Revelation 19:13-16. Is the Book of Revelation about the unveiling of Jesus? Hmmm?

During the fulfillment of Revelation, Jesus' kingship is above other kingships.
Of course, Jesus is not the only "king of kings" mentioned in the bible at other times in history.
(Ezra 7:12) Artaxerxes, the king of kings...
(Ezekiel 26:7) Nebuchadrezzar the king of Babylon from the north, a king of kings
(Daniel 2:27-37) Daniel was answering before the king and saying: “...there exists a God in the heavens who is a Revealer of secrets, and he has made known to King Nebuchadnezzar what is to occur... You, O king, the king of kings, you to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom
Incidentally, there is enormous evidence that Jesus is not Jehovah God. Ironically, the shaky foundations of trinitarianism rest on dubious misapplications of perhaps ten bible verses. By contrast, entire passages and important bible concepts literally require Jesus the Son to be a separate person from God the Father. Who created Jesus? To whom did Jesus pray? Who resurrected Jesus? At whose right hand does Jesus sit?
Jehovah's Witnesses believe that their worship is a restoration of biblical Christianity, as practiced by the apostles and first century Christians. They recognize Christ himself (and the apostles to a much lesser extent) as the "foundation" of true Christian worship. Of course, the bible teaches that God Himself is the "builder".
(Isaiah 28:16) Sovereign Lord Jehovah has said: “Here I am laying as a foundation in Zion a stone, a tried stone, the precious corner of a sure foundation.
(Acts 4:10-11) Jesus Christ the Nazarene... This is ‘the stone that was treated by you builders as of no account that has become the head of the corner.’
(Revelation 21:14) The wall of the city also had twelve foundation stones, and on them the twelve names of the twelve apostles of the Lamb.
(Hebrews 11:10) the city having real foundations, the builder and maker of which city is God.
Really, it is the bible rather than any human tradition, catechism, or post-biblical writing which can reveal the truth about Jesus Christ.
Jehovah's Witnesses are Christians; they teach that Christ was and is divine and of the same nature as God. What does the bible teach about Jesus?
Jehovah's Witnesses understand the bible to teach that no salvation occurs without Christ, that accepting Christ's sacrifice is a requirement for true worship, that every prayer must acknowledge Christ, that Christ is the King of God's Kingdom, that Christ is the head of the Christian congregation, that Christ is immortal and above every creature, even that Christ was the 'master worker' in creating the universe!
Jehovah's Witnesses love and respect and honor Christ. However, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Scriptures quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.
(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation
(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.
(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God
(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God
(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth
(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak
(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am
(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him
(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father
(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God
(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.
(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah
(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him
Thanks again for an opportunity to share what the bible actually says about the distinct persons of Jesus Christ the Son and Jehovah God the Father!

You don't want to confuse the two as being one in the same, the King of kings and the Lord of lords is not he same as the King of Eternity which is Jehovah God.The Scriptures mention that after all of God's enemies are brought to nothing, the last one being death, then the Kingdom will be given back to God from Jesus.
WHY JESUS HAS A NAME ON HIS THIGH & ROBE?
A name written - It was usual of old, for great personages in the eastern countries, to have magnificent titles affixed to their garments.
THE KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS?
Jesus is King of Kings among the 144,000 kings or Saints.

Chapter 19 of Revelation has to agree with the whole book of Revelation.
Rev 1: 1The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him
5and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth 6and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father--
Because of Jesus' appointment by His God, When compared to human rulers and kings, Jesus is King of Kings and Lord of Lords.
But when compared with his God and Father, Jesus remains in subjection to his God.
1 Cor 11:3But I want you to understand that Christ is the head of every man, and the man is the head of a woman, and God is the head of Christ.
Just as man will never equal Jesus,
Jesus will never equal his God and Father.
Rev 3: 2'Wake up, and strengthen the things that remain, which were about to die; for I have not found your deeds completed in the sight of My God. -- 12'He who overcomes, I will make him a pillar in the temple of My God, and he will not go out from it anymore; and I will write on him the name of My God, and the name of the city of My God, the new Jerusalem, which comes down out of heaven from My God,
In Chapter 4 of Revelation, Jesus is worthy to receive honor because he died and bought persons for himself?
No for God.
Please note GOD CAN NOT DIE. Thus the bible is very clear, since Jesus died he can not be God.
So the context of Revelation is to show that The God and Father of Jesus is God Almighty.
That Jesus is God's greatest Witness, the Beginning of the creation by God.

Trinity
The Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit are one.
The Trinity is WHO GOD IS, it's What He is.
The Three Persons are not each a "partial God" or "aspects of God" or "manifestations of God." The Three Persons are each fully and truly 100% God in their essence and have each existed from the very beginning of time. One did not create or precede the Other. At the same time, the Three Persons are not Three separate "Gods"; they are ONE God!
The Apocalypse Of Saint John
Chapter 19
12 And his eyes were as a flame of fire, and on his head were many diadems, and he had a name written, which no man knoweth but himself. 13 And he was clothed with a garment sprinkled with blood; and his name is called, THE WORD OF GOD. 14 And the armies that are in heaven followed him on white horses, clothed in fine linen, white and clean. 15 And out of his mouth proceedeth a sharp two edged sword; that with it he may strike the nations. And he shall rule them with a rod of iron; and he treadeth the winepress of the fierceness of the wrath of God the Almighty.16 And he hath on his garment, and on his thigh written: KING OF KINGS, AND LORD OF LORDS.

Jesus is the human form of God, and sits at the right hand of the Father.
