 in his gloriﬁed humanity, is the only God of heaven and earth?

It is true that in Revelation Jesus is often referred to as the Lamb, but is this not merely a symbol of his outward projection into time and space as the Divine Innocence? He is also referred to at the same time as the Lion of the Tribe of Judah, which symbolizes the Divine Strength. As the Lamb he sits upon the throne of God and reigns, as God alone can reign. As the Lamb he receives Divine honors and adoration. The Lamb, "as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes," can be nothing else than a symbolization. When we read of the millions who surround the throne, "saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honor, and glory, and blessing," shall we think of more than one God on the throne? We read further:

"And every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and honor, and glory, and power, be unto him that sitteth upon the throne, and unto the Lamb forever and ever."
