Regarding Image of God, All Power, Alpha and Omega, and Other Matters

The following provides some quotes from one who commented on "Is Jesus the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob?".
The Son of man, Son of God, Lord and Savior is the the every Image of God,
In the expression, “image of God”, “God” does not refer to Jesus.

the most High Elohim,( His father),
Yes, Jesus is the Son of the Most High; Jesus is not the Most High, the only true Supreme Being, the source of all. — Genesis 14:22Psalm 7:1783:1892:1Luke 1:32John 13:1617:1,31 Corinthians 8:6.

in whom is vested all power and authority in heaven and on earth
All power and authority is given to Jesus, except that of being the source of all power and authority. — 1 Corinthians 15:27Ephesians 1:3,17-23.
Jesus is NOT the Supreme Being, the source of all. — 1 Corinthians 8:6.
and at his revelation all of creation in Heaven and earth and under the earth and in the sea shall bow to Him who is seated on the throne of Elohim and to the Lamb that was slain before the foundation of the world!
Yes, all will bow down to Jehovah (the only true Supreme Being — Isaiah 61:1John 17:1,31 Corinthians 8:6) who is on the throne and they will also bow down to Jehovah’s anointed/appointed King. Nothing in the entire book of Revelation gives us any reason to imagine and assume that Jesus is the Supreme Being, the source of all.
Yes, the Lord Jesus is the Alpha and Omega The Lord God Almighty !
In the book of Revelation, only the God and Father of Jesus is the Lord Jehovah, He who is, was and is to come, who is sitting on the throne. Jesus is no where in Bible identified as being then Lord Jehovah.

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was within God and the Word is God,
I could not verify that the Greek word often transliterated as “pros” (Strong’s #4313) ever means located “within” somebody of something; it most common use is that of being as approaching “to”, or as being alongside, “with”, someone or something. The KJV renders this preposition as “within” in Mark 14:4, but it is evident that it is not speaking of location “within” someone or some thing, but rather of location with respects to each other as spoken of (in other words, “among”). I have no reason to think that John meant for “pros” to mean “within” in John 1:1, but rather as being “with”, alongside of, the only true God as Jesus spoke of in John 17:1,3,5.
Since Jesus spoke of his having been with the only true God before then world of mankind had been made, the default conclusion should be that the Greek word often transliterated as THEOS as applied to “the Word” in John 1:1 does not mean the Supreme Being, then source of all, but that is being used with the general Hebraic meaning of “might, strength.” Jesus “was” indeed “mighty” before he became flesh, but he “was” not the Supreme Being.
The Light of the world shines in the darkness and the darkness comprehended not,
The Word was actively the “light of the world” only while he was in the world. He was not that light until after he became flesh. After sacrificing his flesh, and ascending to his God and Father, he is not actively that light, but that light still shines in the work as presented in the Bible, as well by means of the righteous works that are being done by the new creatures in Christ.
but as many who receive Him He gives them the power (Holy Spirit) to become the sons of God
No serious disagreement here.
The mystery of the Father , Son and Holy Spirit will be revealed from heaven on earth on the day of the Lord!
The mystery of the only true God, His Son, and the saints, will be revealed by means God’s Holy Spirit in the last day.

The saints will rejoice with reverent fear and sing songs to the Lord and the Love of God will cast out that fear from them, but the ungodly shall be consumed with terror and shame( weeping and gnashing of teeth! Time is short
Weeping and gnashing teeth is spoken of in the Bible in connection with the Jews who rejected Jesus as well as others. At the same time, they are to be reserved for the blessings of the judgment day in the last day.
For some studies related to weeping and gnashing of teeth:

The blessing of all the families of the earth without hindrance from Satan will bring joy to peoples of all nations; those who obey the Good News in that day will live forever on the earth; those who, once having been enlightened, prove themselves to still be disobedient will suffer eternal destruction.
