Bible Note: Nolan, good stuff. In fact, if you start with (Isa 41:4) "Who has performed and accomplished it, Calling forth the generations from the beginning? 'I, the LORD, am the first, and with the last. I am He.'" This is God. Then (Isa 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." God again. Then (Isa 48:12) "Listen to Me, O Jacob, even Israel whom I called; I am He, I am the first, I am also the last." God again. Hop to Rev 1.8, and assume God as the speaker: (Rev 21:6) "Then He said to me, "It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give to the one who thirsts from the spring of the water of life without cost." Either God or Jesus speaks here. Now back to (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 you have a red letter bible, these letters ain't black. Can you beat this nifty proof without calling John, or Jesus, a liar? This JW thing is so warped. Colin |
