Christ: King of Kings

I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession; That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ: Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords; Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.

1 Timothy 6:13ff (Spoke 10, Cycle 3)

The overwhelming glory of God's Word shines with unparalleled clarity and Divine Power in this verse. It is the only reference to the Divine Title "King of Kings" in the New Testament outside the revelation of Christ Victorious in the Final Book. The correlation with both the meaning of Yod as the symbol of power, might, ability, and authority and the dominant theme of the Tenth Book could be no clearer (see The Hand of the Eternal King). Yet there is more! First Timothy is also the only Book in the New Testament to refer to the King Eternal:

Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen.

1 Timothy 1:17 (Spoke 10, Cycle 3)

Paul both opened and closed the final Book on Spoke 10 with Divine Titles of Christ as King!
