啟示錄 19:14-16 RCUVTS

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:11-21

The four names of Christ. There were three great enemies of Christ and his Church, each of which have been told of in the previous chapters of this book—the dragon, the first beast, and the second beast, or the false prophet. In the immediately foregoing chapters we have had told the destruction that came upon them that worshipped the beast. Generally upon them all by the outpouring of the seven vials; and then, more particularly, upon the city Babylon, which was the seat and centre of the... read more

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 19:14

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:15

And out of his month goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a red of iron. The description is still similar to that given in Revelation 1:1-20 . (see Revelation 1:16 ; Revelation 2:12 , Revelation 2:16 ). (For the last clause, see Revelation 2:27 ; Revelation 12:5 ; and cf. Isaiah 63:3 .) The symbolism is descriptive of warfare, victory, and judgment. "He" is emphatic: "he shall rule "— no longer the kings of the earth. The... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Revelation 19:16

And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written. What this means is doubtful. The following suggestions have been made: KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. As in Revelation 17:14 (but inverted), where, as here, it portrays the victorious career of Christ over the "kings of the earth." 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

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 19:15

And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword - See the notes on Revelation 1:16. In that place the sword seems to be an emblem of his words or doctrines, as penetrating the hearts of people; here it is the emblem of a work of destruction worked on his foes.That with it he should smite the nations - The nations that were opposed to him; to wit, those especially who were represented by the beast and the false prophet, Revelation 19:18-20.And he shall rule them with a rod of iron - See the notes on... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Revelation 19:16

And he hath on his vesture - That is, this name was conspicuously written on his garment - probably his military robe.And on his thigh - The robe or military cloak may be conceived of as open and flowing, so as to expose the limbs of the rider; and the idea is, that the name was conspicuously written not only on the flowing robe, but on the other parts of his dress, so that it must be conspicuous whether his military cloak were wrapped closely around him, or whether it was open to the breeze.... 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
