Who is Jesus in the Apocalypse of John? This visionary book deploys a kaleidoscopic profusion of imagery to depict its chief protagonist. Jesus is portrayed as exalted revealer of prophetic mysteries, faithful witness and martyr, firstborn from the dead, Son of God, the Coming One, the Son of Man, the future judge of the world and giver of life, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the root of David, the Lamb who was slaughtered, the shepherd who guides his people to springs of the water of life, the child given birth by the woman clothed with the sun, the conquering Rider on a white horse, the bright morning star, the Lord of lords and King of kings, the one who is Alpha and Omega, and much more.1. © 2012 by Baylor University Press.
