The Visions of John on the Lord’s Day
Verse 1: The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to show unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:
Verse 2: Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.
The Book of Revelation begins with a clear declaration – “the revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him”. It was the revelation of Jesus Christ and not the revelation of John. It was the revelation which the Almighty God gave to His Son. Why? (Undoubtedly, there is a special relationship between the Almighty God and the Lord Jesus Christ.) The Revelation was given to Jesus Christ to show to His servants concerning things and events which must soon take place – from the time of John.
Our Lord Jesus sent and communicated His Revelation through and angel to John who recorded all that he saw in his visions. John was the beloved of the Lord Jesus Christ (John 13:23; 20:2). He is a type of the Beloved (bride) of Christ. Whatever things that were shown to John would have to be revealed to His bride. Because we are living at the final stretch of the closing period of the whole dispensation of the Seven Churches., we are privileged to see a clearer picture than those members of the bride in each of the past six Churches could see. Yes, this is the hour, not only for the Word but also for “the oil and the wine” – the anointing and the stimulation of revelation – of the Holy Spirit upon the Word. And this is the life that cannot be hurt (Revelation 6:6)
Verse:3 Blessed is he that read, and they hear the words of this prophecy, and keep those things which are written for the time is at hand.
The unfolding of the Revelation of Jesus Christ is for us to understand and to obey the words of prophecy that we may be a light in this world of spiritual darkness and always be ready and prepared for the return of the Lord. Many Christians are actually spiritually blinded by Satan who has entered the realm of religious Christianity since long time ago, and who has actually been worshipped in the organized churches today! Satan is the god of this evil age.
Verse 4: John to the seven churches which are in Asia: Grace be unto you, and peace, from him which is, and which was, and which is to come; and from the seven Spirits which are before his throne;
Verse 5: And from Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth. Unto him that loves us, and washed us from our sins in his own blood.
Verse 6: And hath made us kings and priest unto God and his Father; to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen.
Notice that there are three greeting from the throne area of Heaven. The first is from “him which is, and which was and which is to come”. The second is from “the seven spirits which are before his throne”. The third is from “Jesus Christ, who is the faithful witness, and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth”.
The One “which is and which was and which is to come” is the Eternal Invisible Spirit – Elohim, the Almighty One. He does not have, and never had a beginning: He will never have an end. He is always is because He always was and He always will be – the I AM. He is the Creator and the Father of all creations. But Jesus Christ who is the faithful witness and the first begotten of the dead, and the prince of the kings of the earth” is Elohim’s only begotten son who is vested with all His authority (Matthew 28:18).
Now, Jesus is the first begotten from the dead, which obviously means there will be others, after Him, who will be begotten from the dead. There will be a people who upon their translation, will also have the same glorified body that Jesus has. They are the true members of the Bride (body) of Christ. They are priests and subjects in His Kingdom for they all have direct access to Him.
Verse 7: Behold, he come with clouds; and every eye shall see him, and they also which pierced him: and all kindness of the earth shall wail because of him. Even so, Amen
This is not the coming of Christ for His Bride in the rapture. The rapture is a secret event of the world. Is this a true event or doctrine only? This is the Lord Jesus Christ coming back physically with His saints after they have supped at the marriage supper of the Lamb in heaven (Matthew 24:29-30)
Verse 8: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, said the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.
Do pay close attention to this verse that you may understand two terms in the verse which clearly show us the Oneness of the Godhead – all that God is, is in Christ Jesus. It will show you Who God is and Who Jesus is: they are One God. Notice the first statement – I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending – the Lord is speaking of His being in Time. Eternity has no time; it has no beginning and no ending.
Remember Jesus Christ had a beginning. He was born of a virgin, raised as a child and grew up as a man (Luke 2:40-52). But God is Spirit and will always be Spirit. He is invisible (1 Timothy 1:17). The only way we can see God is to see His works. At the appointed time, Jesus was empowered by the Word of God.
The Word of God which came forth in the beginning (John 1:1-4) was actually His creative self-revelation, “the side of God turned towards the world”. It was not another Spirit being Who was also God. There is but ONE SPIRIT, ONE TRUE GOD. The Trinity of God is a PAGAN CONCEPT. It has its root in the mystery religion spawned at Babel by Nimrod and his mother, Semiramis. The concept of multiple gods, by different names and titles, was greatly accepted throughout the time of the Greek and Roman world. The mystery of the doctrine of Trinity is a mystery created by the theologians.

Greetings
Like you, I see the deception of the trinity.
Nevertheless, I recommend the following video to aid you to have a better understanding of
"who Jesus actually is"
The Human Jesus
Take a couple of hours to watch it, and let me know what you think!
