Who is the Warrior?

A major interpretive question is the identity of this warrior. While a significant historical view from commentators like John Calvin sees the figure as God the Father, most scholars (Spurgeon, Henry, Gill) identify him as the Messiah, Jesus Christ. They see this as a vision of Christ's future return as a triumphant conqueror, executing judgment on God's enemies.
