Barrett points out that "both creation and revelation are in mind in the Johannine Prologue, ..."
It is interesting how John broadens the scope of our understanding of Jesus. He speaks of the beginning: In the beginning was the word. We see Jesus as the beginning and then with Johns writing in Revelation. Jesus is the one in the end who is at the forefront.
The other gospels point to the lineages of Jesus which take us back to the beginning of human history, but John takes us to the eternal existence of Jesus. He was with God in the beginning, He is at the end.
