Collosians 1:15--The FIRSTBORN of all creation= created direct first and last all other things created through him. Gods master worker speaking at Proverbs 8, tells all he was created.
Proof
Psalm 45:7-- You(Jesus) have loved righteousness and hated wickedness. That is why God, your God, has anointed you with the oil of exultation more than your partners( angels)
Hebrews 1:3-4--3) He ( Jesus) is the reflection( image) of his( God)glory and the exact representation of his very being, and he sustains all things by the word of his power, and after he made a purification for our sins he sat down on the right hand of the majesty( God) in lofty places. 4) So he has become better than the angels( partners) to the extent that he has inherited a name more excellent than theirs.
Psalm proves God did not come and Jesus has a God like he teaches-John 20:17, Rev 3:12
Hebrews shows he would be equal to the angels without inheriting that name from God--proving 100% he is not God and his words at John 17:1-6,26 are 100% truth==The one who sent him = Father is THE ONLY TRUE GOD--Verse 6= YHWH(Jehovah) verse 26= YHWH(Jehovah) ----hallowed be thy name = YHWH( Jehovah)
You are being mislead. Your translations are filled with error. they teach 2 different truths, 2 different Gods.
Correct you are being misled for sure.
Scripture declares He is God and I say what scripture declares regarding the Person of Christ.

1 John 5:20
We know also that the Son of God has come and has given us understanding, so that we may know him who is true. And we are in him who is true even in His Son
Jesus Christ. He is the true God and eternal life.
These passages in Revelation make it clear that Jesus is God. Remember it is Jesus in the GNT who is Coming back to earth that every eye will see. It was Jesus who was pierced on the cross for our sins. John is clearly once again calling Jesus God!!!!!!! The Coming and the coming in the clouds never refers to the Father in the GNT but always to Jesus.
Revelation 1:7-8
7 BEHOLD,
HE IS COMING WITH THE CLOUDS,
and every eye will see Him, even
those who pierced Him; and all the tribes of the earth will mourn over Him. So it is to be. Amen.
8 "
I Am the Alpha and the Omega,"
says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."
We know from Revelation 1:8 that
Alpha and Omega is the
Almighty. So we can see that Christ is the Almighty
Revelation 1:17
17And when I saw Him, I fell at his feet as dead. And He laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not;
I Am the first and the last:
We know from
Revelation 1:17-18 that the
first and the last is He that liveth, was dead, but is alive forevermore is Christ.
Revelation 22:12-13
12 "Behold,
I Am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. 13 "
I Am the Alpha and the Omega,
the first and the last, the beginning and the end."
We know from Revelation 22:13 that the
first and the last is the
Alpha and Omega.
Revelation 22:16,20
16 "
I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to you these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star."
20 He who testifies to these things says, "
Yes, I Am coming quickly." Amen.
Come, Lord Jesus.
Conclusion: So we can see that the One who comes/is coming in the NT always refers to Jesus
the Son of Man and NEVER refers to the Father. Therefore we can conclude it is Jesus who is coming whom John calls God the Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last.. This is sound biblical exegesis based on the context of the passage as well as the principle established in both Testaments on the One who is Coming in/with the Clouds-
The Son of Man not the Father !!!!!!
hope this helps !!!
