ONE MESSAGE. ONE FAITH.

I AM Alpha. Omega. Beginning. Ending Saith the LORD. I AM He that liveth and was dead; Alive forevermore Who is the I AM ? Who is HE that lives but was dead? JESUS . Undeniably, unarguably- JESUS . Our dissection of Revelation chapter one has led us to an encounter with a throne. Jesus is spoken of numerous times in the bible in relation to this throne. Understanding the throne is essential to understanding the God on the throne, for thrones imply kings, and kings imply authority. Before we get deeper into the throne room, let's look first at Revelation chapter two and three to discover more details about Jesus, the self- declared I AM... Jesus has messages for seven churches and with these messages he introduces himself to each one of them descriptively. Revelation 2:1 Unto the angel of the church of Ephesus write; These things saith he that holdeth the seven stars in his right hand, who walketh in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks; Revelation 2:...

In part three we focused on the phrase as uttered by God, ( visit part three here )  "I am alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending" To our delight we see these words repeated many times in both the old  and new testaments. Every time it was recorded it is first person spoken. We notice it is God almighty speaking this of himself. None can argue with that. We are  also given, in chapter 1, not just words spoken by the Almighty, but a vivid description of his image: one like unto the Son of man , clothed with a garment down to the foot, and girt about the paps with a golden girdle. his head and his hairs were white like wool , as white as snow his eyes were as flames of fire his feet like unto fine brass his voice like the sound of many waters out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword his c ountenance was as the sun shineth   This "one like unto the son of man" feels it is important to again make it clear who H...

Revelation. For what is revealed is no longer hidden. We have established John's credibility as the writer of this book as he transcribes the wonderful words of Almighty God to the church.  You can  read this in  Part two here. Continuing in chapter one, we come to this passage of scripture. 4 "John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto 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; 5  And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loved us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood, John here begins with a greeting of grace and peace extended from " him which is, and which was, and which is to come; "  This phrase is subsequently repeated in verse 8: 8 " I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was,...

Part 2 Revelation Chapter 1: 1  The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave Him to show His servants—things which must shortly take place. And He sent and signified   it   by His angel to His servant John,   2  who bore witness to the word of God, and to the testimony of Jesus Christ, to all things that he saw.   3  Blessed   is   he who reads and those who hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written in it; for the time   is   near. There are a few things that stand out to me in this passage: 1.       The phrase, “Revelation of Jesus Christ”, is ambiguous. We can deduce that Jesus Christ is revealing something, yet we can rightly conclude that something is being revealed about Jesus Christ. We will touch on this more as we go further in our studies. 2.       The phrase -“God gave Him to show His servants” tells us: a.   ...

The Revelation of Jesus Christ The book of Revelation gives a great insight to the mystery of godliness. In it Jesus Christ reveals himself as God incarnate, but first some background. How is Jesus revealed? Through his Spirit. 1 Corinthians 2:7,10, 11b, 14 7 But we speak the wisdom of God in a mystery, even the hidden wisdom, which God ordained before the world unto our glory: 10 But God hath revealed them unto us by his Spirit: for the Spirit searcheth all things, yea, the deep things of God. 11b even so the things of God knoweth no man, but the Spirit of God. 14 But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned. Why is Jesus Revealed? Ephesians 3:19 And to know the love of Christ, which passeth knowledge, that ye might be filled with all the fulness  of God. Jehovah’s desire has always been to dwell among us. From the days of ...

( When there is truth- all else must be reconciled to that truth, rather than the truth compromised to match the desired conclusion. ) Truth. All   scripture  is given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness: -2 Timothy 3:16 Truth. Hear, O Israel: The   Lord 1   our God is one   Lord 1 :.- Deuteronomy 6:4 God is a Spirit: and they that worship him must worship him in spirit and in truth.- John 4:24 I, even I, am the   Lord 1 ; and   beside   me  there is no saviour. - Isaiah 43:11 Tell ye, and bring them near; yea, let them take counsel together: who hath declared this from ancient time? who hath told it from that time? have not I the   Lord ? and there is no God else   beside   me ; a just God and a Saviour; there is none   beside   me .- Isaiah 45:21 And said unto the woman, Now we believe, not because of thy ...

21  I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it  and because no lie comes from the truth.   22  Who is the liar? It is whoever denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a person is the antichrist—denying the Father and the Son.   23  No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.- 1 John 2:21-23 The word "deny" is defined as a "refusal to admit the truth or existence of [something]" ; "refusal to accept as true or valid"; refusing to give or grant  something deserved or desired to someone. Deny. To deny the Son is to refuse the truth of who the Son is. It is to refuse the validity of who the Son is. Simply put, when the Son of God is denied, one refuses God. When the truth of the Son is acknowledged, God is acknowledged.  How does one acknowledge the Son? By Believing Jesus is who he says he is. Yes, b y believing Jesus is who God says He is. "God, who at variou...
