Weanie.

You take Jesus being the root of David to mean that David was Jesus' root ancestor.
But that's opposite to what Jesus said, isn't it?
Jesus is the root of David, not David the root of Jesus.

Jesus would not have needed to say the root and the offspring,
if He was only the offspring, and David was the root, would He have?
Are you following?
It is said in earlier scriptures, He was of the "seed of David", and of the "House of David".
Revelation added that Jesus is also the root of David.
That is not of the root of David, but is the root of David.
And is the offspring.

Before Abraham, Jesus was, so the Son of man is the root of both David and Jesus,
and Jesus was a descendant of David, by lineage.

Any lighter?
`Paul

And one of the elders saith unto me,
Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David,
hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Revelation 5:5
