Who is

To the angel of the congregation in Laodicea write: The Amen, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of God's creation says this:

His descendants will last forever. His throne will be in my presence like the sun.

Behold, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander of the nations.

This is the truth. We speak what we know and witness about what we have seen. But you do not receive our testimony.

Pilate said: Are you a king then? Jesus answered: As you say I am a king. I was born and came into the world for this purpose, that I should bear witness to the truth! Every one who is of the truth hears my voice.

There are three that testify: (Latin Vulgate: tres testimonium: three that testify.)

And the first

Yes, all kings will bow down before him. All nations will serve him.

I will also appoint him my firstborn, the highest of the kings of the earth.

Kings reign by me, and princes decree justice.

The king summoned the magicians, enchanters (conjurers), sorcerers, and the Chaldeans and commanded them to tell the king about his dreams. They came in and stood before the king.

He was given legal power and a kingdom. Out of his glory all the peoples, nations, and languages will serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away. His kingdom will not be destroyed. (Revelation 11:15) (Daniel 2:44) (Psalm 45:6)

Jesus came to them and spoke to them, saying: All authority has been given to me in heaven and on earth.

Him

You were chosen because Jehovah loved you and kept the oath he swore to your fathers. So he used his mighty hand to bring you out. He freed you from slavery under Pharaoh king of Egypt.

I have been impaled with Christ. It is no longer I that live, but Christ lives in me. The life that I now live in the flesh (physical body) I live by faith. This is the faith that is in the Son of God. He loved me and gave himself up for me.

But God, being rich in mercy, because of his great love with which he loved us,

Walk in love, even as Christ also loved you, and gave himself up for us. He was an offering and a sacrifice to God for a sweet smelling odor.

In this is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation (atonement) (sacrificial payment) for our sins.
