“And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.”
'He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and his name is the Word of God' - the robe dipped in blood recalls Isaiah 63:2-3 (the warrior treading grapes in the winepress) and suggests both the blood of his sacrificial death and the blood of judgment against his enemies. 'The Word of God' (ho Logos tou Theou) is Christ's cosmic identity, the creative and revelatory principle of the universe.
