Revelation 19:10-12
1599 Geneva Bible
10 [a]And I fell before his feet, (A)to worship him, but he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellow servant, and one of thy brethren, which have the [b]testimony of Jesus, Worship God: for the testimony of [c]Jesus is the Spirit of prophecy.
11 [d]And I saw [e]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.

- Revelation 19:10 The particular history of this verse is brought in by occasion, and as it were besides the purpose, that Saint John might make a public example of his own infirmity, and of the modest sanctimony of the Angel, who hath renounced for himself the divine honors, and recalled all the servants of God, unto the worship of him alone: as also Rev. 22:8.
- Revelation 19:10 Which are commanded to bear witness of Jesus.
- Revelation 19:10 For Jesus is the mark that all the prophecies shoot at.
- 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.
