Revelation 19:16

Expositor's Dictionary of Texts - Revelation 19:1-21

Revelation 19:2 The real force of demonstration for Girolamo Savonarola lay in his own burning indignation at the sight of wrong; in his fervent belief in an Unseen Justice that would put an end to the wrong, and in an Unseen Purity to which lying and uncleanness were an abomination. To his ardent, power-loving soul, believing in great ends, and longing to achieve those ends by the exertion of its own strong will, the faith in a supreme and righteous Ruler became one with the faith in a speedy... read more

Expositor's Bible Commentary - Revelation 19:1-21

CHAPTER XV.THE PAUSE OF VICTORY AND JUDGMENT OF THE BEAST AND THE FALSE PROPHET.Revelation 19:1-21.THOSE who have followed with attention the course of this commentary can hardly fail to have ob served its leading conception of the book with which it deals. That conception is that the Revelation of St. John presents to us in visions the history of the Church moulded upon the history of her Lord whilst He tabernacled among men. It is the invariable lesson of the New Testament that Christ and His... read more

L. M. Grant's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 19:1-21

More Rejoicing in Heaven The prophet John hears in heaven a celebration of great magnitude (v. 1). How rightly so, for the true bride (the Church-Revelation 19:7) is there, and to see all the claims of the false bride forever rejected will cause deepest thanksgiving and praise to God. Her defiance of the truth of God in claiming to be the bride of Christ, while actually being a harlot, is a most revolting feature of her character. But God has refused this, and salvation, glory, honor and... read more

James Gray

James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Revelation 19:1-21

THE SEVEN DOOMS CONTINUED Continuing the last lesson we begin this with what we have come to recognize as the Parenthesis (Revelation 19:1-10 ), and which in this case is composed simply of four “alleluiahs.” Two are retrospective and refer to the fall of Babylon, and two are prospective, touching on the marriage supper of the lamb and the inauguration of the kingdom. The Lamb’s wife (Revelation 19:7 ) is the bride (Revelation 21:9 ) or the church, identified with the “heavenly Jerusalem”... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Revelation 19:14-16

(14) And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. (15) And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. (16) And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Having looked at Christ, in those most glorious and soul-comforting views in... read more

Matthew Henry

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 19:11-21

11-21 Christ, the glorious Head of the church, is described as on a white horse, the emblem of justice and holiness. He has many crowns, for he is King of kings, and Lord of lords. He is arrayed in a vesture dipped in his own blood, by which he purchased his power as Mediator; and in the blood of his enemies, over whom he always prevails. His name is "The Word of God;" a name none fully knows but himself; only this we know, that this Word was God manifest in the flesh; but his perfections... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Revelation 19:1-99

Revelation 19 HOW DELIGHTFUL IS the contrast as we pass into chapter 19! As before remarked, a word that characterizes Revelation 17.0 and Revelation 18.0 is “earth.” The Christian faith, which is centred in a heavenly Christ, has been debased into an earthly religion a scheme for producing an earthly paradise where men may have their fill of earthly joys. That kind of religion very well suits “the kings of the earth,” and “the inhabitants of the earth,” and “the great men of the earth,” and... read more

The vision of the exalted Christ: v. 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. v. 12.

And He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood; and His name is called The Word of God. v. 14. And the armies which were in heaven followed Him upon... read more
