Read Revelation 19.11-16. In 19.11-16: The heavenly warrior. The heaven opened or the sky opened. The white horse symbolizes victory, but with nearly the opposite meaning as the white horse at 6.2. There the meaning was the one who starts wars, here the victory ends war. Elements of the description were used earlier: Faithful and True are names connected with the death of Jesus at 3.14. In verse 12: Eyes like a flame and the sword remind us of the exalted human of the opening vision (1.14). In verses 13-16: The robe dipped in blood and the wine press echo the judgment scene at 14.20. The rod was the mark of the woman's son (see 12.5). The name no one knows signals the person is beyond ordinary understanding (see 2.17), the Word of God is the third name given this figure, and the most revealing; it is connected with the image of the sword that comes from his mouth, for this is how the victory over evil will be won: by the word (19.12).
