Few recognize Jesus Christ for WHO HE really is. He is the King of Glory, the King of Kings, eternally God, Lord of lords, ONE WITH THE FATHER.
Hebrews 1:3 tells us that before His incarnation He was the brightness of God’s glory, the express image of His person, He was upholding all things by the word of His power---
The ONE WHO upheld the universe was the ONE who Himself came to this world to purge our sins, and then sat down on the right hand of the Majesty in heaven.

All heaven was waiting the hour of triumph, when Jesus ascended back to His Father in heaven. Angels came to receive the King of glory and to escort Him triumphantly to heaven. A multitude of the heavenly host were in attendance, while in heaven an innumerable company of angels awaited His coming and the anthem was sung:
Psalms 24:8-9
Who is the King of Glory?
The LORD strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle.
Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.

This was the One Who was in the Form of God, Who was equal with God, One with God, Who was God. He was the ONE WHO made himself of no reputation, and took upon himself the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men (See John 1:1, Phil. 2:6)

After He had suffered the fullest disgrace in His death upon the cross, because of OUR TRANSGRESSIONS, Jesus Christ, Who will forever carry His identification with humanity, (the SON OF MAN as well as the SON OF GOD) was escorted to heaven and exalted as the King of the glory. There in heaven He took His place with the Father on His throne-- the only One worthy to implement the grand covenant between God and man."

Yes, He took His place upon the throne which is the throne of the FATHER and of the LAMB. (Rev. 22:1)

Oh, if the people on earth would have seen Him in His glory, if they would have recognized Him would they have crucified the KING of the glory? "

When Jehovah-(all three persons in perfect unity) made plans for the creation of the universe and the world, the rebellion was already fore-seen. The desolation which would be caused by Lucifer and all those who follow after him, was known by the omniscient mind of God. Lucifer, or "son of the morning" (see Isaiah 14) was the name of the devil or Satan before his rebellion against God. He was the highest angel prince of God's creation and he led a third of the angels into the revolution against the government of God. (Rev. 12:4,7,8) But already in advance the Divinity planned for the solution for this crisis. A rescue plan was prepared, in which each person in the Divinity was assigned His role in the creation, as well as the redemption and the wooing back of the affections of humans.

1 Peter 1.18-20
Forasmuch as ye know that you were not redeemed with corruptible things...But with the precious blood of Christ, as of a lamb without blemish and without spot:
Who verily was foreordained before the foundation of the world, but was manifest in these last times for you.

Rev. 13.8
"The Lamb slain from the foundation of the world."

The plan of salvation was conceived and brought forth before creation was begun. The plan of salvation had been laid before the creation of the earth; for Christ is "the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world" (Revelation 13:8).

Before creation began the Divinity set in place the plan: the first person of the Divinity would represent the Godhood, while the second person would reach out to the created beings. This second person of the Divinity would step down and work for the reconciliation between God and His creation to return, as many humans as possible again to God.

The third person of the Divinity would illuminate the understanding of humans, in order to point them to, and enable them to respond to Jesus Christ.

But the most awesome part of this plan is that the second person of the Divinity, Christ, Who was verily God, would Himself lay aside His equality with God. He would come, from the throne of the universe, and descend voluntarily to this sin stricken planet, and degrade Himself so thoroughly as to give up everything in order to become equal with those, which were to be redeemed, in order that the plan of redemption might be fulfilled.

This happened as follows:

• 1. Before creation Christ was in the same position as God Father. Philippians tells us he was in very nature God, equal with God.

• 2. When the first seeds of doubting were planted in the minds of the angels, Christ, as Michael the archangel, pleaded with them. Christ had freely mingled with the angels, and this had lead Lucifer into thinking the he , Lucifer, should have all the same rights as Christ. The true nature of Christ's Godhood was then reaffirmed to the angels. The angels were summoned before God’s throne where they beheld Christ and the Father in their eternal, self-existent Glory. It was made plain to them WHO Christ was, even though He mingled with them as one of them.
  When a third of the angels of God turned against God, it was the son of God, as the archangel Michael, who fought against the rebels and “there was war in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon and the dragon fought, and his angels, but Christ defeats them!

• 3. When humans revolted, the second person of the three-unified in ONE, went a further step and descended and became human. In His humanity He lived a perfectly sinless life among us.

  The second Person in the Unified Godhead, became fully human and identified himself with our necessities. During his life on this earth, he took the position of a dependant suppliant, an earnest petitioner, praying constantly, seeking His strength and direction at the hand of the Father. We are to follow the example of the sinless Son of God. He showed us the way. Daily we need help and grace and power from the Source of all power. We are to cast our helpless souls upon the One who is ready to help us in every time of need.

• 4. But this was not the final step; the second Person of the Divinity went a further and even lower downward step: He took upon Himself all the sins, and went to the cross as the worst of all sinners, NOT HIS sins, He took upon Himself our sins, to pay the death penalty Himself for our sins. He died the second death, which represents the deepest stage in the whole universe.
  Christ humbled Himself and took on the form of a servant , and made Himself like any other human, bearing the from of humans . He degraded Himself even further and was obedient unto death, even the death at the cross " (Phil. 2,7.8)
