Why is the Holy Spirit no longer mentioned in Rev. 21 & 22?
The deeds that the Holy Spirit performs are deeds only a person can do.
1. Teaching
These things we also speak not in words which mans wisdom teaches but which the Holy Spirit teaches, comparing spiritual things with spiritual (1 Corinthians 2:13).
2. Giving Guidance
For as many as are led by the Spirit of God, these are the sons of God (Romans 8:14).
3. Comforting
Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away; for if I do not go away, the Comforter will not come to you; but if I depart, I will send him to you (John 16:7KJV).
4. Commanding
Then the Spirit said to Philip, "Go near and overtake this chariot" (Acts 8:29).
5. Giving Understanding
However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak (John 16:13).
6. Speaking
As they ministered to the Lord and fasted, the Holy Spirit said, "Now separate to Me Barnabas and Saul for the work which I have called them" (Acts 13:2).
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. Who is the Spirit of God? Of course is God who is a spirit: "God is a spirit" (John 4:24). This is distinct from the "Father" (of the sign of the cross), who is NOT a spirit and is NOT here ("the world has not known you").
The Holy Spirit is the Spirit of God. The Spirit of God is God's own spirit. We may receive God's Spirit through His Son Jesus Christ. "I am the way, the truth and the life. No man comes to the Father, but by me."
Person 3 is an amalgamation of the spirits of Person 1 and Person 2.
