Notice the imagery drawn from Isaiah 63:2- (red boxed in section).
14 And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.
11 And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat
upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth
judge and make war.
15 And out of his mouth goeth a sharp sword [op. desc., Perg.], that with it he should smite the nations:
12 His eyes were as a flame of fire [op. desc., Thy.], and on his head were many crowns;
and he shall rule them with a rod of iron [clos. prom., Thy.]:
and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself [clos. prom., Perg].
and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God.
13 And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood:
16 And he hath on his vesture and
on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
and his name is called The Word of God.
Compare the high lighted texts (light blue and purple) with the text of Isaiah 63:
1 Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments from Bozrah? this that is glorious in his apparel, travelling in the greatness of his strength? I that speak in righteousness, mighty to save. 2 Wherefore art thou red in thine apparel, and thy garments like him that treadeth in the winefat? 3 I have trodden the winepress alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury; and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment. 4 For the day of vengeance is in mine heart, and the year of my redeemed is come. 5 And I looked, and there was none to help; and I wondered that there was none to uphold: therefore mine own arm brought salvation unto me; and my fury, it upheld me. 6 And I will tread down the people in mine anger, and make them drunk in my fury, and I will bring down their strength to the earth.
Isaiah 63:1-6
