JESUS is the “God” in the First verse of the Bible
(Gen 1:1) and the “Amen” in the Last verse of the Bible (Rev 22:21). Jesus is prophesied as “the first and the Last” (Isaiah 41:4) “He who lives” (1:18) “I am he who lives, and was dead, and behold, ia ma live forevermore. amen. an di have the keys of had es and ofdeath.” (Rev 1:18)
Read Luke 24:1-12. Jesus rises from the dead “Why do you seek the living among the dead? 6 He isnot here, but is risen!” (Luke 24:6) “But he said to them ,“do not be al armed. you seek Jesus of nazareth, who was crucified. he is risen! he is not here. see the place where they laid him. 7 But go, tell his disciples—and Peter—that he is going before you into galilee; there you will see him, ashes aid to you.” (Mark 16:6-7). See Job 19:25; Mat 28:1-10; Jn 20; Rom 6:9; Jn 11:25
“Son of God” (2:18) “And to the angel of the church in thy at ira write, ‘These things says the son of God, who has eyes like a flame of fire, and his feet like fine brass” (Rev 2:18)
Jesus Claims To Be God’s Son See Mat 11:27; 14:33; 16:16,17; 27:43; Mark 3:11, 12; 14:61,62; Luke 8:28; 10: 22; John 1:18; 3:35,36; 5:18-26; 6:40; 10:35-37; 11:4; 17:1; 19:7; Rev 2:18)
Son of God Term used to express the deity of Jesus of Nazareth as the one, unique Son of God. In the OT certain men and angels (Gen. 6:1-4; Ps. 29: 1; 82:6; 89:6) are called “sons of God.”
The people of Israel were corporately considered the sons of God (Exod. 4:22; Jer. 31:20; Hos. 11:1). The concept also is employed in the OT with reference to the king as God’s son (Ps. 2:7). The prom- ises found in the Davidic covenant (2 Sam. 7:14) are the source for this special filial relationship.
Jesus’ own assertions and intimations indicate that references to Him as Son of God can be traced to Jesus Himself. At the centre of Jesus’ identity in the Fourth Gospel is His divine Sonship (John 10:36). Jesus conceived of His divine Sonship as unique as indicated by such assertions as “the Father and I are one” (John 10:30) and the “Father is in Me and I in the Father” (John 10:38). Elsewhere, He frequently referred to God as “My Father” (John 5:17; 6:32; 8:54; 10:18; 15:15; Matt. 7:21;
