To those traveling by night, He is the Bright and the Morning Star. To those in the lonesome valley, He is the Lily of the Valley, the Rose of Sharon, the Honey in the Rock and the Staff of Life. He is the Pearl of Great Price. He is the Rock in the weary land. He is the Counselor. He is the Everlasting Father. The government is upon His shoulders.

He is the one who owns the cattle on a thousand hills. He is the One who split the Red Sea. He is the One who took the children of Israel out of Egypt in to the Promised Land. He is the One who humbled Himself, came to earth, healed the sick, raised the dead, cleansed the lepers, opened the eyes of the blind, and turned the water into wine.
He is the One who fed the 5,000, walked on water, and cast out devils. He is the One who humbled Himself, once again, and became obedient unto death – even the death of the cross. He is the One who died on the cross, rose from the dead, ascended to the right hand of the Father, and ever liveth to make intercession for us. And He is coming back very, very soon. He is Jesus Christ of Nazareth, King of kings and Lord of lords.
Jesus said, I and my Father are one (John 10:30). He said, “If you have seen Me, you have seen the Father.” (John 14:9) Jesus was God manifest in the flesh.
Revelation 1:10-18:
I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice like a trumpet saying, “Write what you see in a book and send it to the seven churches, to Ephesus and to Smyrna and to Pergamum and to Thyatira and to Sardis and to Philadelphia and to Laodicea.”
Then I turned to see the voice that was speaking to me, and on turning I saw seven golden lampstands, and in the midst of the lampstands one like a son of man, clothed with a long robe and with a golden sash around his chest.
The hairs of his head were white like wool, as white as snow. His eyes were like a flame of fire, his feet were like burnished bronze, refined in a furnace, and his voice was like the roar of many waters.
In his right hand he held seven stars, from his mouth came a sharp two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining in full strength.
When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he laid his right hand on me, saying, “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.
