These verses are from the book of Revelation, which is a highly symbolic and metaphorical book of the Bible. The passage describes a vision of a white horse with a rider who is called Faithful and True. This rider is said to judge and make war in righteousness. The rider is also described as having eyes like flames of fire, many diadems on his head, and a name that no one knows but himself. He is also said to be wearing a robe dipped in blood and is called The Word of God.

The armies of heaven, dressed in fine linen, white and pure, follow him on white horses. From his mouth comes a sharp sword with which to smite the nations, and he will rule them with a rod of iron. He will tread the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty. On his robe and on his thigh is inscribed the name King of kings and Lord of lords.

This passage is often interpreted as a description of the second coming of Jesus Christ, who will come to judge the world and defeat evil. The white horse and rider are seen as symbols of Christ's power and authority, and the armies of heaven are seen as the angels who will accompany him. The sharp sword and rod of iron are seen as symbols of his power to defeat evil and establish his kingdom on earth. The robe dipped in blood is seen as a symbol of his sacrifice on the cross, and the name The Word of God is seen as a reference to the Gospel of John, which describes Jesus as the Word made flesh.
