Verse 12
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.
Ver. 12. His eyes were as a flame of fire ] A quick sighted Judge, an intelligent warrior. "Counsel and strength are for the war," 2 Kings 18:20 .
And on his head were many crowns ] Let the triple crowned pope look to himself; Christ outcrowns him by far.
And he had a name written ] His holy and reverend name Jehovah, importing his Godhead; for he is "Jehovah, our righteousness,"Jeremiah 23:6; Jeremiah 23:6 . And as thus, no man knows the Son but the Father,Matthew 11:27; Matthew 11:27 ; for as God he is incomprehensible, Judges 13:18 ; "What is his name, or what is his Son’s name, if thou canst tell?"Proverbs 30:4; Proverbs 30:4 ; "Who shall declare his generation?" Isaiah 53:8 . Or by this unknown name may be meant his dignity of being Head of his Church; which is incommunicable to any other, Philippians 2:9 .
