His name: King of kings and Lord of lords

Revelation 19:16 (ESV)

16 On his robe and on his thigh he has a name written, King of kings and Lord of lords.

Hence the name that this King bears upon His thigh and upon His robe dipped in blood is King of kings and Lord of lords (Revelation 19:16). It is etched upon His thigh, for the thick muscular thigh represents the strength of a king. There are many kings that have existed upon the earth that have had their rightful authority from Jehovah God. But this King is the King of kings! King over all of them. And all legitimate authority has been derived and on loan from this King. The Antichrist himself had fancied himself to be what this King is. He thought himself kings of kings and lord of lords. He had united all the leaders of all the nations of the earth under his rule. He had set himself up, he thought, as lord of all the earth. A counterfeit messiah. God over the nations of the earth. And now the Christ returns to show His authority and power, over the Antichrist too, who has been no king and no lord. This one is King of all the kings of the earth!1
