Revelation19:16

1

The thigh was often associated with issues involving sexual reproduction or the ability to reproduce. For women, the thigh had to do with the ability to bear children. You may recall various places where the Bible talks about a woman’s thigh wasting away, meaning she is barren. For men the thigh represented the ability to reproduce sexually and was closely related to manliness. Think of the time Abraham had his chief servant swear to him that he would not find a wife for Isaac from the local population. He had his chief servant place his hand under his thigh. Why? It has in mind placing the hand under the thigh very close to the hip so the tips of the fingers would be close to the genitals. Thus without touching the genitals, they are the focus of the moment. In this case there is nothing sexual about it, so the only thing left is for “thigh” to be a sign of Jesus is a mighty and valiant protector. If you are on His side you are glad He is a mighty warrior; but if you are opposing Him, His fighting abilities should strike fear in your heart.
