11. And I saw heaven opened; -

John is going to see something great.

and behold a white horse -

a winner. Pure and victorious.

and He who sat upon it called Faithful and True -

This is Christ. Remember chapter 1. Christ was the faithful and true witness.

and in righteous he judges and wages war. -

he brings judgment and punishment upon sin, He deals only in righteousness. This certainly is Christ.

12. And His eyes a flame of fire, and upon His head…except himself. -

He was adorned with power and glory. He had many victor’s crowns. Sounds just like the individual in chapter 1. That is Christ. His name was a name so extreme, so ultimate and so significant that no one ever experienced it. God only knows.

13. And clothed with a robe dipped in blood -

those whom he defeated for the cause of righteousness had spilled their blood on Him. He was a fighter.

and His name is called the Word of God. -

the rider can be none other than Christ. He is the Word of God. He is the one who is victorious. He won the battle. His robe is the one that is stained with blood.

14. And the armies which are in heaven, clothed in fine linen, white clean, were following him on white horses -

these are the faithful. These are the ones who followed after Christ. But their robes are not stained. They did not win the war. Christ won the war. They aren’t the King of kings. Christ is.

15. And from His mouth…the almighty. -

this is what he has done and what He can do. He is the almighty.

16. And on His robe and on His thigh He has a name written, -

we are going to learn who it is.

KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. -

This is Christ. Our leader.

17. And I saw an angel standing in the sun -

this angel certainly is from God.

and he cried out with a loud voice, saying to all the birds…for the supper of God -

all the birds assemble for the great supper. This is more of God’s judgment. We can tell by who it is that they eat.

18. in order that you may eat the flesh of kings…small and great -

the birds get all they want to eat. This is sure judgment upon the wicked.

19. And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies,…against His Army. -

this shows the real nature of the beast and his adversaries. No matter what they are constantly in opposition to Christ and His faithful.
