Revelation 1:18 I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death.
As the future was revealed to John he began to see just how important Jesus was, not just to him but to the whole world, past, present and future!
Jesus was not only a man who walked on this earth for some 33 years, but is, was and forever will be the Son of God. He also lives forever more after being raised from the dead after paying for our sins through His death and burial.
And now He has the sole right to judge us according to His righteousness!
