As Stuckenbruck shows, an angelomorphic Christology, shared by the author of Revelation and its readers, functions to preserve the author?s monotheistic emphasis as well as to emphasize Christ?s superiority over the angels?setting the stage for the worship of the Lamb in a monotheistic framework that does not contradict the angelic directive to worship God alone.
