Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Revelation 19:14

And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure.And the armies which are in heaven followed him ... Any literalism here, as in most of the prophecy, is impossible. We agree with Pieters that this does not symbolize Christians. "It is an idea alien to the Scriptures to speak of Christians going forth again to wage war on evil, after attaining a heavenly rest."[44] The Lord never depicted his sheep as organized in a campaign of destruction... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Revelation 19:11-21

Revelation 19:11-21. I saw heaven opened, &c.— It was said by the angel, speaking of the kings subject to the beast, These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them, &c. ch. Revelation 17:14. and this vision is added by way of enlargement and explanation of that great event. Heaven is opened, and our Saviour cometh forth, riding upon a white horse, as a token of his victory and triumph over his enemies. He is described in such characters as are appropriated to him... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 19:11

11. behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him—identical with :-. Here as there he comes forth "conquering and to conquer." Compare the ass-colt on which He rode into Jerusalem (Matthew 21:1-7). The horse was used for war: and here He is going forth to war with the beast. The ass is for peace. His riding on it into Jerusalem is an earnest of His reign in Jerusalem over the earth, as the Prince of peace, after all hostile powers have been overthrown. When the security of the world power,... read more

12. Identifying Him with the Son of man similarly described, :-. many crowns—Greek, "diadems": not merely (Greek, "stephanoi") garlands of victory, but royal crowns, as KING OF KINGS. Christ's diadem comprises all the diadems of the earth and of heavenly powers too. Contrast the papal tiara composed of three diadems. Compare also the little horn (Antichrist) that overcomes the three horns or kingdoms, Daniel 7:8; Daniel 7:24 (Quære, the Papacy? or some three kingdoms that succeed the papacy,... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Revelation 19:13

13. vesture dipped in blood— Isaiah 63:2 is alluded to here, and in Revelation 19:15, end. There the blood is not His own, but that of His foes. So here the blood on His "vesture," reminding us of His own blood shed for even the ungodly who trample on it, is a premonition of the shedding of their blood in righteous retribution. He sheds the blood, not of the godly, as the harlot and beast did, but of the blood-stained ungodly, including them both. The Word of God—who made the world, is He also... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 19:11

John saw another scene in heaven (Gr. kai eidon, "And I saw"). He now saw heaven standing open (cf. Ezekiel 1:1), not just a door open (Revelation 4:1) or the heavenly temple open (Revelation 11:19). A white horse symbolizes victory over one’s enemies (cf. 2 Corinthians 2:14). Here John saw Christ rather than Antichrist (Revelation 6:2) riding a white horse (cf. Isaiah 62:11). John described Him as Faithful (trustworthy) and True (righteous, the real Messiah; cf. Revelation 1:5; Revelation 3:7;... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 19:11-16

2. The return of Christ to earth 19:11-16On the one hand, the return of Jesus Christ to the earth is the climax of all that has gone before in Revelation. On the other, it is the first of seven final things that John saw and recorded. These things were Christ’s return, Satan’s capture, Satan’s binding, the Millennium, Satan’s final end, the last judgment, and the new heavens and earth, including the New Jerusalem. [Note: See David J. MacLeod, The Seven Last Things.] These events are in... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 19:12

Jesus Christ’s eyes suggest His piercing judgment of sin that takes everything into account (cf. Revelation 1:14; Revelation 2:18). His many diadems (Gr. diadema, regal crowns, cf. Revelation 12:3; Revelation 13:1) symbolize His right to rule the world as King of kings. [Note: Caird, p. 241; Robertson, 6:451-52; David J. MacLeod, "The First ’Last Thing’: The Second Coming of Christ (Revelation 19:11-16)," Bibliotheca Sacra 156:622 (April-June 1999):213.] "Christ, who refused the diadem when [it... read more

Thomas Constable

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Revelation 19:13

The blood on His robe is probably the blood of his enemies, in view of the context (cf. Isaiah 63:2-3). John did not see Christ as the redeemer in this vision but as the warrior and judge. As many of the symbols in this passage, this one is also proleptic, anticipating His victory. The "Word of God" is a familiar title signifying that He is the expression of God’s mind and heart (Isaiah 49:2; John 1:1; John 1:14; cf. 1 John 1:1; Hebrews 1:1). This "word" includes prophecies about God’s purposes... read more
