thanks for the reply, but incorrect. there is only one person in verse 1. understand, the revelation of Jesus the Christ, WHO IS GOD HIMSELF. there is no agent, God himself came, supportive scripture, Isaiah 35:4 "Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come with vengeance, even God with a recompence; he will come and save you."''which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass''
in effect making Jesus a agent of God.do you know the power a agent has?
ok cataway, who came? "GOD". end of story. now, who sent his angel? answer, remember the angel who was sent said, 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."
so it was the Lord ...... "God", of the holy prophets, (meaning the OT and NT), meaning the ALMIGHTY, and it's ONLY ONE, "Almighty". so let's see who this Almighty that sent his angel to John... the same chapter 22, listen,
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."
well, well, well, it is the Lord Jesus who is God of the OT as well as the NT, the only TRUE and LIVING GOD, who sent HIS angel to John. now lets prove this out futher, the First and the Last is Jesus the Lord. 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." one more, Revelation 2:8 "And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive;"
this is JESUS no doubt, now this,
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." IS THIS NOT JESUS? YES. NOW LISTEN CLOSE, 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." where have you seen this "which is, and which was, and which is to come?" answer, 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;". HOLD IT, the "which is, and which was, and which is to come"... this is JESUS also, as well as the 7 Spirit? yes, for the one who address the 7 churches is the Spirit, listen how all the letters end. "He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches".
now lets recap, 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,"
see cataway, the book is from one person who is the, "which is, and which was, and which is to come", GOD, THE FATHER, and the "seven Spirits which are before his throne", GOD, the HOLY SPIRIT, and from, "Jesus Christ", GOD THE SON.
THERE YOU HAVE IT, FROM THE BIBLE, JESUS IS A. "FATHER", B. "SON", AND C. "HOLY SPIRIT". ONE PERSON, THREE TITLES.
see cataway, it's only ONE PERSON in the book of Revelation who is GOD, the, "ALMIGHTY", and ONE GOD ONLY, who is the Lord JESUS.
so your assessment of God in verse 1 is incorrect, it's only JESUS there.
