But we can find Jesus as "the Almighty" in Rev 1:8,17,18. The one who is to come, who died and was made alive.
If Rev 1:8,17,18 refers to the Father, can you answer these questions;
1. Who is the speaker on that verse? Who is to come? (John 14:3) If the Father, can you show me a verse that the Father is coming again?
2. Who died and was made alive? If the Father, can you show me the verse that the Father died and was made alive?
1. The Father is the speaker in verse 8. He alone is the Alpha and Omega. He is to come with Jesus when Jesus returns. See Malachi 3:5.
2. Jesus died and was made alive. Verse 18 refers to Jesus. He is "the First and the Last" but that is different than Alpha and Omega. I asked you to look at an Interlinear Bible and you could see the difference in the Greek words. I also explained what "the First" means.

2. John turned to see the voice that spake to him. It doesn't say two voices. It's just the voice of Jesus.

Re: Does Hell Exist?
Post #358All of the Revelation is God, Jehovah, speaking through Jesus to John. He said that He is the Alpha and Omega. Now, in the vision John turned around and saw the vision of Jesus. That shows that when he faced forward he saw the vision of Jehovah, then he turned the other way and saw Jesus. Two directions, two individuals. It is logical thinking, just what Jehovah asked of us centuries ago (Isaiah 1:18, KJV).Capbook wrote: ↑Sat Sep 28, 2024 2:48 amProve that there are two voices that John heard in that verses?onewithhim wrote: ↑Fri Sep 27, 2024 12:52 pm.onewithhim wrote: ↑Sat Sep 21, 2024 2:05 pmThe first part of the verse is Jehovah talking.

If Rev 1:8,17,18 refers to the Father, can you answer these questions;
1. Who is the speaker on that verse? Who is to come? (John 14:3) If the Father, can you show me a verse that the Father is coming again?
2. Who died and was made alive? If the Father, can you show me the verse that the Father died and was made alive?
1. The Father is the speaker in verse 8. He alone is the Alpha and Omega. He is to come with Jesus when Jesus returns. See Malachi 3:5.
2. Jesus died and was made alive. Verse 18 refers to Jesus. He is "the First and the Last" but that is different than Alpha and Omega. I asked you to look at an Interlinear Bible and you could see the difference in the Greek words. I also explained what "the First" means.
2. Yes, Jesus is the speaker in verse 8 and 18 through context.
Rev 1:7-9
7 Behold, 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.
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.
9 I John, who also am your brother, and companion in tribulation, and in the kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was in the isle that is called Patmos, for the word of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ.

Rev 1:11-13
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.
12 And I turned to see the voice that spake with me. And being turned, I saw seven golden candlesticks;
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.

Re: Does Hell Exist?
Post #360Nope. Jesus is the "First and the Last," not Alpha and Omega. He is a different First and Last than his Father at Isaiah 44:6. Jehovah is supreme over everyone. He can be called the First and the Last. Jesus is called that because he was the first to be resurrected to heavenly life, and he is the last to be given the honor of saving mankind. They are not the same First and Last. And Jehovah never died, therefore verses 17 & 18 of Rev.1 refer to Jesus. We have discussed this all before.Capbook wrote: ↑Sat Oct 05, 2024 4:04 amFirst, you reasoned that it is the Jehovah talking (I colored red above), now Jehovah through Jesus, sounds conflicting.onewithhim wrote: ↑Fri Oct 04, 2024 1:18 pmAll of the Revelation is God, Jehovah, speaking through Jesus to John.
