Exegesis
The sentence opens with kai {καὶ | kaì} linking this vision to what precedes.
The appended title Basileus basiléōn kai kýrios kyríōn {Βασιλεὺς βασιλέων καὶ κύριος κυρίων | Basileús basiléōn kaì Kýrios kyríōn} consists of two parallel genitive-of-subordination constructions stressing supreme dominion. This structure, placed at the climax of the clause, emphasizes the rider’s universal sovereignty. Each English reconstruction preserves the dual locations, the participial nuance, and the paired genitives to reflect the original’s imagery and theological emphasis.
