GS: Jesus is the LORD

The Bible declares Jesus as the Creator, the Lord Almighty
"He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn over all creation. For by him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things were created by him and for him." Col 1:15,16 "Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made." John 1:3
"Jesus has been found worthy of greater honor than Moses, just as the builder of a house has greater honor than the house itself. For every house is built by someone, but God is the builder of everything." Heb 3:3,4 Who built everything? Jesus Christ built everything.
Hebrews 1:10 says of Jesus Christ, "You, LORD, in the beginning laid the foundation of the earth, And the heavens are the work of Your hands." which is a reference to Ps 102:24,25 which states, So I said: "Do not take me away, O my God, in the midst of my days; your years go on through all generations. In the beginning, O LORD, you laid the foundations of the earth, and the heavens are the work of your hands"
Yes the Bible declares Jesus Christ to be the Lord God Almighty, the Creator of all things. In John 12:40,41 there's a reference to Isaiah 6:10, which John says, and I quotes, "Isaiah said this because he saw Jesus' glory and spoke about him." This is what John was referring to. This is what immediately preceded Isaiah 6:10 of which John indicates refers to Jesus. Isaiah 6:1-3 In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord seated on a throne, high and exalted, and the train of his robe filled the temple. Above him were seraphs, each with six wings: With two wings they covered their faces, with two they covered their feet, and with two they were flying. And they were calling to one another: "Holy, holy, holy is the LORD Almighty; the whole earth is full of his glory."
Thus Jesus is the Lord Almighty.
Evidence from the Book of Revelation
"I am the Alpha and the Omega", the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last" Rev 22:13
So, the “Alpha and the Omega” is also known as “the First and the Last”
"I am the First and the Last. I am the Living One, I was dead, and behold I am alive for ever and ever! And I hold the keys of death and Hades.” Rev 1:18 And “To the angel of the church in Smyrna write: These are the words of him who is the First and the Last, who died and came to life again." Rev 2:8
Thus Jesus is “the First and the Last” and as such is “the Alpha and the Omega”.
However, note it also says, "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." Rev 1:8 Just as it likewise says in Isaiah 44:6 "This is what the LORD says-- Israel's King and Redeemer, the LORD Almighty: I am the first and I am the last; apart from me there is no God."
