Bible Note: Hello Tim; I thank the Lord for brothers like you who have a solid grasp of the greek, not only that but you seem to be able to explain it in ways that even I can understand. I have a question along the same lines as this thread. The first and the last. Isaiah 44:6 "Thus says the LORD, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the LORD of hosts: 'I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God besides Me.” Jehovah is the first and the last and there is no other God (first and last) Rev. 22:13 "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." The first and the last, Alpha and Omega and the beginning and the end are one and the same. Rev 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "Who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." The Alpha and Omega is the Lord God is the Almighty Jehovah (equals) First and the last (equals) Alpha and Omega (equals) Beginning and the end (equals) Lord God (equals) the Almighty. Rev. 1:17-18 “When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, "Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades. Rev. 2:8 "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write: The first and the last, who was dead, and has come to life, says this: If the first and the last is Jehovah, when did Jehovah die and come to life? As far as I know He didn’t, Jesus did. Jesus claims here that He is the first and the last. The book of Revelation is a book that reveals Jesus Christ. It reveals Him to be not only equal with God, but God Himself. Is there anything in the greek grammatical structure that would make this reasoning invalid? Blessings to you Aaron |
