Jesus was begotten, while no-one begot his God and father.Īlpha and the Omega – The Father of Eternity Jesus is the ‘first and last’ in terms of the authority given to him, and not by nature. As a result of which he holds the keys to death and the grave. He is the ‘last’ as no one will supersede him including angels. Jesus is the first and last, not in terms of eternity, but because he is the FIRSTborn from the dead. Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to shew unto his servants,Ĭhristians would be disappointed to know that Jesus needs to receive the Revelation from ‘some one else’. Rev 1:6 and he made us to be a kingdom, to be priests unto his Godand Father Jesus gets his revelations from his God and John is not ashamed of this Fact. God of Jesus is Jesus’ God – This is an amazing fact hid from billions of Christians. Is God the Spirit seen with moustache? No! Rather God’s spirit is personified as ‘seven’ ‘lamps’ Rev 1:4 John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace to 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 In the greetings from John, notice who is on the throne and the Father is uniquely identified as ‘which is and which was and which is to come’ i.e. This is because they like it like that and look for any opportunity to override the Father and replace him with their idea of Jesus. Many trinitarian commentaries argue that Rev 1:8 applies to Jesus. Rev 1:6 and he made us to be a kingdom, to be priests unto God and Father to him be the glory and the dominion for ever and ever. It is very important to accept that Jesus has a God while on earth or while he is in heaven now. The main emphasis is that Jesus who experienced death like that of a dog or plant came back to eternal life and this has never happened before. Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, ( Rev 1:5) Jesus’ status was the eternal plan (logos) and attained the ‘First and last’ status as ‘the firstborn of the dead’ YHWH is IMMORTAL v/s Jesus attained immortality i.e. “ which is and which was and which is to come, the Almighty’ acquired authority!īut, when YHWH God says he is the ‘Alpha and the Omega,’ (Rev 1:8) this concerns his eternal nature as explained in Rev 1:4 and Rev 4:8: The first and last concerns resurrection and since he holds the keys of death and hades – i.e. Rev 1:18 and the Living one and I was dead, and behold, I am alive for evermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying, Fear not I am the first and the last, Rev 1:17 And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as one dead.
