“I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I AM the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.” – Revelation 22:16 (ESV)
Yesterday we looked at the original name for Himself that God gave to Moses, I AM than I AM. That name and the words I AM are used by Jesus in many places in the New Testament. The last time is in the last book, “The Revelation of Jesus Christ.” The Revelation was given to Apostle John while he was exiled to the Island of Patmos. Revelation is given to us who believe and are members of the Churches that are the body of Christ that we might know what is coming. In these last verses John records the words given to him by Jesus and He sends His angel to testify that all that John wrote had come from Jesus and was true. Jesus promises again that He has the right to rule from David’s throne. Looking back to chapter 5:5 John was told of Jesus that He is “the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David,” We have the promise from the words of Jesus that He will one day, as the qualified originator (root) and descendant of the throne of David, He will be the final and ultimate King of all.
