Revelation 19:7-14
New King James Version
7 Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for (A)the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready.” 8 And (B)to her it was granted to be arrayed in fine linen, clean and bright, (C)for the fine linen is the righteous acts of the saints.
9 Then he said to me, “Write: (D)‘Blessed are those who are called to the marriage supper of the Lamb!’ ” And he said to me, (E)“These are the true sayings of God.” 10 And (F)I fell at his feet to worship him. But he said to me, (G)“See that you do not do that! I am your (H)fellow servant, and of your brethren (I)who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God! For the (J)testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
Christ on a White Horse
11 (K)Now I saw heaven opened, and behold, (L)a white horse. And He who sat on him was called (M)Faithful and True, and (N)in righteousness He judges and makes war. 12 (O)His eyes were like a flame of fire, and on His head were many crowns. (P)He [a]had a name written that no one knew except Himself. 13 (Q)He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is called (R)The Word of God. 14 (S)And the armies in heaven, (T)clothed in [b]fine linen, white and clean, followed Him on white horses.

Revelation 19:7-14
King James Version
7 Let us be glad and rejoice, and give honour to him: for the marriage of the Lamb is come, and his wife hath made herself ready.
8 And to her was granted that she should be arrayed in fine linen, clean and white: for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints.
9 And he saith unto me, Write, Blessed are they which are called unto the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he saith unto me, These are the true sayings of God.
10 And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he said unto me, See thou do it not: I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren that have the testimony of Jesus: worship God: for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
12 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 he himself.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

Revelation 19:7-14
Living Bible
7 Let us be glad and rejoice and honor him; for the time has come for the wedding banquet of the Lamb, and his bride has prepared herself. 8 She is permitted to wear the cleanest and whitest and finest of linens.” (Fine linen represents the good deeds done by the people of God.)
9 And the angel[a] dictated this sentence to me: “Blessed are those who are invited to the wedding feast of the Lamb.” And he added, “God himself has stated this.”
10 Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he said, “No! Don’t! For I am a servant of God just as you are, and as your brother Christians are, who testify of their faith in Jesus. Worship God. The purpose of all prophecy and of all I have shown you is to tell about Jesus.”[b]
11 Then I saw heaven opened and a white horse standing there; and the one sitting on the horse was named Faithful and True—the one who justly punishes and makes war. 12 His eyes were like flames, and on his head were many crowns. A name was written on his forehead,[c] and only he knew its meaning. 13 He was clothed with garments dipped in blood, and his title was “The Word of God.”[d] 14 The armies of heaven, dressed in finest linen, white and clean, followed him on white horses.

- Revelation 19:10 The purpose of all prophecy . . . is to tell about Jesus, literally, “The testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
- Revelation 19:12 A name was written on his forehead, implied.
- Revelation 19:13 “The Word of God,” literally, “The Logos,” as in John 1:1—the ultimate method of God’s revealing himself to man.
