² And the Lord said, ^(A)“Judah shall go up. Indeed I have delivered the land into his hand.”

⁵ But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, ^(A)the Lion of the tribe of ^(B)Judah, ^(C)the Root of David, has ^(D)prevailed to open the scroll ^(E)and ^[a]to loose its seven seals.”

Christ on a White Horse

^11 (A)Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, ^(B)a white horse. And He who sat on him was called ^(C)Faithful and True, and ^(D)in righteousness He judges and makes war. ^12 (E)His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. ^(F)He ^[a]had a name written that no one knew except Himself. ^13 (G)He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called ^(H)The Word of God. ^14 (I)And the armies in heaven, ^(J)clothed in ^[b]fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses. ¹⁵ Now ^(K)out of His mouth goes a ^[c]sharp sword, that with it He should strike the nations. And ^(L)He Himself will rule them with a rod of iron. ^(M)He Himself treads the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. ¹⁶ And ^(N)He has on His robe and on His thigh a name written:

^(O)KING OF KINGS AND
LORD OF LORDS.

¹⁴ For it is evident that ^(A)our Lord arose from ^(B)Judah, of which tribe Moses spoke nothing concerning ^[a]priesthood.

¹² And the one who offered his offering on the first day was ^(A)Nahshon the son of Amminadab, from the tribe of Judah.

³ On the ^(A)east side, toward the rising of the sun, those of the standard of the forces with Judah shall camp according to their armies; and ^(B)Nahshon the son of Amminadab shall be the leader of the children of Judah.”
