Revelation 19:14

“And the armies which were in heaven, etc.] Not the angels, though they are God's host, and are the armies of the heavens; they are in heaven, and dwell there, and follow Christ, attend upon him, and minister to him, and have been sometimes represented by horses and horsemen, (<120211>2 Kings 2:11 6:17 <380108>Zechariah 1:8) and they are pure and holy creatures, and will come with Christ to judgment: but this vision refers not to the day of judgment; and besides, the saints are meant, as appears by their habit, for the fine linen, white and clean, is the righteousness of the saints, (<661908>Revelation 19:8) and the righteousness of angels and saints is not the same. Moreover, these are the…”

“the armies . . . in heaven--Compare "the horse bridles," Rev 14:20.

“And the armies which were in heaven followed him - The heavenly hosts; particularly, it would seem, the redeemed, as there would be some incongruity in representing the angels as riding in this manner.

Upon white horses - Emblems of triumph or victory. See the notes on Revelation 6:2. Clothed in fine linen, white and clean - The usual raiment of those who are in heaven, as everywhere…”

“19:14 Christ’s armies of heaven, dressed in victorious white and riding on white horses, contrast with the locust forces of the abyss (9:3-11), the three frog-like evil spirits (16:13), and the defeated armies at Armageddon (16:16; see also 19:19).”

“the armies: Rev 14:1, Rev 14:20, Rev 17:14; Psa 68:17, Psa 149:6-9; Zac 14:5; Mat 26:53; Th2 1:7; Jde 1:14 white horses: Rev 19:11 clothed: Rev 19:8, Rev 4:4, Rev 7:9; Mat 28:3 Revelation 19:15”
