Revelation of John 19:14
The armies which are in heaven ( τα στρατευματα τα εν τω ουρανω ). See 12:7 for Michael and angels warring with the dragon, and also Mt 26:53 for the angels at Christ's call, not to say Heb 1:6f.,14; Mt 13:41; Re 5:11f.Followed ( ηκολουθε ). Imperfect active and singular ( στρατευματα, neuter plural) of ακολουθεω, graphic picture of the celestial Warrior with his angelic hosts "upon white horses" ( εφ' ιπποις λευκοις ) like the Leader and, like him "clothed in fine linen white and pure" ( ενδεδυμενο βυσσινον λευκον καθαρον ) like the Leader again (19:8). Note ενδεδυμενο here as in 1:13; 15:6.
