Christ was dead. He said so Himself:
Revelation 1:17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man.
He laid his right hand on me, saying, “Don’t be afraid. I am the first and the last, and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forever and ever. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.
He had to rise from the dead to resurrect the dead.
Flesh son of man Jesus yes the Christ did the rise your using a title in the book .it's ok he live died as nd lives ever more
men make mistakes I see many times Christ should have been worded Jesus. In text translation .maybe this help can you imagine the Holy Spirit dieing dead?
I am wrong to say Jesus son of man became The Christ in The wash cleanse baptism With the Hholy Spirit baptism John said to Jesus you should baptize me?
Good point! There is another passage that comes to mind, when I've thought about the complexity of what is stated:
"But we impart a secret and hidden wisdom of God, which God decreed before the ages for our glorification. None of the rulers of this age understood this; for if they had, they would not have crucified the Lord of glory." (1Cor 2:7-8, RSV)
On Rev 1:18 to which you refer, the Puritan Matthew Poole writes:
" I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore; the living God, who had life in myself, and gave life to the world, but assumed the human nature, and was made man, and in that nature died; but I rose again from the dead, and shall die no more, but ever live to make intercession for my people."
It does seem that Jesus Christ can be spoken of from either of our two perspectives of Him being God but also being man. The Baker's New Testament Commentary has a good passage on the verse you quote:
"Jesus personifies life and at the same time he can say, “I was dead.” He refers to his sacrificial death on Calvary's cross, where he conquered death for the sake of those held in the fear of death (Heb_2:14-15). He speaks of an historical event when his body was lying lifeless in the tomb outside the city of Jerusalem. The contrast is telling, for the one who is life permits his body to submit to death. What he restores is a physical body that suffered death so that it could never die again. Hence, he triumphantly exults in life and exclaims, “Look, I am alive forever and ever” (Deu_32:40; Dan_4:34; Dan_12:7; Rev_4:9-10; 10.6; Rev_15:7). His body, which John saw and described, is alive and glorified in appearance. In this last clause, Jesus first tells John to look closely at the physical appearance of the Lord; next, he stresses that there is no time limit to the Lord's life, for he lives eternally. His life is immortal, indestructible, and unchangeable. The incontrovertible truth of Christ's resurrection causes every believer to rejoice in his power to open the graves and raise the dead."
"I am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of Hades and of Death."
- Revelation 1:18 NKJV
This is one of many places in Scripture in which Jesus describes Himself.

God has designed the whole creation to minister to a man in his flesh.
You know how a radio is pointless without a broadcast? Or a brodcast is pointless without a radio to receive it?
Think of God as the broadcast, Christ as the radio, and the Holy Spirit as the signal holding a life between them.
All 3 of those things need to exist simultaniously to exist at all.
Light and colors would have no meaning if there were not an eye to see them. God has made creation for the pleasure of life, and we are dwelling in it from his preferred perspective.
I'm surprised Jesus didn't rebuke John Forbid not the water .who can forbid go ahead search scriptures but post them inside your heart then speak out with a naa or a yeah....
I'm just pointing .it don't do anyone any good till they See & find on their own but it's so simple and we make it hard
The Jewish translation, the Septuagint, the one used most often by Jesus and the Apostles, translated the OT Hebrew מָשִׁיחַ mashiyach, by the Greek Χριστός Christos.
About the original Messias or Messiah in John 1:41 & 4:25, it is the Greek Μεσσίας which directly translates the Aramaic məšīḥā (משיחא), the spoken language of first-century Jews. When the NT authors use the Greek Χριστός Christos, I wish to keep it that way rather than go into Dynamic Equivalence translation modernizations or updates of today.
Don’t we get tangled up in unnecessary nit-picking and superstition to insist on seeing a name or word translated a certain way as the only way? Is it not true….
“What’s in a name? That which we call a rose By any other name would smell as sweet.”

Jesus was first called Aramaic Messias immediately after Jesus’ baptism, John 1:41
Using a translation from the Dynamic Equivalence approach, the Messiah was always Messiah as he is identified as the Son of the living God according to the words of Peter, as they were revealed to him by our Father in heaven:
“Simon Peter answered, “You are the Messiah, the Son of the living God.’” (Matt 16:16, NRSV)
I have no idea the purpose of your question, nor do I know what major or critical point of doctrine you wish to teach by your dwelling so on the equivalent words: Messiah, Christ and Anointed. Don't we risk falling into the trap Paul warned us about?
"...he is puffed up with conceit, he knows nothing; he has a morbid craving for controversy and for disputes about words, which produce envy, dissension, slander, base suspicions," (1Tim 6:4, RSV)
Satan was defeated by the WORD made flesh named Yeshua. Satan will never forget that name and why I frequently use it.
Webster's 1828 Dictionary, the definition was more singular, defining Messiah as "Christ, the anointed; the Savior of the world," reflecting the primarily religious usage of the time.
The term originates from the Hebrew word mashiach, which literally means "anointed".
This refers to the ancient practice of anointing leaders—such as kings or priests—with oil to signify they were chosen for a special purpose.
The Greek equivalent of this word is Christos, which is where the English word "Christ" originates.
