He was clothed with a robe dipped in blood, and His name is
called The Word of God.

Isa 63:2 is alluded to
here, and in Rev 19:15 ,
end. There the blood is not His
own, but that of His foes. So here the blood on His "vesture,"
reminding us of His own blood
shed for even the ungodly who trample on it, is a premonition of the shedding
of their blood in righteous
retribution. He sheds the blood, not of the godly, as the harlot and beast did,
but of the blood-stained ungodly, including them both (JFB)

The Word
of God--who made the world, is He also who under the same character and
attributes shall make it anew. His title, Son of God, is applicable in a lower sense, also to His people;
but "the Word of God" indicates His incommunicable Godhead, joined to
His manhood, which He shall then manifest in glory. (JFB)
