Here are some of the ways the crucified, risen, ascended, and enthroned Jesus describes himself in the Book of Revelation:

• Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one. I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.
• him who holds the seven stars in his right hand, who walks among the seven golden lampstands
• the first and the last, who died and came to life
• him who has the sharp two-edged sword
• the Son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and whose feet are like burnished bronze
• him who has the seven spirits of God and the seven stars
• the holy one, the true one, who has the key of David, who opens and no one will shut, who shuts and no one opens
• the Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God’s creation
• I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
• I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.
