The only true God
Meditate about these things.
Now it is clear how important it is to know who is the only true God, called the Father. You cannot know the only true God, the Father, except the Son reveals Him to you. To receive eternal life you must know Jesus Christ (The Son) whom the Father hath sent. You cannot know who the Father hast sent, called the Son, except the Father draws you to the Son, (John 6:44-51). This knowledge comes by revelation too. These are beautiful scriptures that require our prompt attention; Revelation 1:1 reads, “The revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him (Jesus Christ, the Son), to shew unto his servants; things which must shortly come to pass, and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John.” As you can see, it is the revelation of Jesus Christ, and God gave it to him, the Son.
In Revelation 1:8 it reads, “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, (presently in heaven) which was (when He died on the cross and rose again) and which is to come (as the King of kings and Lord of lords, at the translation and the millennium, and the white throne), the Almighty. Do you realize that there is only one Almighty and He died at the cross and became ‘was’; only the Son Jesus Christ died and was, but rose again. He was God in the flesh as man, God as Spirit cannot die and be referred to as ‘was’, only as man on the cross. As recorded in Rev. 1:18, “I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and death.”
Rev. 22:6 is a revelation verse towards the closing of the final book of the bible. It is for the wise. It reads, “These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done.” Here again God was still keeping a veil or camouflage over His real identity, but He is still the God of the holy prophets. The Father must draw you to the Son, and the Son must reveal the Father to you, and that is where the revelation comes into play.
Also, Rev. 22:16, Before closing the bible, God gave one more revelation, confirming among other things; Which reads, “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.” The Root and Offspring of David. In Rev. 22:16 God took off the mask, the veil or camouflage and spoke plainly; “I Jesus have sent mine angel….” Only God has angels. And this is the Lord God of the holy prophets. Acts 2:36 reads, “Therefore let all the house of Israel know assuredly, that God hath made that same Jesus, whom ye have crucified, both Lord and Christ.” He finally came out openly to those with an open heart saying, I am the first and the last, the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending. I am he that liveth and was dead; and behold I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death (Rev. 1:8 & 18). “I am the resurrection and the life” (John 11:25). Rev. 22:16, “I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches.” Now, do you really know who Jesus Christ is?
