Revelation 1:8 KJV
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

It seems to me that some people read this verse as though it were saying, "which is (does exist), and which was (did exist), and which is to come (will exist)".

The word translated "which is to come" is the nominative form of "erchomai", I come. The One Who is coming. He's coming here!

Even so, come Lord Jesus!

Much love!

As you did sir, many versions of the Bible omit the word God after Lord, making it difficult in knowing who the verse is referring to.

Revelation 1:8 EMTV
"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says the Lord God, "He who is and He who was and He who is to come, The Almighty."

Yes, Jesus is the LORD God.

The One Who is coming.

Zechariah 14:3-4 KJV
3) Then shall YHWH go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4) And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.

YHWH, the One Who is to come, the coming one.

Much love!

Now you have chosen a version that made it clear sir, by leaving God there, it is clear that it is God who is the Almighty. So now all you have to do is figure out who God is and you have it.
