The book of Revelation speaks about a falling away from the Truth in the latter times and so does the Lord Jesus..........
Rev 2:17 - He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna,--> (word of God) and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.
The sad part about these verses you quote, most said Christians look at them and immediately dismiss that it could very well be applying to them.
Their mind goes, that's for those other people, them over there so to speak.
The Bible says, the path or gate is narrow and few find it = FEW.
The OT pretty much says, what happened in the past, repeats itself and they say it was only around 150 years after the flood that the key truths were done away with.
Jesus says, it will be like the days of Noah, around 150 years after Jesus and going by the actual words of the Bible, the same happened.
3 sun gods, Ba'al in the temples (people) = trinity gods, was introduced.
We are warned about the angel of light, IMO, that's means there will be a mimic, extremely hard to tell the difference (see example following).
And what do your verses say - ‘Lord, Lord, did we not prophesy in Your name, and in Your name drive out demons and perform many miracles?
Trinities claim to do all sorts in Jesus's name.
And one needs to take note here = is says, some which Jesus does not know, performed miracles = who or what spirit was aiding them, as I expect, it is not God's?
In Jesus's name;
According to Rev 19:12-13 which is where Jesus is about to return, that name would be The Word of God, but the Bible here, which most just ride over says, no man knows this name.
And I would say, trinities still do not and neither do the JW's as you all think it is saying, He is "the word" and it says nothing of a sort as The Word is the Almighty God and Father of Jesus.
In fact, this Rev verse does not even mean, Jesus is the Word of God, it's a name only, that represents, means, the role that was given to him by God.
Luke 4:18 - The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the good news (flesh) to the poor; he hath sent me to heal the brokenhearted, to preach deliverance to the captives, and recovering of sight to the blind, to set at liberty them that are bruised, (John 3:34 in fact says, He was given this Holy Spirit without measure for this very purpose).
John 12:49 - For I have not spoken of myself; but the Father which sent me, he gave me a commandment, what I should say, and what I should speak. (Just as prophesied or told to Moses in Deu 18:18).
And what term or title does Jesus use for "the word of God" = The word.
Luke 8:12-13 - Those by the way side are they that hear; then cometh the devil, and taketh away the word out of their hearts, lest they should believe and be saved.
They on the rock are they, which, when they hear, receive the word with joy; and these have no root, which for a while believe, and in time of temptation fall away.
In the beginning was the word,......and GOD (not Jesus) was the Word = The word of Life 1 John 1:1 and this very verse is in reference to John 1:3, creation. And John 1:4 as in the Almighty God and Father is Life.......
So what did Jesus get when receiving the Spirit and The Word at BAPTISM;
John 5:26 - For as the Father has life in himself (John 1:4) so has he given to the son the have life in himself. = Life is in the word of God.
1 Peter 1:3 - Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God, which liveth and abideth for ever.
John 3:5 - Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water and ofthe Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
One verse here says you are born again via the word of God and the other by the Spirit, following is the clear explanation for it;
John 6:63 (Jesus speaking the Almighty God and Fathers words) - It is the spirit that quickeneth; the flesh profiteth nothing: the words that I speak unto you, they are spirit, and they are life.
You are born again via one way, hence the Spirit and Word here are interchanged, which also means they come from the One God, Almighty God and Father OF Jesus.
The Bible is very clear, Jesus was given them, so if he was given the Word, there is no way you can be the thing you are given.
So Jesus is neither the word or the word of God, name only = the word of God.
There is zero justification for the Word to be written as such in John, singled out and a capital W placed in it.
Greek used all capitals.
From my understanding, at least 400 years out from Jesus coming, it was well and truly established and known that Logos also represented, mind, reasoning, though etc, which is precisely what John 1:1-2 is all about.
The 2 verses are to establish, what and who was in the Beginning and by verse 1:3, aligns word and God as Him = One only, as in singular.
Example of inner logos;
Titus 1:2 - In hope of eternal life, which God, that cannot lie, promised before the world began;
Acts 15:18 - Known unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.
In the beginning was the word (Titus 1:2, Acts 15:18 and Rev 13:8 etc), the word (Titus etc) was with God (Greek truth--> and God was the word.
1:2 - The same, this, it--> (Greek)(Titus etc) was in the beginning with God.
1:3 - The word of life = Creation,
1:4 In him (God) was life and that life was the light of men. = The word of God IS the Light Psa 119:105, one of many and already in the world before Jesus, and James 1:17 clearly show the Almighty God and Father to be the Father of lights.
Jesus is not our Father.
Jesus by receiving the Spirit/Word = John 12:46 I am come a light into the world. (Titus fulfillment etc, part of the word of God).
James 1:17 - Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
John 4:24 Spirit God is = The one and only Holy Spirit, is his personal Spirit, there is but ONE Spirit.
All power is from this Holy Spirit, so to suggest it is not God's personal spirit, is to create another spirit and suggest this holy spirit god is more powerful than the Almighty God and Father.
In a nut shell, you are creating another = Idol.
So the trinity removes his Spirit, The word and the true light from him in John 1:9 leaving him with Zero, and the JW's, like it or not, have taken on some of the Ba'al, trinity ingredients.
Almighty God and Father = Spirit/Word/Light.
