JESUS introduces HIMSELF to the 7 churches

 

The LORD JESUS said:

Revelation 1:8

King James Version

8 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.

How did the LORD introduce Himself to the SEVEN churches in Asia?

Why is it important to know that?

This BOOK is the Revelation of Jesus Christ.

The HOLY SPIRIT wants us to know the might, and power, of the LORD.

It is time we acknowledged His power over ALL people, the churches, and over EVERYTHING God gave Him.

For greater emphasis, Spirit and I highlighted the words JESUS spoke of Himself, even as all words on these verses were His.
