Rev. xxii. 13.—“I (Jesus) am the Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.”
This is too plain to be denied. Christ is the King of Israel, the Redeemer, the Lord of Hosts, the first and the last.
Psalm lxxviii. 56.—“They tempted and provoked the Most High God.”
1 Cor. x. 9.—“Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them also tempted.”
Christ must be, therefore, the Most High God.
Isaiah xxxvii. 5.—“For thy Maker is thy husband, the Lord of Hosts is his name.”
John iii. 29.—“He that hath the bride is the bridegroom.”
Psalm xxiii.—“The Lord (Jehovah) is my shepherd.”
John x. 16.—“There shall be one fold and one shepherd.”
Christ must be the Lord of Hosts.
