Well, in my estimation Jesus is a Johnny-come-lately in The ‘Who’s on First?’ contest.
I am the Supersoul, O Arjuna, seated in the hearts of all living entities. I am the beginning, the middle and the end of all beings.
Of letters I am the letter A, and among compound words I am the dual compound. I am also inexhaustible time, and of creators I am Brahma.
I am all-devouring death, and I am the generating principle of all that is yet to be.
I am the generating seed of all existences. There is no being — moving or nonmoving — that can exist without Me.
Know that all opulent, beautiful and glorious creations spring from but a spark of My splendor.
With a single fragment of Myself I pervade and support this entire universe.
He who knows Me as the unborn, as the beginningless, as the Supreme Lord of all the worlds — he only, undeluded among men, is freed from all sins.
I am the source of all spiritual and material worlds. Everything emanates from Me. The wise who perfectly know this engage in My devotional service and worship Me with all their hearts.
At that time Arjuna could see in the universal form of the Lord the unlimited expansions of the universe situated in one place although divided into many, many thousands.
This is at least several centuries, if not millennia before Jesus. What does that say? So, we could go on with these until Lord Kalki comes.
