REVELATION ITS GRAND CLIMAX AT HAND!/Chapter Fifteen - The Worthy One -Continue

 John quickly recognizes the reference to "the root of David." The promised Messiah is prophetically called both "a twig out of the stump of Jesse [father of King David] . . . a sprout" and "the root of Jesse that will be standing up as a signal for the peoples." (Isaiah 11:1, 10) Jesus was twig of Jesse, being born into the royal line of David, son of Jesse.   Further, as  a root of Jesse, he was the One that caused the Davidic dynasty to sprout again, giving it life and sustenance forever. - 2 SAMUEL 7:16.

Jesus preeminently is the one who, as a perfect human, served Jehovah in integrity and under excruciating trials.  He supplied the complete answer  to Satan's challenge.  (Proverbs 27:11)  Thus, he could say as he on the night before his sacrificial death, "I have conquered the world." (John 16:33) For this reason, Jehovah entrusted the resurrected Jesus with "all authority . . . in heaven and on the earth." He alone of all servants of God is qualified  to receive the scroll, with a view to making known its momentous message. - MATTHEW 28:18.
