first thanks for the response. I touched on this in the topic "Whose lying?" post #60. but here, to make is very plain, our Lord Jesus is clearly the Spirit, the HOLY SPIRIT. as I prove, the letter is from ONE PERSON, see Rev 1:4 & 5. the highlight you speak of from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne; And from Jesus Christ. all three of these Epithet are identification or function to the ONE PERSON "JESUS". the answer of ONE PERSON was right in the from of the letter, "from him", clear as day. the which is, and which was, and which is to come. describe his three dispensation in our history
"WHAT" vs "WHO" God is is expressed in his name that he Gave Moses. Moses asked "WHAT" was his name, Exodus 3:13 "And Moses said unto God, Behold, when I come unto the children of Israel, and shall say unto them, The God of your fathers hath sent me unto you; and they shall say to me, What is his name? what shall I say unto them? God's answer, Exodus 3:14 "And God said unto Moses, I AM THAT I AM: and he said, Thus shalt thou say unto the children of Israel, I AM hath sent me unto you". what a name is, is not who a name is. example, if I asked you "what" was the first woman name is. most would say "Eve" and you would be wrong. let's see "what" her name is. Genesis 5:1 "This is the book of the generations of Adam. In the day that God created man, in the likeness of God made he him;Genesis 5:2 "Male and female created he them; and blessed them, and called their name Adam, in the day when they were created". see that? her name is Adam in the day they was created. but her PERSONAL Name is "Eve" which her husband gave her after their fall. see the difference now. what vs who in name. I AM THAT I AM is what Moses asked, and God gave Moses exactly what he asked for, no more nor less. now if Moses would have asked "WHO" are you in Name, then God would have said "JESUS". game over close shop and go home. but Moses didn't, he asked "what" is your name. so I AM is what God is . I AM King of kings, LORD of Lords. I AM Creator & maker of all things. I AM saviour, and redeemer of mankind. I AM Comforter and Mediator. I AM your righteousness.... ect. see I AM is what he is but JESUS is who he is. and his dispensations in our History is "I AM (Gen 1:1 Spirit, Father), THAT (John 1:1 Spirit diversified in flesh, Son), I AM (Rev 1:1 Glorified in Spirit with flesh and bone, the HOLY SPIRIT) .
hoped that helped.
