That would mostly be because you see it much differently than we do, that is all. A good study on this is "Frame of Reference".
It is only mind bloggling as one may not be aware of what Baha'u'llah has offered in regards to passages such as this, the Quran and the Self of God, who is the Messenger, the First and Last, the Beginning and End.
Baha'u'llah offered about the Messengers and starts with Muhammad, "...“I am the Messenger of God,” He, also, speaketh the truth, the indubitable truth. Even as He saith: “Muḥammad is not the father of any man among you, but He is the Messenger of God.” Viewed in this light, they are all but Messengers of that ideal King, that unchangeable Essence. And were they all to proclaim, “I am the Seal of the Prophets,” they, verily, utter but the truth, beyond the faintest shadow of doubt. For they are all but one person, one soul, one spirit, one being, one revelation. They are all the manifestation of the “Beginning” and the “End,” the “First” and the “Last,” the “Seen” and the “Hidden”—all of which pertain to Him Who is the Innermost Spirit of Spirits and Eternal Essence of Essences. And were they to say, “We are the Servants of God,” this also is a manifest and indisputable fact. For they have been made manifest in the uttermost state of servitude, a servitude the like of which no man can possibly attain. Thus in moments in which these Essences of Being were deep immersed beneath the oceans of ancient and everlasting holiness, or when they soared to the loftiest summits of Divine mysteries, they claimed their utterances to be the Voice of Divinity, the Call of God Himself...."
All these Titles and Attributes are above Allah, all we can know of Allah are these references to the Messengers, who we can now see as Manifestations of God, they are the "Self of God".
