And the armies which were in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean.

And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood: and his name is called The Word of God.

And I saw heaven opened, and behold a white horse; and he that sat upon him was called Faithful and True, and in righteousness he doth judge and make war.
