Adam Clarke Bible Commentary
He was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood - To show that he was just come from recent slaughter. The description is taken from Isa 63:2, Isa 63:3, where Judas Maccabeus, or some other conqueror, is described. The Word of God - Written in the Targum, and in other Jewish writings, מימרא דיי meimera daiya, "the word of Jehovah;" by which they always mean a person, and not a word spoken. See the notes on Joh 1:1, etc.
Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
vesture dipped in blood-- Isa 63:2 is alluded to here, and in Rev 19:15, end. There the blood is not His own, but that of His foes. So here the blood on His "vesture," reminding us of His own blood shed for even the ungodly who trample on it, is a premonition of the shedding of their blood in righteous retribution. He sheds the blood, not of the godly, as the harlot and beast did, but of the blood-stained ungodly, including them both. The Word of God--who made the world, is He also who under the same character and attributes shall make it anew. His title, Son of God, is applicable in a lower sense, also to His people; but "the Word of God" indicates His incommunicable Godhead, joined to His manhood, which He shall then manifest in glory. "The Bride does not fear the Bridegroom; her love casteth out fear. She welcomes Him; she cannot be happy but at His side. The Lamb [Rev 19:9, the aspect of Christ to His people at His coming] is the symbol of Christ in His gentleness. Who would be afraid of a lamb? Even a little child, instead of being scared, desires to caress it. There is nothing to make us afraid of God but sin, and Jesus is the Lamb of God that taketh away the sin of the world. What a fearful contrast is the aspect which He will wear towards His enemies! Not as the Bridegroom and the Lamb, but as the [avenging] judge and warrior stained in the blood of His enemies."
John Gill Bible Commentary
And he was clothed with a vesture dipped in blood,.... Either in his own, by which he became the Saviour of his church and people; or else in the blood of his saints, he now comes to avenge; or rather in the blood of his enemies, with which he appears as stained, before the battle is fought, the victory being sure, and their slaughter unavoidable: the metaphor is taken from persons treading in a winepress, whose garments are stained with blood of grapes; see Rev 19:15. Here may be also an allusion to the Roman general's vesture, which was sometimes purple or scarlet, in which he fought, as did Lucullus (s). And his name is called the Word of God; the name of Christ, often used by John in his Gospel, epistles, and in this book, Joh 1:1 Jo1 1:1. Of the signification, reason, and import of this name; see Gill on Joh 1:1. The reason why he is called by it here may be partly to express his greatness, glory, and majesty, this being a name which principally belongs to him, is a person, as the Creator of all things, and as previous to his incarnation; and partly because all the promises of God in his word, and which are all yea, and amen in Christ, will be now shortly fulfilled. (s) Alex. ab Alex. Genial. Dier. l. 1. c. 20.
Tyndale Open Study Notes
19:13 He wore a robe dipped in blood: This description may refer to (1) the blood of Christ’s enemies, signifying his total victory (Isa 63:2-4); or (2) Christ’s sacrificial death for humanity (Rev 1:7). • The Word of God is John’s distinctive designation for Jesus (see John 1:1, 14).
Revelation 19:13
The Rider on the White Horse
12He has eyes like blazing fire, and many royal crowns on His head. He has a name written on Him that only He Himself knows. 13He is dressed in a robe dipped in blood, and His name is The Word of God.

He underscores the power and prevalence of Jesus' intercession for believers, pointing to the efficacy of His atoning sacrifice and the sympathy of His loving heart as sources of encouragement and consolation.

Tozer emphasizes the significance of the promised Presence of God and the eternal Word of God, which transcends mere physical texts. He contrasts the fleeting interests of humanity, such as sports, with the lasting impact of God's Word, which embodies His mind and truth. Tozer calls for a profound awareness of God's presence and the transformative power of His Word, suggesting that true reality lies in recognizing and responding to these divine truths. He challenges listeners to prioritize the eternal over the temporary, urging them to listen to the breath of God that speaks life and truth.
Exceedingly Precious
By C.H. Spurgeon01CO 13:82PE 1:19REV 19:13Greek Word Studies preaches about the significance of the word 'diaugazo,' which means to shine through, depicting the breaking of daylight through the darkness of night. This word symbolizes the first gleams of the sun piercing the darkness, pointing to the day when Christ returns in glory to establish His 1000 Messianic Kingdom. The diligent use of the prophetic lamp is necessary until that day dawns, signifying the period of waiting until the fulfillment of prophecy when all truths in the Bible will lead to Christ, the source of all truth.
