Revelation 19:11-16
1599 Geneva Bible
11 [a]And I saw [b]heaven open, and behold a white horse, and he that sat upon him was called faithful and true, and he judgeth and fighteth righteously.
12 And his eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns: and he had a name written, that no man knew but himself.
13 And he was clothed with a garment dipped in blood, and his name is called, THE WORD OF GOD.
14 [c]And the hosts which were in heaven, followed him upon white horses, clothed with fine linen white and pure.
15 [d]And out of his mouth went out a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the heathen: for he shall (A)rule them with a rod of iron, for he it is that treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
16 [e]And he hath upon his garment, and upon his thigh, a name written, (B)THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.

- Revelation 19:11 The second place of this Chapter (as I said verse 1) is of the victory gotten by Christ against both the beasts: in which first Christ is described as one ready to fight, unto verse 16, then is showed the battle to be begun, thence unto verse 18: lastly is set forth the victory unto the end of the Chapter. In this place do shine most excellent properties of Christ as our heavenly Judge and revenger, according to his person, company, effects, and names.
- Revelation 19:11 Properties belonging to his person, that he is heavenly, judge, faithful, true, just, in this verse, searching out all things ruling over all, to be searched out of none, verse 12, the trumpet, and the very essential word of God, verse 13.
- Revelation 19:14 The company or retinue of Christ, holy, innumerable, heavenly, judicial, royal and pure.
- Revelation 19:15 The effects of Christ prepared unto battle, that with his mouth he striketh the Gentiles, ruleth and destroyeth.
- Revelation 19:16 The name agreeing unto Christ according to the former properties, expressed after the manner of the Hebrews.
