Revelation 19:11–16
John sees him on a white horse, called Faithful and True
Study it word by word11And I saw heaven opened, and look, a white horse, and the one who sat on it is called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he judges and makes war.
12And his eyes are a flame of fire, and on his head are many diadems, having a name written that no one knows except he himself.
13And he is clothed in a garment dipped in blood, and his name is called the Word of God.
14And the armies that are in heaven were following him on white horses, clothed in white, pure fine linen.
15And out of his mouth comes a sharp sword, so that with it he may strike the nations; and he will shepherd them with an iron rod; and he treads the winepress of the wine of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.
16And on his garment and on his thigh he has a name written: King of kings and Lord of lords.
In its context
9And he says to me, “Write: Happy are those who have been invited to the supper of the wedding of the Lamb.” And he says to me, “These are the true words of God.”
10And I fell at his feet to worship him. And he says to me, “See that you do not! I am a fellow slave of yours and of your brothers who hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”
…
17And I saw an angel standing in the sun, and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds that fly in midheaven, “Come, gather for the great supper of God,
18so that you may eat the flesh of kings and the flesh of commanders and the flesh of the mighty and the flesh of horses and of those who sit on them, and the flesh of all, both free and slave, and small and great.”
