Biblical Exegesis:Revelations 22:16

Although this passage was pointed out in an attempt reject the virgin birth, TheGodless (from Twitter), doesn't seem to recognize that He pointed out a verse of scripture that says a lot about who Jesus is.

"I, Jesus, have sent my angel to give you this testimony for the churches. I am the Root and the Offspring of David, and the bright Morning Star." - Revelations 22:16

Let's unpack this. This is the resurrected Christ speaking. The Apostle John is telling about the revelations he has been given. This includes Jesus speaking to him directly. While TheGodless wants to focus on the pharse "the Offspring of David," because it shows that Jesus was David's descendant which he says means that Mary was not a virgin when she gave birth to Jesus. However he missed the point...Jesus was not Joseph's blood son, but Mary's and she was a descendant of  David. Also, more importantly,. look at what Jesus says. Jesus says He is the Root and Offspring of David. This means He is the source and the descendant of David! He also says He is the bright Morning Star. The original audience of the the Book of Revelations would have understood Jesus to be talking about His Deity. The only way a person can be all of these is if He is God.
