Rev 1 and Rev 22 are 2 different scenarios. If you can understand Rev 1:1= the giver = God, the receiver= not God.
Revelation 1:1 "The Revelation of Jesus Christ,
which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and
he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:"
read the verse slowly. "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which
God gave unto
him" ..... Now, 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,"
Now who is this Letter/Revelation from? First title, "
from him which is, and which was, and which is to come", who is the "which is, and which was, and which is to come?" answer, the Lord Jesus. Revelation 4:8 "And the four beasts had each of them six wings about him; and they were full of eyes within: and they rest not day and night, saying, Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty, which was, and is, and is to come." Revelation 4:9 "And when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to him that sat on the throne, who liveth for ever and ever,"
A. the ONE who sits on the throne is the Lord Jesus.
B. the
Lord God is the One from verse 1 who sent his angel, (Rev. 22:6), and we can confirm that it was the Lord Jesus who sent his angel. Revelation 22:16 "
I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star." so, it's the Lord God, JESUS, the almighty is the "
which is, and which was, and which is to come" this is not hard to understand. but one more
C. 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." ......... THERE IS NO EXCUSE THAT THE Lord JESUS IS THE "
which is, and which was, and which is to come", THE ALMIGHTY, ....... God. yes, God as in 1:1.
now the seven Spirits, who also is the Lord Jesus God almighty. scripture, Revelation 3:1 "And unto the angel of the church in Sardis write; These things
saith he that hath the seven Spirits of God, and the seven stars; I know thy works, that thou hast a name that thou livest, and art dead."
is this the Lord God, JESUS? let's see. Revelation 5:6 "And I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in the midst of the elders,
stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the earth." this is the Holy Spirit, who is Jesus. For now, RISEN, he is GLORIFIED IN THE Spirit, (see John 17:5)
and Lastly, 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,"
so, the "which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits" is the same one Person, who is the Lord God .... Jesus the Christ, 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,"
