This is the truth....
You're right! the LAMB IS JESUS. But I KNOW WHY. I CAN SAY, when you can't say.
Revelation calls Jesus a sign because THE REST OF THE BIBLE SAYS HE IS THE LAMB OF GOD THAT TAKES AWAY THE SINS OF THE WORLD.
Duh!
John 1:29 The next day John seeth Jesus coming unto him, and saith, Behold the Lamb of God, which taketh away the sin of the world.
We read a direct statement that JESUS is mentioned, and John says HE IS THE LAMB. We apply that to Revelation.
Just like
Psalm 1 says the tree is a believer and we apply that to Revelation.
THERE IS NOTHING IN REV 22 that says the vision is a picture of REALITIES. In fact, it cannot be realities,
BANG, you just wiped the ENTIRE chapter out right here, Mike!
because you admitted the LAMB is a SIGN OF JESUS and the river is a SIGN of the Holy Ghost. So when you say I am replacing a reality with a sign, that is wrong, because nothing says
Rev 22 is reality. Nothing says the LAMB is NOT a reality, either, but you agree it is NOT a reality. So you have no grounds to say PART of
Rev 22 is reality and PART is not. Nothing in the chapter says PART is sign and PART is reality.
So, as much as you CANNOT SAY anything about the LAMB, YOU LIKEWISE CANNOT SAY anything about the Tree of life. One chapter gives no more indication than the other chapter about the LAMB. nothing in the chapters about the LAMB say it is a sign any more than anything in
Rev 22 says it is NOT a sign.
Sow how do you know which part of
Rev 22 is a sign and which is not, if the chapter does not tell you itself?
If you can even follow what I am saying, which is doubtful, you will see you have no grounds to say ANYTHING about our claims of the tree of life.
