“And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.”
'The armies of heaven were following him, riding on white horses and dressed in fine linen, white and clean' - Christ's heavenly armies follow in white horses and fine linen garments, ready for the final battle. The white horses and clean linen signal victory and holiness.
Church Fathers on Revelation 19:14
“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.
