Revelation 19:12

His eyes are like a fiery ¹  flame and there are many diadem crowns ²  on his head. He has ³  a name written ⁴  that no one knows except himself.

Ge 32:29; Ex 23:21; Jud 13:18; Ps 8:5; So 3:11; Isa 9:6; Isa 62:3; Zec 9:16; Mt 11:27; Mt 21:5; Mt 28:18; Lu 10:22; Heb 2:9; Re 1:14; Re 2:17; Re 2:18; Re 3:12; Re 6:2; Re 12:3; Re 13:1; Re 19:16

¹ tn The genitive noun πυρός (puros) has been translated as an attributive genitive (see also Rev 1:14).

² tn For the translation of διάδημα (diadhma) as “diadem crown” see L&N 6.196.

sn Diadem crowns were a type of crown used as a symbol of the highest ruling authority in a given area, and thus often associated with kingship.

³ tn Grk “head, having.” Because of the length and complexity of the Greek sentence, a new sentence was started here in the translation.

⁴ tn Although many translations supply a prepositional phrase to specify what the name was written on (“upon Him,” NASB; “on him,” NIV), there is no location for the name specified in the Greek text.
