. 4. And I wept much because no man was found worthy to open and read the book, neither to look thereon. 5. And one of the elders saith unto me Weep not:behold, the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book and to loose the seven seals thereof (Rev.5:5).

Rev. 3:5 (20:12; 21:27) He that overcometh the same shall be clothed in white raiment; and I will not blot out his name out of the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before my Father, and before His angels.

Jesus is the Pre-Existent Lord:


St. John 1:1-3, 10 & 14
In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him; and without Him was not any thing made that was made. He was in the world and the world was made by Him and the world knew Him not

And the Word was made flesh and dwelt among us and we beheld His glory full of grace and truth. (see also:1 Pet. 1:10,11; John 17:5,24; Phil. 2:511 & Eph. 1:3,4)

Thou art worthy O Lord to receive glory and honour and power: for thou hast created all things, and for your pleasure they are and were created.

Several New Testament Texts Identifies Jesus as the Creator of this world
John 1:10, Colossians 1:16 & Ephesians 3:9 Hebrews 1:1&2: 1. God who at sundry times and in divers manners spoke in time past unto the fathers by the prophets, 2. Hath in these last days spoken unto us by His Son, whom He hath appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds.

that with it He should smite the nations: and He shall rule them with a rod of iron: and He treadeth the winepress of the fierceness and wrath of Almighty God. 16. And He hath on His vesture and on His thigh a name written, KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS. Is Jesus God? Answer: YES!
