Footnotes
Two weighty interpretive layers converge. First, the blood on the robe: the imagery draws primarily on Isaiah 63:1–3, where the divine warrior returns with garments stained from treading the winepress of judgment, suggesting the blood may be the enemies' (prefiguring the battle about to be described). Yet many scholars read it as the Lamb's own sacrificial blood (echoing Revelation 5), making the conquering Rider simultaneously the slain Lamb — both versions deliberately leave this open. Second, ὁ λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ (ho logos tou theou, "The Word of God") is the title that most explicitly connects this Rider with the prologue of John's Gospel (John 1:1, 14), where the eternal Logos who was with God and was God became flesh and tabernacled among us — the same Word who spoke creation into being now comes as conquering King.
