And the armies... — The words “which were” should be omitted. The armies in heaven followed Him. Some would limit these to angels. The apparel which they wear — the fine linen (byssus) “which is the righteousness of saints” (see Revelation 19:8) — is conclusive against this limited view. The saints who have fought the good fight here, and who loved not their lives unto the death, will share the triumph of their king. (Comp. also Revelation 17:14.) The horses upon which they are seated are white. The raiment they wear is white, pure. (Comp. Revelation 19:8, and Revelation 3:4; Revelation 7:14.) The hue of triumph is here, but it is the triumph of righteousness. (Comp. also Ezekiel 38:4.)
