Apocalipsis 19:16 Meaning and Commentary

Revelation 19:16

And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written,
&c.] This name, afterwards expressed, is said to be written on his vesture, in allusion to the custom of persons of note and eminence having their names interwoven in their garments, and which was sometimes done in letters of gold, as Zeuxis had ^F20; and it is expressive of the conspicuousness of Christ's kingdom, which now will come with observation; his judgments, the administrations of his kingly office, will be manifest, and he will reign before his ancients gloriously: and its being said to be written on his thigh may mean either that it was upon that part of his garment which covered his thigh; or else that it was also on his sword, which he sometimes girt upon his thigh. Mr. Daubuz has given an instance out of Victor Vitensis, of Clementianus, a monk, who had written on his thigh,

``"a manichee" disciple of Jesus Christ.''

And this being done in Africa, he supposes it to be a Phoenician custom continued. It may here denote the perpetuity of Christ's name, power, and dominion, which will continue to the latest posterity, ( Psalms 72:17 ) which spring from the thigh; and it may denote the subjection of his people to him, signified by the putting the hand under the thigh, ( Genesis 24:2 ) . And this name is

King of kings and Lord of lords;
which will well suit him now when he shall be openly King over all the earth; (See Gill on Revelation 17:14).

Apocalipsis 19:16 In-Context

14 Los ejércitos del cielo vestidos del lino blanco y puro de la más alta calidad lo seguían en caballos blancos.

15 De su boca salía una espada afilada para derribar a las naciones. Él las gobernará con vara de hierro y desatará el furor de la ira de Dios, el Todopoderoso, como el jugo que corre del lagar.

16 En la túnica, a la altura del muslo,
estaba escrito el título: «Rey de reyes y Señor de señores».

17 Después vi a un ángel parado en el sol que les gritaba a los buitres que volaban en lo alto de los cielos: «¡Vengan! Reúnanse para el gran banquete que Dios ha preparado.

18 Vengan y coman la carne de los reyes, los generales y los fuertes guerreros; la de los caballos y sus jinetes y la de toda la humanidad, tanto esclavos como libres, tanto pequeños como grandes».
