This should cover all the bases for you. It is New Testament. It is God speaking. It addresses the eternal nature of God. Its book begins as ‘The Revelation of Jesus Christ.’ Its context is judgment.

“I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8

If you say so. BTW, the Church of my Baptism, the Eastern Orthodox Church, never reads the Revelation liturgically. It probably sits somewhere on a dust-covered shelf in the back of the churches, since the 9th century when it was included in the canon as part of the general compromise between the East and the West. Until then, it was ranked together with the Epistle of Barnabas and the Shepherd of Hermas as “questionable.”
