 The “many crowns” speak of His all-various and universal dominion, of His absolute supremacy in every circle of His headship and authority. (article #56776)
 Concerning “the name written,” concealed from all but Himself, it is the expression of the glory of His person. Whatever His dignity (and He is ever the eternal Son, whatever the relationships He may assume) He comes forth from heaven as Man; but, while this is the aspect here presented, the impenetrable character of His person abides. “No man knoweth the Son, but the Father.” “Name” in Scripture is the expression of what the person is as revealed-and as revealed in what He is for God. It will consequently express the secret relationship of this glorious Personage to His God and Father, into which none can penetrate, and which none can understand but Himself. (article #56776)
 "His eyes were as a flame of fire." That is, there is divine discernment in judging. (Notes on Revelation 19:11-21 by J.N. Darby)
 He has a glory that is essentially His own, distinct from that which was His reward and incapable of being shared with others; a glory which He has in His own right as a divine person. The name of the Lord here appears to express this, what He really is in His own nature. (Lectures on Revelation 19 by W. Kelly)
 Fire is always the emblem of judgment, and hence His eyes being as a flame of fire sets forth its all-searching penetrating character. (Lectures on Revelation 19 by W. Kelly)
 Eyes As a Flame of Fire: (See Rev. 1:14). (Revelation 19 Symbols by A.H. Burton)
 Many Crowns: Possession of all titles to sovereignty. (Revelation 19 Symbols by A.H. Burton)

J. N. Darby Translation

12
And his eyes are a flame of fire, and upon his head many diadems, having a name written which no one knows but himself;

W. Kelly Translation

12
His eyes were [asa] a flame of fire, and upon his head were many diademsb; he had [names written andc] a name written which no one knoweth but he himself;

WK Translation Notes

+
a
Lachman agrees with the T. R. and the KJV in reading "as." The Revisers rightly discard this on ample grounds.
b
The Revisers rightly give "diadems" rather than "crowns."
c
The Alexandrian and Porphyrian MSS. preserve the true text, in omitting the words in brackets.
