rev 1:8

A few of us are writing sunday school material at the moment. Collaboration is good. Mostly. Just a bit tricky when you don't agree on the meaning of key verses.

Like our memory verse from Revelation 1.

"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty." Rev 1:8

I think that the Lord God in this verse is Jesus.

People who know stuff... am I right?

  1. Doesn't 1:1 pretty much guarantee that anything from divine lips in the book will be Jesus?

    The trouble with blogs is you can write before you finish thinking, or in my case, reading 1:4-5, which seems to identify WIWWAWITC as the Father.

    And then Jesus claims the Alpha and Omega title back at the end.

    I suspect it's because Father and Son are ventriloquising each other - 1:2 looks like a hendiadys (I had to look it up again...).

    So after sitting on the fence for a while, I'm opting...to stay there.
