‘And he has on his garment and on his thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.'

We may read ‘on his garment, even on his thigh' showing precisely where the name is portrayed. It is necessarily here, for to be on hand or forehead would be to mark Him as one of the redeemed, and He is the Redeemer. The name may be on the thigh because that is where oaths were once confirmed (Genesis 24:2; Genesis 24:9), thus emphasising His faithfulness to His covenant with His own. Alternately it may be because the sword was girded there (Psalms 45:3; Song of Solomon 3:8) and His name is another sword. His name speaks for itself. He is Lord of all and sovereign over all creation.
