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)
Isaiah 63:2 Why is Your apparel red, and Your garments
like one who treads in the winepress?
Proverbs 30:5 Every word of God is pure; He is a shield to
those who put their trust in Him.
