In this episode of Quest 4 Truth, Doug Hamp and Rob Skiba tackle Revelation 1 together. How should we read Revelation? Who are we in Christ? Who are the 7 Churches? Who are the ones in Revelation 1:7 who pierced Christ, and will see Him when He comes on the clouds? What’s up with Longinus, Cartaphilus, Ahasuerus and the Spear of Destiny? Are there immortals among us or is the text simply talking about the Jews and/or Romans? And what about the Alpha and Omega (Aleph and Tav in Hebrew)? Is Revelation 1:8 giving us a clue to understanding the Hebrew of Zechariah 12:10, or is the Aleph-Tav not really a representation of Christ at all? Find out as we continue on a quest for truth.

Alpha means beginning, Omega means ending. That is the correct meaning of what the Almighty is saying in his declaration with a period to it. HE declared the word I AM, so why not look how many times THE ALMIGHTY declare in the Scriptures I AM????
When the Almighty said EVERY EYE WILL SEE HIM, it means when that sky rolls up like a scroll,<<< the stars fall from the sky, the sun and moon no longer give its light, then everyone will now understand the Almighty has been looking at everything from the Beginning to the End, right above us, and they will see HIS THRONE RIGHT THERE because Earth has been sitting on 4 pillars the entire time, and when you look down at the bottomless pit, you cannot see the bottom of it!!!!!
Example. Say you gather up some wood, you fashion it to make a small tiny dresser, or a small tiny table, you are the creator you place it on the floor and look down upon it!!!! Same thing what the Almighty did making the Earth and the Moon and the Stars, and the Sun!!!!!!
The Almighty sits on the Throne and Earth is HIS FOOTSTOOL!!!!!!! Ditto.
Not to forget either the Lord said you shall not see my face until you finally admit and acknowledge the Lord. Rather than letting HIS displeasure of what and who we are by not destroying us in the midst of His Anger, HE walked away to cool off and will stay away until that appointed time.
You Hamp need to leave that Hebrew crap alone and read the context of what is written in the Book, and not interject with opinions that are contrary to what is written, by saying well Hebrew word is this and that it means this etc.
And to both of you, it speaks of TRIBES Who do you think TRIBES refer to??? How many Tribes does Israel have??? Ah, wow!!!!!
I think Doug is to blind to realize how much he doesnt know.
God created the Jewish nation of people in Egypt not Israel, they were always at their strongest when they were not in their home land in Israel, problems always plague the Jews in their land. I wonder if God's people were supposed to be considered nomadic as the most high only mentioned a home land once they needed somewhere to go after being driven out of Egypt. In my opinion through my own research the people who act and hold the core values of the original Jews were always and still the Jews of Ethiopia. The original idea is still kept there. Not a tainted zionist view that prevails in Israel today
Peter was saying Babylon as in Jerusalem.
