of God. "The Word of God." The infinite Father has spoken two great words to his intelligent family. One word is nature. "The heavens declare his glory," etc. The other word is Christ. He is the Logos. The latter word is specially addressed to fallen humanity, and is a soul-redeeming word. In relation to this Word the following things may be predicated. He is— I. THE WORD OF ABSOLUTE INFALLIBILITY . Conventionally, men call the Scriptures the Word of God. Mere... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:14

And the amiss which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean; which are … white, pure. These armies are not merely the angels, but the "called, chosen, and faithful" of Revelation 17:14 , "the bride" of Revelation 17:8 , who are described as being arrayed in white in Revelation 6:11 , and Revelation 6:8 of this chapter. Those commentators who consider that the angels only are intended, and not the saints, forget the double nature of... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:14

Armies invisible and distant on the side of good. "The armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean." Heaven, it would seem, is populated with numerous intelligent beings, existing in various types of condition, influence, power, etc. It is suggested— I. THE HOSTS OF HEAVEN ARE INTERESTED IN THE MORAL CAMPAIGN WHICH CHRIST IS PROSECUTING ON THIS EARTH . They not only know what is going on in this... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 19:13

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 63:2-3. 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 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... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 19:14

And the armies which were in heaven followed him - The heavenly hosts; particularly, it would seem, the redeemed, as there would be some incongruity in representing the angels as riding in this manner. Doubtless the original of this picture is Isaiah 63:3; “I have trodden the wine-press alone, and of the people there was none with me.” These hosts of the redeemed on white horses accompany him to be witnesses of his victory, and to participate in the joy of the triumph, not to engage in the work... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 19:11-16

Revelation 19:11-16. And I saw heaven opened This is a new and peculiar opening of it, in order to show the magnificent expedition of Christ and his attendants against his great adversary; and behold a white horse Many paid little regard to Christ when he came meek and lowly, riding upon an ass: but what will they say or think, when he comes forth upon his white horse, with the sharp sword of his mouth? The white horse, on which Christ is represented as riding, was intended to... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Revelation 19:11-21

19:11-20:15 THE TRIUMPH OF GODUp till now the visions have mainly been concerned with the power of evil and the sufferings of believers. Persecuted Christians have been encouraged to endure their trials by the assurance that God is still in control. He guards his people, allowing the wicked to exercise their power only within the limits that he has set according to his eternal plan. Leaving behind the subject of the power of evil in the world, the visions now move on to their climax. They... read more
