Yehovah -- a component of the same "force" that directly communicated with Shemaiah, Nathan
and John the Baptist.

Finally, in Revelation 1:2, "the Word of God" is clearly separated from Christ -- notice!

This is the revelation which God gave to Yeshua the Messiah, so that he could show his
servants what must happen very soon. He communicated it by sending his angel to his
servant Yochanan [John], who bore witness to THE WORD OF GOD AND to the
testimony of Yeshua the Messiah....

The next verse, verse 14 of Revelation 19, states that "the ARMIES OF HEAVEN, clothed
in fine linen, white and pure, were following him [Adonai, Yehovah (see verse 6)] on white
horses." Throughout the New Testament the "armies of heaven" are ALWAYS associated with, and
are commanded by, ADONAI -- who, according to the plain words of the apostle James is THE
FATHER! "With it [the tongue] we bless ADONAI, THE FATHER; and with it we curse people,
who were made in the image of God" (James 3:9) -- Jewish New Testament). Further, in Ephe-
sians 1:3, this is echoed when Paul says -- "Praised be ADONAI, FATHER OF OUR LORD YE-
SHUA THE MESSIAH..."

In Revelation 1:8 we find written: "I am the 'A' and the 'Z,'" says ADONAI [YEHOVAH,
YHVH], God of HEAVEN'S ARMIES, the One [ADONAI] who is, who was AND WHO IS
COMING." Again, in Revelation 4:8: "Holy, holy, holy is ADONAI, GOD OF HEAVEN'S AR-
MIES, the One who was, who is and who IS COMING." Also, in Revelation 11:16 -- "We thank
you, ADONAI [YEHOVAH, YHVH], GOD OF HEAVEN'S ARMIES, the One who is and was,
that you have taken your power [in the form of the "Shekinah"] AND HAVE BEGUN TO RULE
[ON EARTH AFTER HIS COMING IN REVELATION 19].

I don't wish to seem redundant, but the One on the white horse leading the armies of heaven
to this earth is YEHOVAH THE FATHER in His "Shekinah form -- NOT Jesus Christ the
Messiah!

Moving now to verse 16 of Revelation 19, we read -- "And on his robe and on his thigh he
has a name written: 'KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.'" These titles denote the ultimate
in praise that can be bestowed and, therefore, must be titles of Yehovah the Father. Throughout the
New Testament Christ indicates that the Father was far GREATER than he -- see John 14:28 for
example. Also, if we examine the original Greek for "King of kings and Lord of lords" we will
quickly discover that the first "King" and the first "Lord" in this title both start with upper case let-
ters -- showing Him to be the ULTIMATE "King" of all kings and the ULTIMATE "Lord" of all
lords. Some argue that the Lamb (Christ) depicted in Revelation 17:14 also has these titles and
must, as a result, be the Rider of the horse represented in Revelation 19. But, once again, if we
closely examine the original Greek we will first of all find that the title is REVERSED from that in
Revelation 19 and reads instead "lord of lords and king of kings." Then we will notice that the first
"lord" and the first "king" of the title are lower case in the Greek -- showing that Christ was (as
pictured here in Revelation 17:14) NOT the ultimate "lord of lords" or the ultimate "king of kings."
He is a LOWER "lord of lords" and "king of kings," which entirely agrees with Jesus' statement
that his Father was greater than he.
