v8 refers to God upon the throne - the Subject of the Book of Revelation, as the Authority of the Godhead for Salvation and Judgment. In this Book He is always referred to as He which is, which was and which is to come, as in v4. It is v11 that refers to the Lord Jesus Christ - equal with God on the Throne but has submitted Himself to being the Lamb (28 times in Revelation!!). verses 8 and 11 "I am Alpha and Omega" show clearly They are Equal, but with different functions for the Salvation of fallen mankind. Sorry to see this excellent website fall for this very common, but easily avoided mistake if the Scriptures are read properly!!
