Footnotes

1: “And His name is called the WORD OF GOD”

Is this a contradiction? In the previous verse, Jesus, the rider on the white horse, has a name no one can know, but here his name is given. If one tries to interpret this literally it seems like a contradiction. If one sees this as symbolism it makes perfect sense. Jesus is the revelation of God; that is what the title “Word of God” means. The same truth is expressed in John 1:1 where He is also called the “Word.” Yet as we saw in the verse prior to this one, there are aspects of God that we cannot understand. He has a reputation and a set of qualities that we can know because they are revealed to us; yet we should not think we know all there is about God because some of it has been withheld from us.
