The Horseman \Faithful and True\ and the Army of Heaven on White Horses and the Horseman in the Winepress; Dyson Perrins Apocalypse, about 1255-1260. Additional Info: In this vision, Saint John sees the heavens open, revealing a white horse that symbolizes victory. Its rider, called "faithful and true," is usually understood as Christ. Following him are the armies of heaven, all riding white horses. The double-edged sword that comes from the first rider's mouth is the word of God, Christ's only weapon. The rider appears a second time below, treading "the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of the all-powerful God." (Apocalypse 19:15) On his garment is written 'rex regu[m] et domin[us] d[omi]nantium' (king of kings and lord of lords).
