{A flame of fire} (phlox puros). As in the opening vision
of Christ in  1:14  ( 2:18 ). {Many diadems} (diad(886d)ata polla).
A new feature, but the dragon has a diadem on each of his seven
heads ( 12:3 ) and the first beast one upon each of his ten horns
( 13:1 ). So the victorious Messiah will wear many royal diadems
and not mere crowns, because he is King of kings ( 19:16 ). {And
he hath} (kai ech(936e)). Nominative active present participle of
ech(935c) either used absolutely as an independent verb (like
indicative) or in an anacoluthon, though autou (his) is
genitive. {A name written} (onoma gegrammenon). Perfect passive
participle of graph(935c) as in  2:17  (cf.  3:12 ). {But he
himself} (ei m(8820)autos). "Except himself" (common ellipsis of
the verb after ei m(885c), "if not"). See  2:17  3:12  for the new
name there described. See  14:1  for the name of Christ on the
forehead of the 144,000, and  17:5  for the name on the forehead
of the harlot. This word here supplements what Jesus says in  Mt
11:27 .
