The Depiction of Christ in Terms Suggesting Deity

The Trinitarian framework of Revelation. Jesus Christ is the primary subject of John’s revelation (1:1), and his return to earth as the victorious messianic king is the main message of the book.371 From the very beginning, the glorified Jesus is presented within a Trinitarian framework:

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, and from Jesus Christ the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of kings on earth. (1:4–5)
