Revelation 1:17-18

Revelation 1:17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead; and He placed His right hand on me, saying, Do not fear; I am the First and the Last

Revelation 1:18 And the living One; and I became dead, and behold, I am living forever and ever; and I have the keys of death and of Hades.

God is not only the living God but also the God of resurrection. He died, but He overcame death. Death fought the Lord with all its might, but it could not conquer Him. The principle of resurrection is overcoming death and emerging from death. The God of resurrection has been tested and proven to possess an unshakable life.
