Amplified 2015 Translator's Notes:
Literal renderings, alternate translations or explanations.

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."
