God manifests Himself through His Word. His Word is not a person different from Him but God Himself manifesting, pronouncing Himself outwards in order to manifest Himself and act in His creation. The Word can not have a different conciousness than the Father, nor love the Father as a different person from Himslef. He is not a different person, He is God manifesting Himself.
This God that manifests Himself through his Word, was borned as a man in Virgin Mary's womb, utterly self-limiting his divinity, making Himself utterly a man, with all the limitations and all the dependency on God of every human. This, Jesus Christ, is the first regenerated Human being, that is not under Adam's sin yoke, that is the reason why He resurrected from the grave when He died. That is the reason why He is called "first-born from the dead" in Revelation. This man borned from Mary is to whom is called "The Son Of God". Being humanity engulfed in sin, it was needed that the only God was borned as a man and resurrected from the dead in order to open the way of regeneration for humanity.
God father was borned as man, with all the need and dependency of God , and with all the lackings of any other man; and as a man, he prayed to his father, to God. To this Holy Being that was borned is to whom is called "The Son Of God".
Once resurrected, He sent His Holy Spirit to the ones that believed in Him. This Holy Spirit (Acts 16:6), Christ Spirit (romans 8:9), Jesus Spirit (Acts 16:7), God's Spirit (romans 8:9), one only Spirit (Ephesians 4:4), is Christ's Holy presence within our hearts (Romans 8:9-11), the one that reproduces the holy image of the humanity with no sin of Jesus Christ; of the regenerated humanity in ours and make ourselfes "Sons of God".
This way the Trinity is the only and indivisible God manifesting Himself in three different ways in order to restore and save fallen humanity: 1- As Father (as God), 2- As Son (As a human being, Jesus Christ) 3- As Holy Spirit (As His Holy presence within our hearts that saves us regenerating our fallen image to God's Son image, doing us Sons).
-----------------------------------------
Now well, if we reed the book of Revelation, even if it is difficult to realize, we can bring more light to this salvation economy:
Saint Paul, in 1 Corinthians 15:24-28 says:
"Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power. For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. The last enemy that shall be destroyed is death. For he hath put all things under his feet. But when he saith all things are put under him, it is manifest that he is excepted, which did put all things under him. And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all." 1 Corinthians 15:24-28.
If we look Revelation we can see that this is described. In Revelation 20:14 takes place the Death of the Death (1 cor 15:26) and from there on it is when Christ subjects all things to the Father in order that God is "all in all". This is right after death is defeated. It is then that new heaven and new earth arrives, in Revelation 21 and 22, just right after the seventh cup of the seventh trumpet of the seventh seal; in the fullness of 777.
Well, if we look deeper, we can see that before death is defeated and Christ subjects all the things to His Father in order that God is "All in all"; Christ presents Himself as someone different from His Father, God. He still talks as a Humanbeing, not as God. For example in Revelation 5:6 and Daniel 7:13, where the lamb is described in front of the throne and the one who sits in the throne. Also in Revelation 1:6, 2:7, 2:27, 3:2, 3:5, 3:12, 3:21 where Christ refers to God as His God and His Father.
Nevertheless, right after death has been defeated, in the seventh cup of the seventh trumpet of the seventh seal; in the fullness of 777, when "the Son has subjected himself to the one who subjected all things to Him" 1 Corinthians 15:28, Jesus Christ sits in Gods Holy Throne and, from then on, he stops talking as someone different from His Father and He stops talking as a Son. It is then that He says: "And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful. And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. He that overcometh shall inherit all things; and I will be his God, and he shall be my son." Revelation 21:5-7
He says "it is done" (paralell to John 19:30), where He indicates that His redemptive work has been fully completed. He says "and I will be his God, and he shall be my son". That is, he has gone from occupying the place of Son and of Human to occupying the place of God and Father. Furthermore, we can see that from there on, in Revelation 22:3-4 it is written: "And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads." Revelation 22:3-4. In Greek it is also written in singular: "shall serve him","his face","his name".
The Lamb, the Man, has sitted in God's Throne, He has unified Himself with His divinity, having fullfilled His redemptive work He has unified Himself with God. His prayings in John
John 16:28 and john 17:5 has been fullfilled: "I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father." John 16:28. "And now, O Father, glorify thou me with thine own self with the glory which I had with thee before the world was." John 17:5. Having already redeemed Humanity having made them Sons of God, he stops occupying the place of Son to again accupy the place of Father, of God.
Resuming:
- First Resurrected Jesus is described as a man different from God taht refers God as "His God" Revelation 3:2, 3:12 and "His Father" Revelation 1:6, 2:27, 3:5, 3:21.
- We see Jesus in front of God's Throne in order to take the Book from the hands of God and open its seals: Revelation 5:6 and Daniel 7:13.
- Once He has opened the 7 seals and death has been defeated, New Jerusalem descends from God and from here on we can see that Jesus is described seatted in God's throne and Jesus stops talking as Man-Son and start talking as God-Father Revelation 21:5-7, and Jesus and God stop being described as two different "persons" but as the same one and the same; in one same Throne Revelation Ap 22:3, with one same Face and with one same Name Revelation 22:4. Probably the new Name to which Jesus refers in Revelation 3:12.
