Many fail to recognize the preexistence of Jesus Christ as YHWH, the God of the Old Testament, and as the Word in prehistory. Some hold a narrow view of monotheism, citing Deuteronomy 6:4, and believe there is only one God, one person, thus excluding Jesus Christ. Others consider Him a created being, merely human and unworthy to be God, misinterpreting Revelation 3:14 where He calls Himself the Beginning of the creation of God. Correctly understood, this phrase means the Beginner or Author of God's creation, as supported by Colossians 1:15-17, showing He is the Source of all creation. The New Testament clearly teaches that Jesus Christ was not created but is the Creator of all things, existing timelessly before His human birth. In Hebrews 7:1-3, Melchizedek, described as King of righteousness and peace, Priest of the Most High God, without beginning or end, mirrors the Son of God, pointing to Jesus Christ as a preexistent divine being. John 1 further confirms that Jesus, as the Word, was with God from the beginning, possessing self-sustaining life and giving both physical and spiritual life. Revelation 19 and I John 1:1-2 identify Him as the Word of Life, eternal with the Father. Jesus Himself declares His eternal nature, identifying as the I AM, the One who was, is, and is to come, the Almighty God known to Abraham. In John 1:18, He is uniquely positioned to declare the Father, having seen Him throughout eternity past. John 3:12-13 and 31-32 affirm that He came from heaven, knowing heavenly things firsthand. In Luke 10:18, Jesus states He saw satan fall like lightning from heaven, indicating His presence and active role in that event, demonstrating His divine power. John 6:45-46 reveals His claim to have seen the Father, possible only in His preexistent state as a divine being. In John 8:52-57, He asserts His existence before Abraham, identifying as YHWH, the I AM, which the Jews deemed blasphemous. Throughout John, Jesus uses the phrase "I am" in titles such as the bread of life, the door, and the light of the world, connecting to the divine name YHWH and affirming His preexistence as the God of the Old Testament. In John 10:30, He declares unity with the Father, stating, "I and My Father are one," reiterating the divine unity of Deuteronomy 6:4. Matthew 23:37 shows His personal anguish over Israel's history, reflecting real memories as the Lord who guided them from Egypt through the wilderness. Paul, in his writings, also identifies the Being who was with Israel in the wilderness as Jesus Christ, the same who became our Savior. Finally, in Revelation 22, Jesus Christ reaffirms His identity as the Ever-Living One, the Creator from the beginning, and the God of the Old Testament, bearing titles only God can claim.
