Charles Spurgeon Commentary
"And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white [and] pure. And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God, the Almighty. And he hath on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KINGS OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS." — Revelation 19:14-16 (ASV)
And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword, that with it he should smite the nations: and he shall rule them with a rod of iron: and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
And this is the man of Nazareth. This is the crucified, despised, and rejected once. Servus servorum once. —Formerly servant of servants, but now King of kings and Lord of lords. And what will be the end of the battle that he wages? Will any of his adversaries escape? Will they hold their own? No, they shall utterly be destroyed before him.
All the powers of evil, of false doctrine, everything contrary to his mind—shall be destroyed. And this is set forth in symbolic imagery by the dreadful battle feast that usually follows a battle, when the vultures smell the carrion from afar and come to rend the spoil. It shall not be so with the bodies of men, but so with evil—so with the powers of darkness.
