Notes and references
In John the Apostle’s vision (Rev 19), he sees Christ returning as Warrior-Messiah-King, and “… His name is called The Word of God… and LORD OF LORDS.” (Rev 19:13, 16).
In this phrase, “God” appears first in the Greek word order, emphasizing the fact that “the Word” (Christ) was God—so “God Himself.”
