Commentary on Revelation 1:4
The Trinitarian greeting reflects the eternal, unchanging nature of God. 'Which is, and which was, and which is to come' echoes Exodus 3:14 ('I AM'), affirming God's self-existence and sovereignty over all time. The 'seven Spirits' likely represents the Holy Spirit in His fullness (Isaiah 11:2 lists seven aspects), with seven symbolizing completeness. This Trinitarian structure—Father, Spirit, Son (v. 5)—grounds the church's peace in the eternal counsel of the Godhead, not temporal circumstances. Grace and peace flow from divine sovereignty, a cornerstone of Reformed soteriology.
