——>Can some of the armies be men?
No. I agree with the following assessment:
Coffman’s Commentaries on the Bible (Rev 19:14)
And the armies which are in heaven followed him upon white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and pure.
And the armies which are in heaven followed him ... Any literalism here, as in most of the prophecy, is impossible. We agree with Pieters that this does not symbolize Christians. “It is an idea alien to the Scriptures to speak of Christians going forth again to wage war on evil, after attaining a heavenly rest.”[44] The Lord never depicted his sheep as organized in a campaign of destruction directed against the wolves! “The armies which are in heaven must be angelic armies.”[45] This also corresponds to the oft-repeated mention of a host of holy angels participating in the final judgment (Matt. 13:41,49,2 Thessalonians 1:7). The undeniable identification of the last part of this chapter with the final judgment is inherent in the makeup of this vast army. Caird thought these were Christians,[46] and Rist identified them as “the martyrs”;[47] but such views impose great difficulty in fitting them logically into the entire vision.

Revelation 2:26-27 And he that overcometh, and keepeth my works unto the end, to him will I give power over the nations: And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; as the vessels of a potter shall they be broken to shivers: even as I received of my Father.What does it mean to rule with a rod of iron? This has not happened yet. Who will Christ rule over? Perhaps the flesh which will be preserved when Christ returns (those days will be shortened) and we will rule with him(Rev 20:4).
