Revelation 19:11

Verse 11

11. Heaven opened The seer, expecting the apocalyptic exhibition closed at Revelation 19:9, is magnificently surprised as he looks upwards and beholds the visible firmament opening, and through its portals the divine array descending to the earth.

White horse Note on Revelation 6:2.

Faithful and True Being the faithful impersonation of truth.

Make war He so overrules the wars of the world as to bring out the ultimate triumph of right.
