  I am the reference!

  That part was not in quotes.

  I am saying that about those that have and will vote for any of those 3.

  My mocking of the supporters of those 3 is fair and equal.

  Those who voted for Biden are idiots
  Please provide a reference.

  A reference to what?

  Is it not the case that when it was Biden and Trump, that there were those that voted for Biden?

  And is it not so that before Biden was replaced with Harris that Biden got 14m votes to be the nominee?

  Why is it bad if God desires to rescue his Children?

  Rescue them from what?

  Which goes along with:

  Who put us under that death penalty?

  What did you personally do to deserve that death penalty?

  jude 1:9 (kjv) yet michael the archangel, when contending with the devil he disputed about the body of moses, durst not bring against him a railing accusation, but said, the lord rebuke thee.. matthew 4:10 (kjv) then saith jesus unto him, get thee hence, satan: for it is written, thou shalt worship the lord thy god, and him only shalt thou serve.

  .

  .....my understanding is that you all believe jesus is michael the archangel....... the two verses above describe two different personalities..... the archangel in jude rebuked satan in the name of the father, because he knew it was not his place to rebuke him, he knew that he didn't have the authority to do so, that the only person who possesses this authority is god himself.... while jesus, in matthew 4:10, does not need to invoke the name of the father to rebuke satan, because the father and jesus are one, not michael and jesus..... .... because michael the archangel is not jesus christ our savior.....

  Revelation only mentions Michael one time.

  [7 And war broke out in heaven: Miʹcha·el and his angels battled with the dragon, and the dragon and its angels battled 8 but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them any longer in heaven.]

  We know Michael is an archangel and as such he has his angels under his command.

  Jesus comes with an archangel's voice and commands his angels to gather his chosen ones together.

  If God is truth, and Jesus is the word/truth of God (Logos) he would have God’s name in him… Jesus, God’s messenger/angel when he walked the earth ("YHVH is salvation")

  
  

  יהוה Jehoah

  יהושע Jehoshua

  To his credit, one thing Trump does not do is mock the Biden and Camela voters!

  To be fair,

  Those who voted for Biden are idiots.

  Those who vote/d for Trump are idiots.

  Those who vote/d for Harris are idiots.

  So who receives the "blessing and the honor and the glory
  Are they not described collectively as if the lamb is an emanation of God?

  They both do and are worthy of such.

  Jehovah does because he is God Almighty.

  Jesus does because in Jehovah's view he earned such and as a result Jehovah exalted him and gave him authority. With that said, Jesus is not exalted over Jehovah, but he is over everything and everyone else.

  [ 27 For God “subjected all things under his feet.” But when he says that ‘all things have been subjected,’ it is evident that this does not include the One who subjected all things to him.]

  Those who insist that Jesus is merely an angel and not the Lord of Glory have troubles then with the following verses that show proper worship of Jesus Christ:

  You apparently have trouble with reasoning on the very Scriptures you cite.

  First off, Jesus is not just merely an angel (an angelic son of God). He his God's first angelic son. Being the first one the Jehovah created; it was only them two for a period of time. Then at that point whatever was created next, whether it was more angelic sons, or planets, stars, etc., Jesus was with Jehovah when the very next thing/s were created from that point on.

  Then it was this first created angelic son of God's that wanted to see his father's purpose for mankind to succeed, so was willing to come down to be the solution for what Adam's lost.

  Who is on the throne?

  Who is the Lamb?

  Are they ONE person or TWO separate?

  [5 And I saw in the right hand of the One seated on the throne a scroll written on both sides, sealed tight with seven seals. 2 And I saw a strong angel proclaiming with a loud voice: “Who is worthy to open the scroll and break its seals?” 6 And I saw standing in the midst of the throne and of the four living creatures and in the midst of the elders a lamb that seemed to have been slaughtered, ... 7 At once he came forward and took it out of the right hand of the One seated on the throne. 8 When he took the scroll, the four living creatures and the 24 elders fell down before the Lamb, and each one had a harp and golden bowls that were full of incense. 9 And they sing a new song, saying: “You are worthy to take the scroll and open its seals, for you were slaughtered and with your blood you bought people for God out of every tribe and tongue and people and nation, 11 And I saw, and I heard a voice of many angels around the throne and the living creatures and the elders, and the number of them was myriads of myriads and thousands of thousands, 12 and they were saying with a loud voice: “The Lamb who was slaughtered is worthy to receive the power and riches and wisdom and strength and honor and glory and blessing.” 13 And I heard every creature in heaven and on earth and underneath the earth and on the sea, and all the things in them, saying: “To the One sitting on the throne and to the Lamb be the blessing and the honor and the glory and the might forever and ever.” 14 The four living creatures were saying: “Amen!” and the elders fell down and worshipped.]

  [16 And they keep saying to the mountains and to the rocks: “Fall over us and hide us from the face of the One seated on the throne and from the wrath of the Lamb, 17 because the great day of their wrath has come, and who is able to stand?”]
