“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.”
I saw heaven standing open and there before me was a white horse, whose rider is called Faithful and True; with justice he judges and wages war - Jesus appears on a white horse (symbolizing victory), called 'Faithful and True,' judging and making war with justice. His titles emphasize his reliability and his commitment to righteous judgment.
Church Fathers on Revelation 19:11
“And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True.” The horse, and He that sits upon him, sets forth our Lord coming to His kingdom with the heavenly army. Because from the sea of the north, which is the Arabian Sea, even to the sea of Phœnice, and even to the ends of the earth, they will command these greater parts in the coming of the Lord Jesus, and all the souls of the nations will be assembled to judgment.
