At Revelation 1:4 (p. 5)
The Persons from whom, are Three, or, the Three Persons of the Trinity. 1. From the Father, which is which was and which is to come, that is from God the Father described from his eternal Being without all beginning or ending. And this Description of the Father relates to that of Exod. 14, "I AM THAT I AM hath sent me unto you," and it is a Name that God often taketh to himself: The first and the last, the beginning and the ending, and the Title JEHOVAH taketh up these three JE the future time HO the time present VAH the time past. In a word it's the Paraphrase of the Word JEHOVAH and this Title is attributed to the Father not secluding the Son and holy Ghost, but the Father, being the Fountain of the Godhead, when he is joined with the Son and Spirit those things that are essential to God are ordinarily attributed to him.
At Revelation 4:8 (p. 352)
The third Attribute mentioned, is, His Eternity, in these words, which was, and is, and is to come: wherof often hath been spoken; and it is mentioned to advance the Glory of God infinitely beyond all created Idols who have had their beginning, and are going on unto a decay, and will ere long come to be destroyed: but the portion of Jacob is not so, who in all the tossings of the world, continueth the same, and of His years there is no end.
At Rev. 11:17 (p. 645)
In the first, vers. 17, they begin with God's title, Lord God Almighty, which art, and wast, and art to come: it was spoken of before, and is here applied, to show ...
At Rev. 16:5 (p. 779)
1. That commended, is God's eternity and unchangeableness, it is the same with His name JEHOVAH, these three syllables making up this, which art, and wast, and shall be; and it especially relates to God's faithfulness when He is now known by that Name as He was to Israel, Exod. 3, and that other pitched upon, is God's justice, not simply, but as proportioning suitable judgments to the party plagued.
