And he hath on his vesture and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.
'His name written on His vesture and thigh' was partly on the vesture, partly on the thigh itself, where, in an equestrian figure, the robe drops. The thigh was touched in taking an oath, as the seat of strength: it symbolizes Christ's humanity, as, sprung from the loins of David, according to His covenant, and now the glorified "Son of man." His incommunicable divine name, "which no man knew," is on His head, Revelation 19:12 (Menochius). KING OF KINGS. Contrast Revelation 17:14; Revelation 17:17, the beast being in usurpation a king of kings, the ten kings delivering their kingdom to him.
