Revelation 19:11-14

Studimi

      

11 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.

12 His eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many crowns; and he had a name written, that no man knew, but he himself.

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

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

7024. 'And caused them to ride on an ass' means the ideas which would be of service to the new kind of intelligence. This is clear from the meaning of 'riding' as ideas that belong to the understanding, here the ideas which would be of service to the new kind of intelligence which will enhance the life of those who belong to the spiritual Church, 7016 (the reason why 'riding' (equitare) means those ideas is that 'a horse' (equus) means the power of understanding - see the matters dealt with in 2761, 2762, 3217, 5321, 6534); and from the meaning of 'an ass' as truth that is of service, in this instance to the new kind of intelligence, dealt with in 2781, 5741, and also as factual knowledge, 5492.
