GINOLJC, to all
Runningman, 101G must take off his hat to you. God has allowed you to put TRUTH RIGHT in their faces and yet they could not see it, nor you.
in both verses it shows that the Lord Jesus is the HIM, "which is, and which was, and which is to come" and you highlighted it also. neither you nor them saw it. let's look at what throwed both you and them off. Revelation 1:4 "John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;" Revelation 1:5 "And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood,"
that conjunction "AND" got all of you.
many analyzed these verses as the following.
PERSON #1. the Father. "from him which is, and which was, and which is to come"
PERSON #2. the Holy Spirit. "from the seven Spirits"
PERSON #3. the Son. "from Jesus Christ"
and in verse 8, Revelation 1:8 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty." you and many say that this is HIM, "which is, and which was, and which is to come". the Almighty, the Father.
many only looked at the HIM, "which is, and which was, and which is to come" and did not see the "Lord", (who is JESUS). nor did any read further, that the "him which is, and which was, and which is to come" is JESUS. the First and the Last, scripture, Revelation 22:13 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." and again in Revelation 1:11 which 101G is about to point out .and did not the First and the Last die ...... on the cross? let's see. Revelation 1:10 "I was in the Spirit on the Lord's day, and heard behind me a great voice, as of a trumpet," Revelation 1:11 "Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea." Revelation 1:12 "And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;" Revelation 1:13 "And in the midst of the seven candlesticks one like unto the Son of man, clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle." Revelation 1:14 "His head and his hairs were white like wool, as white as snow; and his eyes were as a flame of fire;" Revelation 1:15 "And his feet like unto fine brass, as if they burned in a furnace; and his voice as the sound of many waters." Revelation 1:16 "And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength." Revelation 1:17 "And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last:" Revelation 1:18 "I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death."
so, according to you Runningman, and the rest arguing with you must have missed that, "him which is, and which was, and which is to come. DIED. did any missed that?
it's amazing how many can be deceived in plain sight of the TRUTH. and yet not repent.
101G.
