throughout the whole Revelation mentioned separately y
and distinctly from God : Ch. i. 1 : " The Revelation of\
Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him." Ver.,2 : " Who 0
bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of \
Jesus Christ" Vers. 4, 5 : "And peace from him who-c
is, and who was, and who* is to come ; and from the e
seven spirits which are before his throne ; and from Jesus x
Christ, who is the faithful witness. Ver. 9 : " For the word f
of God, and for the testimony of Jesus Christ." Ch. v. 9 ::::
" Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God." Ver. 10 ; ;
"And hast made us unto our God kings and priests." Ch.. .

kingdoms of our Lord, and of his Christ" Chap. xii. .

the testimony of Jesus Christ." Ch. xiv. 12: "That
keep the commandments of God, and the faith of
Jesus." Ch. xxi. 23 : *' For the glory of God did
lighten it, and the Lamb is the light thereof." John
in ascribing to the Lamb most honorary epithets,.,
those generally printed in capitals, takes great care
in the choice of words. Ch. xix. 16 : " He (the Lamb)
hath on bis vesture and on his thigh a name written,..
King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. Ch. xvii. 14 :
For " he (the Lamb) is Lord of lords, and King of kings.'"
The apostle never once declares him to be " God of
Gods," the peculiar epithet of the Almighty Power. So-
the most holy saints sing first the song of Moses, and
then that of the Lamb ; having perhaps had in view the-
priority of the former to the latter in point of birth. Ch-
xv.3 : "And they (the holy saints) sing the song of
Moses, the servant of God, and the song of the Lamb."
