He was dressed in a robe dipped in blood
This phrase evokes a powerful image of Christ as the triumphant warrior. The Greek word for "robe" (χιτών, chitōn) refers to a garment worn next to the skin, often symbolizing one's identity or status. In the context of Revelation, this robe signifies Christ's divine authority and kingship. The phrase "dipped in blood" is particularly striking, suggesting both judgment and redemption. Historically, blood is a symbol of life and sacrifice. Here, it may represent the blood of Christ's enemies, indicating His victory over evil, or His own sacrificial blood, underscoring His role as the Redeemer. This duality reflects the comprehensive nature of Christ's mission—both as a judge and a savior.

and His name is The Word of God
The title "The Word of God" (Ὁ Λόγος τοῦ Θεοῦ, Ho Logos tou Theou) is deeply significant, linking back to the prologue of John's Gospel (John 1:1), where Christ is identified as the Logos, the divine Word through whom all things were made. This title emphasizes Christ's preexistence, divinity, and active role in creation and revelation. In a historical and scriptural context, the Word of God is not merely spoken or written communication but a living, dynamic force that accomplishes God's will. By bearing this name, Christ is revealed as the ultimate revelation of God, the one who perfectly embodies and executes God's purposes. This underscores the authority and power of Christ, who is both the message and the messenger, the one who brings God's truth and justice to fruition.

Verse 13. - And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood; and he [is] arrayed in a garment, etc. The idea here is evidently derived from Isaiah 63:3, "I have trodden the wine press alone; and of the people there was none with me: for I will tread them in mine anger, and trample them in my fury: and their blood shall be sprinkled upon my garments, and I will stain all my raiment" (cf. ver. 15). Probably the similarity of this passage has caused the reading, "sprinkled with blood," which is found in a few manuscripts. In the original passage in Isaiah, the blood is doubtless the blood of his enemies; but it is possible that there is here a reference to the blood of Christ himself, which he shed in his warfare with Satan. And his Name is called The Word of God. Only in St. John's writings does this title appear - a strong argument in favour of his authorship of the Apocalypse (cf. John 1:1; 1 John 1:1). This cannot be the "name" of ver. 12, which, as there explained, is unknown. This Name, the Word of God, is appropriately used when he is going forth to judgment.
