They are the same eternal God
Rev 1
To Him who [
b]loved us and washed us from our sins in His own blood, 6 and has made us [
c]kings and priests to His God and Father, to Him
be glory and dominion forever and ever. Amen.
7 Behold, He is coming with clouds, and every eye will see Him, even they who pierced Him. And all the tribes of the earth will mourn because of Him. Even so, Amen.
8 “
I am the Alpha and the Omega, [d]the Beginning and the End,” says the [e]Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.”
9 I, John, [
f]both your brother and companion in the tribulation and kingdom and patience of Jesus Christ, was on the island that is called Patmos for the word of God and for the testimony of Jesus Christ. 10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s Day, and
I heard behind me a loud voice, as of a trumpet, 11 saying, [g]“I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last,” and, “What you see, write in a book and send
it to the seven churches [
h]which are in Asia: to Ephesus, to Smyrna, to Pergamos, to Thyatira, to Sardis, to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”
12 Then I turned to see the voice that spoke with me. And having turned I saw seven golden lampstands, 13 and in the midst of the seven lampstands
One like the Son of Man, clothed with a garment down to the feet and girded about the chest with a golden band. 14 His head and hair
were white like wool, as white as snow, and His eyes like a flame of fire; 15 His feet
were like fine brass, as if refined in a furnace, and His voice as the sound of many waters; 16 He had in His right hand seven stars, out of His mouth went a sharp two-edged sword, and His countenance
was like the sun shining in its strength. 17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying [
i]to me, “Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last. 18 I
am He who lives, and was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. And I have the keys of [
j]Hades and of Death. 19 [
k]Write the things which you have seen, and the things which are, and the things which will take place after this. 20 The [
l]mystery of the seven stars which you saw in My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the [
m]angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands [
n]which you saw are the seven churches.
Rev 22
12 “And behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward
is with Me, to give to every one according to his work. 13
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the [f]Beginning and the End, the First and the Last.”
14 Blessed
are those who [
g]do His commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 [
h]But outside
are dogs and sorcerers and sexually immoral and murderers and idolaters, and whoever loves and practices a lie.
16 “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things in the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, the Bright and Morning Star.”
