How Traditions Read This Prophecy

Apostolic (Oneness) Pentecostal'Who is this that cometh from Edom, with dyed garments...?' The LORD comes from judgment, His garments stained, having 'trodden the winepress alone.' Revelation shows this is the returning Christ, clothed in a vesture dipped in blood (Rev. 19:13-15), treading the winepress of God's wrath. The Avenger from Edom and the Lord Jesus are the one God; He who came once in mercy comes again in judgment.
JewishThe Divine Warrior returning from judgment on Edom, garments red with the blood of His enemies, having acted alone; God's vengeance and the year of redemption.
CatholicRead of Christ's victory and final judgment; the lone treader of the winepress, applied to the Passion (by some Fathers) and to the Second Coming (Rev. 19).
ProtestantThe returning Christ treading the winepress of wrath (Rev. 19:13-15); the Warrior who saves and judges alone.
AcademicA vivid Divine-Warrior theophany; Revelation 19 draws directly on its winepress and bloodstained-garment imagery.
