Except that's quite literally what
Revelation 11:17 says, "Lord God Almighty...you have taken your great power."
Not so, listen to what was said,
Revelation 11:17 "Saying, We give thee thanks, O Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come;
because thou hast taken to thee thy great power, and hast reigned".
Taken
to thee, not from someone else. and here's the scripture to bare this out,
Matthew 28:18 "And Jesus came and spake unto them, saying,
All power is given unto me in heaven and in earth". why? because according to Philippians 2:7 "But made himself of
no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men". while in that flesh he was, abase, (made Lower, meaning in flesh), neutralize. here it's the Greek word,
no reputation: G2758 κενόω kenoo (ke-no-ō') v.
1. to make empty.
2. (figuratively) to abase,
neutralize, falsify.
[from G2756]
KJV: make (of none effect, of no reputation, void), be in vain
here in this definition, he, (the Lord Jesus), while in natural flesh, (as the equal share) of himself as God, which is Spirit, was
neutralize or was of none effect of his all powerful attributes. Now resurrected, (Revelation chapter 5 the Lamb Standing), is sent into all the earth, (the Holy Spirit), now in Glorified flesh, see John 17:5, now HAS all Power, see again Matthew 28:18). supportive 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". who is this?
Revelation 5:5 "And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold,
the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
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.
there he is Jesus, on the throne and standing, being sent forth into all the earth. that's the POWER that was given unto him, the power as you stated in 11:17, "because thou hast taken
to thee thy great power, and hast reigned". if one is reigning then he's on the throne. because reigning means, "occupying the throne; ruling". please google "reigning".
NOW ONE OTHER THING to support my position, meaning that Jesus is the Diversified Spirit, the Holy Spirit. as we read in Revelation 3:1, it is the Lord Jesus who address all the churches in chapter 3 & 4 correct. I'M, now asking you to read see how each letter ends, all seven letter ends this way, "He that hath an ear, let him hear what
the Spirit saith unto the churches". WAIT, hear what the "Spirit" say? is it not the Lord Jesus who is speaking to all the churches? so read how all the letters end. it's the Spirit who is Speaking to the 7 churches, the Lamb who stands in Chapter 5.
so again my question still stand, "if it's the one whom many say, it's the Father who sits on the throne", well just give me book chapter and verse as to who gave the Father POWER.
I hoped that helped.
PICJAG.
P.S. this is how a discussion go, ask question, and respond. here I have put "
Diversified Oneness" on the table. so the proper response is to question it. because if it's true it will stand, else it will fall.
I thank God for any and all question on this doctrine. for if a doctrine is of God then it can be tested for TRUTH by the scriptures.
