King Shaddai gave each of these captains a banner to display because of the goodness of His cause and the right He had to Mansoul. (Thou hast given a banner to those that fear thee that they raise up for the truth. – Psalm 60:4) Ten thousand men were given to Captain Boanerges, for he was the chief, and his banner’s name was Mr. Thunder. He wore black colors, and the emblem on his shield was the three burning thunderbolts.
