John 19:5
5Then
Jesus came out, wearing the crown of thorns and the purple robe. And Pilate said to them, “Behold the Man!”
Revelation 1:1-20
The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His
servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified it
by His angel to His servant John, 2who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus
Christ, to all things that he saw. 3Blessed is he who reads and those who hear the words of
this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time is
near. 4John, to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to you and peace
from Him who is and who was and who is to come, and from the seven Spirits who
are before His throne, 5and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn from
the dead, and the ruler over the kings of the earth. To Him who loved us and
washed us from our sins in His own blood, 6 and has made us kings and
priests to His God and Father, to Him be glory and dominion forever and
ever. Amen. 7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye
will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will
mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen. 8 “I am the Alpha and the
Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who
was and who is to come, the Almighty.” 9 I, John, both your
brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus
Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the
testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s
Day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, 11 saying,
“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see,
write in a book and send it to the seven churches which are in Asia: to
Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and
to Laodicea.” 12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with
me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in
the midst of the seven lampstands One like the Son of Man, clothed with
a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His
head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like
a flame of fire; 15 His feet were like fine brass, as if
refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; 16 He
had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged
sword, and His countenance was like the sun shining in its strength. 17 And
when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me,
saying to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. 18 I
am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen.
And I have the keys of Hades and of Death. 19 Write the things
which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take
place after this. 20 The mystery of the seven stars which you
saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the
angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands which you saw are the
seven churches.

Ruler over the Kings of the Earth
Revelation
12:3-5
3And another sign appeared
in heaven: behold, a great, fiery red dragon having seven heads and ten horns,
and seven diadems on his heads. 4 His tail drew a third of the
stars of heaven and threw them to the earth. And the dragon stood before the
woman who was ready to give birth, to devour her Child as soon as it was born. 5 She bore a male Child who was to rule all nations
with a rod of iron. And her Child was caught up to God and His
throne.
Psalm
2:8-9
8Ask of Me, and I will give You The nations for Your
inheritance, And the ends of the earth for Your possession. 9You shall break them with a rod of iron; You shall
dash them to pieces like a potter’s vessel.”

Every eye shall see
Him…

opposites in order to accentuate the whole. God is the beginning and the end

The Son of Man
Revelation
1:12-15
12Then I turned to see the
voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13and in the midst of the
seven lampstands One like the Son
of Man clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the
chest with a golden band. 14His head and hair were white like wool, as white as snow,
and His eyes like a flame of fire; 15His feet were like
fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many
waters.
Jesus is still
human… He did not loose His humanity when He rose from the dead.
