Revelation 19:11

Verse 11

Revelation 19:12

Verse 12

Knew; understood, in respect to its import and meaning. What the name itself was, is stated in the Revelation 19:13. (See John 1:1.) This declaration should make us very distrustful of any ideas which we may attempt to form of the nature of the divine Word, and of his relation to the Father, beyond the simple declarations of the Scriptures. Even the attempt to combine these declarations, for the purpose of giving to the result a general and systematic expression, is a very uncertain undertaking.

Revelation 19:13

Verse 13

A vesture dipped in blood; a common emblem of war. It is to denote, in this instance, the terrible destruction with which he should visit his enemies,–as is expressed distinctly Revelation 19:17-21.

Revelation 19:16

Verse 16

On his thigh; at his thigh; that is, upon the hilt of his sword.

Revelation 19:21

Verse 21

The remnant; that is, of those that had worshipped the beast.
