Remember that the truth in itself is jigsawed into many pieces and spread out within the Word with multiple revelations that are all interconnected and all tied to one complete jigsaw puzzle that comes together with those that have received the wisdom of enlightenment.
Revelation 1:1 “The revelation of Jesus Christ that God gave Him to show His slaves what must quickly take place. He sent it and signified it through His angel to His slave John,”
Here, we plainly see that Yahweh gave the message to Christ of the “revelation of Jesus Christ” and sent it (the message) through an angel that represented the Higher Authority of whom it was given to to deliver. Note also, that the message was meant for “His slaves” and not for those that are non-salvageable, because they would not understand the spiritual sense of the inspired message sent forth.
“Dictionary:
signify >verb (signifies, signfied) 1 be an indication of. 2 be a symbol of; have as meaning. 3 indicate or declare (a feeling or intention). 4 be of importance: the locked door doesn’t necessarily signify.
-DERIVATIVES signification >noun.
-ORIGIN Latin significare ‘indicate, portend’, from signum ‘token’.”
Therefore, to SIGNIFY was to be a declaration of Yahweh’s intentions; also that it represented importance as a SYMBOLIC message in spiritual nature.
Please note that Yahweh gave Christ that Revelation. Christ, as the Word, had a beginning as pointed out in Proverbs 8 as the master craftsman. Yet, Yahweh had no beginning. He has always existed. On the other hand, the Word (Jesus Christ) was the beginning of Yahweh’s creation. After the Word was created, the Word created everything else.
Then at Revelation 3:14 “To the angel of the church in Laodicea write: “The Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Originator of God’s creation says:”
Note that this was given to the angel of the faithful in Laodicea; denoting that the Amen represents Christ as the faithful and true Witness that came forth in representing Yahweh’s Truth, and is the Originator – the one that the beginning of our time (Mankind’s conception into creation) started with, and was therefore the Originator / creator as a master worker of Yahweh’s in manifesting our beginning.
That Scripture also shows that Christ was faithful, and was the Originator of Yahweh’s creation. That’s because he was the first and only direct creation of Yahweh. The scriptures note that Christ is the Only-Begotten Son. There are many sons of Yahweh. But the Word is Only-Begotten because he was Yahweh’s only direct creation. The angels are Yahweh’s sons also, but were created by the Word as the master craftsman.
John 3:16 “For God loved the world in this way: He gave His One and Only Son, so that everyone who believes in Him will not perish but have eternal life.”
Dictionary: ” originate >verb 1 have a specified beginning. 2 create or initiate.
-DERIVATIVES origination >noun originator >noun.”
Revelation 1:8 I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “the One who is, who was, and who is coming, the Almighty.”
Yahweh is the Alpha and Omega. Although the Word (Jesus) was created a God, he was not an Almighty God.
Jesus said at John 14:28 “…because the Father is greater than I.” that his Father was greater than him. But the Word, in order to be able to create life, he had to be a God himself. No other creation – not any angel, whom are superior in creative design to all but Jesus and Yahweh, not even they can create life. Angels do not share the Godship that Jesus shares with his Father. Only Yahweh could bestow that gift upon the Word.
