This question is reflected in the conflict-free Chapter of Revelation 22:16. It is written, “I am the root and the offspring of David,” says Jesus. This reveals that the root represents the "deity" of Jesus, being the Creator of David; being the offspring of David reveals the "humanity" side of Jesus, being a descendant of King David’s ancestry.
