JW's: Who is the speaker in Revelation 22:12?

Post #1

Revelation 22:12
Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to render to every man according to what he has done. (NASB)

The speaker in Revelation 22:12 refers to Jehovah and not to the Lord Jesus.
Insight on the Scriptures: The Alpha and the Omega of verses 12-15, therefore, may properly be identified as the same one who bears the title in the other two occurrences: Jehovah God. The expression, Look! I am coming quickly, in verse 12, does not require that these aforementioned verses apply to Jesus, inasmuch as God also speaks of himself as coming to execute judgment. (Compare Isa 26:21.) (Alpha and Omega, Volume 1)

The speaker in Revelation 22:12 refers to the Lord Jesus.
The Watchtower: In the last book of the Bible, the glorified Christ Jesus stresses the suddenness of his coming, saying: I am coming quickly. (Revelation 3:11; 22:7, 12, 20) (Prove Yourself Ready for Jehovah's Day, December 15, 2003)

Does this mean there are errors in them?
ANYTHING that involves human beings will have errors. Do you listen to a perfect clergyman or other adherent to your belief? Are the books and articles you read totally without error?

The only person, besides Adam, that ever lived on the earth that was perfect was Jesus. And his disciples were always making errors. That didn't make them false disciples.

You are misinformed. You'd be better off to go straight to the source of JWs' beliefs to find the correct ideas. www.jw.org Instead of the out-in-left-field apostate websites.
Is the following site apostate?
https://wol.jw.org/en/wol/d/r1/lp-e/2003924
If it's not an official JW website it probably is.

Did I do a one-liner, even though he asked me a one-liner question? That is, he asked a question that only required a one-line answer?

BTW, Faber, that IS a legitimate JW website. I just haven't used it yet because I am used to using the CD-Roms for the library. All the new technology is beyond my simple brain's comprehension. :confused2: Sorry for the mix-up.
