No sir. Jesus is not the Almighty in Revelation 1:8.let's see, 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." is this not the Lord Jesus? wait, Revelation 21:22 "And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it." listen the "Lord God and the LAMB.... IS THIS TWO PERSONS? NO, AND HERE WHY. the Lord God. in Revelation 1:1 someone sent his angel to John correct.... well the angel who was sent told us
Start with verse 4. See how "him which is, and which was, and which is to come" is not the same one as Jesus in verse 5? So there is him which is, and which was, and which is to come AND Jesus Christ. The "him which is, and which was, and which is to come" is not mentioned again until verse 8 and it says that he is the Lord, the Almighty.
Revelation 1
4John 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; 5And 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, 6And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. 7Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindreds of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen.
8I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Revelation is wordy and there are a lot of things to remember but once you get it it's not overly complicated. So the revelation is Jesus is actually what God gave to Jesus according to Revelation 1:1. This makes Jesus God's messenger.who sent him... listen, Revelation 22:6 "And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done."
notice the angel said, "The Lord God" sent him... right.... right. well let's see who is the Lord God by NAME.... 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."
Uh O, the Lord God is the Lord Jesus... now what did Revelation 21:22 "And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are the temple of it."
Revelation 1
1The 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:
The angel in talking in Revelation 22:6-16 is actually Jesus. I am not saying Jesus is an angelic being like a cherubim or seraphim, but rather a messenger. Notice how the angel is talking in that passage then abruptly and without introduction Jesus is suddenly talking. It follows from the previous statements that the messenger who was talking is Jesus in Rev. 22:6-16. Now that I have pointed it out to you, read it again. Jesus refused being worshipped as God.
Revelation 22
8And I John saw these things, and heard them. And when I had heard and seen, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel which shewed me these things. 9Then saith he unto me, See thou do it not: for I am thy fellowservant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them which keep the sayings of this book: worship God.
No dilemma whatsoever on my end.well you have a dilemma, for the Lord God is the Lord Jesus, and the Lamb is JESUS....... (smile)... LOL, YIKES!!.
CHECK..... and .... MATE.... game over. the Lord Jesus is the Lord Almighty, the Lamb..... read this post again for clearity.
