Revelation 10:6 - He Who Created

Is Jesus presented in Revelation 10:5 as being the Creator?

Revelation 10:5 - The angel who I saw standing on the sea and on the land lifted up his right hand to the sky,
Revelation 10:6 - and swore by him who lives forever and ever, who created heaven and the things that are in it, the earth and the things that are in it, and the sea and the things that are in it.

Revelation 10:6 is sometimes presented as proof that Jesus is the Creator and that Jesus is God Almighty.

Actually, Jesus is not mentioned anywhere in Revelation 10. It should be obvious, however, that He by whom the angel swears is not Jesus, but rather it is the God and Father of Jesus. -- Micah 5:4; Ephesians 1:3.

What some appear to think, however, is that the voice from heaven spoken of in Revelation 10:4 is the voice of Jesus (Revelation 1:17-19) and then they would associate the One by whom the angel swears to be Jesus, the voice from heaven. There are two suppositions required for this claim: 1) One would have to assume that "the voice" of Revelation 10:4 is Jesus of Revelation 1:17-19, and 2) one would have to assume the angel is referring back to that "voice" as being the One "who lives forever and ever" of verse 6. Jesus, of course, now that he has been raised from the dead, dies no more, and thus he does live forever. 

Some, however, claim that the "strong angel" of Revelation 10:1-7 is Jesus. If this is so, then Jesus was swearing by someone who is not himself. Obviously, that one by whom he would be swearing is Jehovah, his God (Isaiah 61:1,2; Micah 5:4), the One spoken of in Nehemiah 9:6 and Psalm 148:1-7.

What do not find in anywhere in Revelation 10 (or anywhere else in the Bible) is the idea that God is more than one person. Nor do we find any idea that Jesus is his own God and Father, as some claim. Such ideas have to be added to and read into what is stated. Since Jehovah is depicted as being the God of Jesus (Isaiah 61:1,2; Micah 5:4; Ephesians 1:3), and since Jesus is not the "one God" of whom are all (1 Corinthians 8:6), the default reasoning should be that Jesus is not his God, Jehovah.
