11 I saw heaven was opened. A white horse was standing there. Its rider was called Trustworthy and True. He is right when he judges, and he is right when he makes war. 12 His eyes were like flaming fire. On his head were many crowns. He had a name written on him which no one but he himself knows. 13 He wore a robe covered in blood, and his name is The Word of God.

14 Heaven’s armies were following him, riding on white horses and clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 From his mouth came a sharp sword to strike the nations. He will rule them with an iron rod,* and he himself treads the winepress of the All-powerful God’s judgment.* 16 Written on his robe and on his thigh was the name, King of kings and Lord of lords.
