Jesus and His God

Revelation 1:7 Behold, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, including those who pierced him. All the tribes of the earth will mourn over him. Even so, Amen. Revelation 1:8 "I am the Alpha and the Omega," says Jehovah God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." -- Restoration Light Improved. It is obvious that in Revelation 1:8, that the Holy Name is changed to KURIOS in the extant Greek manuscripts. Thus, we believe that the anarthrous KURIOS in Revelation 1:18 was originally some form of the Holy Name.

In Isaiah 43:10, the expression Jehovah uses consists of just two Hebrew words—*ani hu*. Literally, “I—he.” Biblical Hebrew lacks a copulative verb “to be,” so translators supply it, producing the familiar “I am he.” In the Christianized Septuagint, *ani hu* is rendered with the Greek *ego eimi*, literally “I am,” with the implied “he” understood from context. It is this LXX rendering that many trinita...
