Revelation of John 22:6
Revelation of John 22:8
Revelation of John 22:16
The root and the offspring of David; these words are commonly interpreted to mean that Christ is the root of David--the ground of his being--in respect to his divine nature; and his offspring in respect to his human nature. Compare Ps 110:1; Mt 22:42-46; Ac 2:34-36. But a comparison with Isa 11:1, to which there is a plain reference, leads rather to the idea that Christ is called the root and offspring of David as growing out of his root; that is, as being his true progeny according to the promises of the Old Testament.The--morning star; ushering in upon his people the splendors of eternal day.
