Revelation 19:12

His eyes were as a flame of fire - To denote the piercing and all-penetrating nature of his wisdom.

On his head were many crowns - To denote the multitude of his conquests, and the extent of his dominion.

A name written, that no man knew - This is a reference to what the rabbins call the shem hammephorash , or tetragrammaton, Yhvh ; or what we call Jehovah. This name the Jews never attempt to pronounce: when they meet with it in the Bible, they read Adonai for it; but, to a man, they all declare that no man can pronounce it; and that the true pronunciation has been lost, at least since the Babylonish captivity; and that God alone knows its true interpretation and pronunciation. This, therefore, is the name which no man knew but he himself.
