@twinc, no need to point anything out, not here to test your knowledge. but here to get understanding. Isaiah 41:4 "Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning?
I the LORD, the first, and
with the last;
I am
he”. I and he are single designations. So “I” the First is “
WITH” the Last, now, Isaiah 44:6 "Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I am the first,
and I am the last; and beside me there is no God”. here the LORD, (all cap) is the First “
AND” the Last, again “I” a single designation is “HE” a single designation. Now if that didn’t get your attention, listen, Isaiah 48:12 "Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I
also am the last”. the SAME “I” the first, a single designation is “
ALSO” I the Last.
Did anyone get the revelation? The First and the Last is a numerical difference of the same person, or self. not two person, and surely not three person. the Greek word for this numerical difference of the same person is G243 Allos, which means the expression of a numerical difference and denotes
another of the
same sort. "ANOTHER"...................... of the same Sort? sort here means in the same category, same class, same group, with the SAME NATURE. other words in Isaiah the I's First and Last are in the God class, or God Group, or God category, which there is only one. and the numerical difference is a "Diversity" or "Offspring" of oneself, supportive scripture, Revelation 22:16 "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". and the Greek word for "OFFSPRING" is
G1085 γένος genos (ǰe'-nos) n.
kin.
{abstract or concrete, literal or figurative, individual or collective}
[from G1096]
KJV: born, country(-man),
diversity, generation, kind(-red), nation, offspring, stock.
the KINSMAN REDEEMER of Jacob, who is ISRAEL...... us, spiritually speaking.
