   representations of Christ John has already given, whereby he in citing or   
   alluding to Old Testament passages has applied to Jesus Christ in the book of   
   Revelation what is in the Old Testament spoken of Jehovah (see related notes   
   at Act 11:21 note. Col 1:16 note. +*1Pe 2:3 note). Herman Gebhardt states   
   "that qualities, actions, and conditions which belong specifically to God,   
   are also ascribed to Christ, and to Him only," and "in Old Testament   
   expressions things which otherwise belong to God are frequently affirmed of   
   Christ. It is said of Christ that ’His head and His hairs were white like   
   wool,’ Rev 1:14; and in Dan 7:9, God is so represented. The eyes of Christ   
   are as a flame of fire, Rev 1:14; Rev 2:18; Rev 19:12; and in the same words   
   God’s omniscience is symbolized as directed with holy indignation against   
   all unrighteousness, Dan 10:6, The feet of Christ are ’like unto fine   
   brass, as if they burned in an oven,’ Rev 1:15; Rev 2:18; the same image   
   represents God’s power in treading down the wicked, Dan 10:6; Ezk 1:7, The   
   voice of Christ is as the voice of many waters, Rev 1:15; and we find a   
   similar representation of God’s power against His enemies, Dan 10:6; Ezk   
   1:24; Ezk 43:2; Psa 93:3, Christ’s countenance is as the sun shining in his   
   strength, Rev 1:16; and so it is said of God, Dan 10:6 (compare Jdg 5:21).   
   The seer fell down before Christ as if dead, Rev 1:17; a similar effect was   
   wrought by the appearance of God, Exo 33:20; Isa 6:5; Ezk 1:28; Dan 8:17-18;   
   Dan 10:7-9, Christ says, ’I am He that searcheth the reins and hearts, and   
   will give unto every one of you according to your works,’ Rev 2:23; and we   
   read that ’the righteous God trieth the hearts and reins,’ Psa 7:9, and   
   that He ’renders to every man according to his work,’ Psa 62:12, Christ   
   says, ’As many as I love I rebuke and chasten,’ Rev 3:19; and in Pro 3:12   
   we read ’whom the Lord loveth He correcteth.’ Christ calls Himself ’the   
   Amen,’ Rev 3:14; and the same expression is used of God, Isa 65:16, The   
   Lamb has ’seven horns and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God   
   sent forth into all the earth,’ Rev 5:6; and in Zec 4:10 we read of ’the   
   eyes of the Lord, which run to and fro through the whole earth.’ According   
   to Rev 7:17, the Lamb will feed His people, and lead them to fountains of   
   living waters; and the same thing is said of Jehovah in Isa 49:10, What is   
   said of the anger of Christ, Rev 19:15 (compare Rev 14:10; Rev 14:14-16), is   
   drawn from a similar passage respecting God in Isa 63:1-6, The ’vesture   
   dipped in blood,’ worn by Christ, Rev 19:12, is said to have been worn by   
   God, Isa 63:1-2” [UCRT]

   As you can see from what was stipulated above, you and your org are in   
   previous error.   
   The end of which will result in eternal death, wherein the flames of torment   
   never cease, and the worm dieth not. From which a person can be delivered if   
   they were Born Again, into the newness of Life through Yeshua the Messiah,   
   The one who was risen from the dead. Yeshua/Jesus.   
      
   See if you can disprove all of the above.
