The Rider on a White Horse

11 Then I saw (A)heaven opened, and behold, (B)a white horse! The one sitting on it is called (C)Faithful and True, and (D)in righteousness he judges and makes war. 12 (E)His eyes are like a flame of fire, and on his head are (F)many diadems, and he has (G)a name written that no one knows but himself. 13 He is clothed in (H)a robe dipped in[a] blood, and the name by which he is called is (I)The Word of God. 14 And the armies of heaven, (J)arrayed in fine linen, white and pure, (K)were following him on white horses. 15 (L)From his mouth comes a sharp sword (M)with which to strike down the nations, and (N)he will rule[b] them with a rod of iron. (O)He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. 16 On his robe and on his thigh (P)he has a name written, (Q)King of kings and Lord of lords.
