This is part of a series on “The Top Ten Questions to Ask Jehovah’s Witnesses.” This series is based partly on what I have successfully used during the past twelve years in discussions with Jehovah’s Witnesses and partly on what scholars and researchers suggest.

A Jehovah’s Witnesses will typically say that Revelation 1:8 is about Jehovah, not about Jesus. How can we overcome this obstacle? It’s simply a matter of examining the entire context of chapter 1 of Revelation, as this is revealed.
