Revelation 1:8 Alpha - Omega….saith the Lord..’ . ‘Lord’ is written in the Greek Text as ‘Kyrios’, printed in English as ‘Lord’ with the preposition article. In this verse Lord refers to the God most high who owns everything and controls His creation .
Rev 1:8 Alpha and Omega is in this case God . Also because the verse includes the title name ‘The Almighty’ , A name that belongs to God referring to Him as creator and the power and control He has over His creation. In other words Rev 1:8 refers to Jehovah . (compare ‘Almighty’ Rev 4:8, 11:17, 15:3, 16:7, 19:6&15, 21:22 also 2nd Cor 6:2) .
Revelation 1:11 Alpha and Omega in this case is Christ . Verse 10 John hears a commanding voice of authority that cannot be ignored (like a trumpet) . Verse 13 This is Christ ‘the Son of Man’ . Through to verse 18 is John’s description of Christ .
Revelation 1:17 refers to Jesus Christ .
The word ‘Lord’ means possessor , controller , master and is a title given to both God and Jesus . One can say “Lord God” or “Lord Jesus Christ” and be correct.
Revelation Ch 1 v1 - v10
v1 The Natural order of things . God to Christ to Angel messengers to prophets church us.
v2 Johns commission
v3 Concerns us , How to be blessed (happy)
v4 Grace from God and His 7 spirits to the church systems that are supposed to teach His Word. (is your church teaching you Gods words? because these 7 churches cover every church today. Christ only passes 2 of the 7 ) . God sits on a throne, Christ sits on the mercy seat .
v5 Christ lets us know who He is .
v6 Christ lets us know what is set up that is yet future for whom so ever will .
v7 Christ lets us know yet again how His return goes down at the 7th seal trump viol. Christ comes in the cloud. Cloud means what the preposition indicates . Cloud is the encompassing power of God’s heaven. A place of continual peace (not by force, censorship, or bully thug like ways but by an individual and collective whole shalom ) Cloud means an energetic enthusiastic sphere of activity . comp Heb 12 v1, 1Thes 4:17 , Acts 1:9 , Exodus where God shrouds a cloud around His presence to talk with Moses . 'Air' encompasses all life .
Christ lets us know in no uncertain terms . Everyone will meet their Maker
V8 Alpha and Omega is in this case God . Because the verse includes the title name ‘The Almighty’ , A name that belongs to God referring to Him as creator and the power and control He has over His creation .
v9 John is in the bucket doing time. His charges are teaching Scripture.
v10 Key verse to understanding Revelation . John was in the Spirit and brought forward in time to the yet future Lords Day to record the event details that the gospels and every other book eludes too all the way back to Gen ch1 v1 .
John’s flesh body was still in his jail cell taking a nappy-poo , but his conscience aka his spirit aka the intellect of his soul was brought into a theatre like setting to observe and record the Revelation of Jesus Christ which God gave unto Him .
