In Revelation 22:3-4 it says, And there shall be no more curse, but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it, and HIS HIS HIS (SINGULAR) servants shall serve HIM HIM HIM (SINGULAR). They shall see HIS HIS HIS (SINGULAR) face, and HIS HIS HIS (SINGULAR) name shall be on their foreheads.
When describing the throne of God & the Lamb, the verse NEVER says THEY OR THEIR, BUT HIM OR HIS.
HEAR O ISRAEL THE LORD OUR GOD IS ONE LORD!!!!

Jesus and God are ONE!!

John 4:24, Jesus says, "God is a Spirit".
Colossians 1:15, speaking of Jesus, "Who is the image
of the invisible God".
Colossians 2:9, "For IN him dwelleth ALL THE FULNESS
OF THE GODHEAD BODILY". That leaves no other part
of the Godhead to be in existance.
Ephesians 4:4, "There is one body, and one Spirit".
Psalms 16:8-9, "I have set the Lord always before me: BECAUSE HE IS AT MY RIGHT HAND, I shall not be moved. Therefore my heart is glad, and my glory rejoiceth:::
MY FLESH ALSO SHALL REST IN HOPE". These 2 verses each have a star beside them showing them to be prophecy of Jesus. Notice that in verse 8, God is at Jesus'
RIGHT HAND. They are one and the same.
Ezekiel 43:5-6, "So the spirit took me up, and brought me
into the inner court; and, behold, THE GLORY OF THE LORD FILLED THE HOUSE. And I heard him speaking unto me out of the house; AND THE MAN STOOD BY ME".
God the Spirit is everywhere present, and filled the house,
but God's body stood by Ezekiel. That man that stood by
Ezekiel was Jesus, the Word.
Psalms 132:11, "The Lord hath sworn in truth unto David;
he will not turn from it; Of the fruit of thy body WILL I SET upon thy throne". Of the fruit of David's body will God set upon David's throne. That was Jesus, the temple of God, the Spirit.
God is not an office filled by 3 persons. GOD IS A SPIRIT, and His body is Jesus, the Word, and they are ONE.

Are you trying to establish the Lamb and God as being one?
The Lamb makes his appearance back in Rev. 5:6-10. It talks about the things the Lamb did FOR God.
Rev 14:1 says people would have the name of the Lamb's Father written on their foreheads.
21:14 Talks about the 12 apostles of the Lamb.
It is perfectly reasonable that Revelation 22 Speak of God on his throne, mentioning the Lamb alongside him, then continue to refer only to God himself.
God IS one.

At Revelation 22:3 the promise is made concerning the New Jerusalem that “no more will there be any curse. ” This appears to serve as a contrast with earthly Jerusalem, which did come under God’s curse. It is likewise in sharp contrast to the cursed condition that results to the symbolic city Babylon the Great as a result of God’s judicial decree against her. The “anathema” pronounced against her is evident from the command given at Revelation 18:4-8.
When the Israelite priesthood became corrupt, it suffered Jehovah’s curse. Jerusalem’s faithless “house” was pronounced abandoned by Jesus. But in New Jerusalem, “no more will there be any curse.” All its inhabitants have been tested in the fire of trials here on earth, and having gained the victory, they will have ‘put on incorruption and immortality.’ In their case, Jehovah knows, just as he knew with Jesus, that they will never fall away. Further, “the throne of God and of the Lamb” will be there, making the city’s position secure for all eternity.
Like John himself, all future members of that celestial city are “slaves” of God. As such, they have God’s name prominently written on their forehead, identifying him as their Owner. They will count it an inestimable privilege to render him sacred service as part of New Jerusalem. While Jesus was on earth, he made a thrilling promise to such prospective rulers, saying: “Happy are the pure in heart, since they will see God.” (Matthew 5:8) How happy these slaves will be actually to behold and worship Jehovah in person!
No such thing as a Trinity.

The passage at Revelation 22:3,4 is interesting because it shows that the throne of the Lamb Jesus is actually owned by Jehovah God. This reminds bible students that King Solomon was also said to sit on a throne owned by Jehovah.
(1 Chronicles 29:23) Solomon began to sit upon Jehovah’s throne as king
As with King Solomon, the fact that Jehovah the Father owns Jesus' throne shows that Jehovah is the Ultimate Universal Sovereign.
Did Solomon ever pray to Jehovah and refer to the Israelites as "our subjects"? How preposterous for any designated king to elevate himself to the level of the Almighty!
Jehovah does not "share" rulership, but He plainly designates subsidiary rulers while He continues as Almighty.

Here is a better version: NWT
3Â And no more will there be any curse. But the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in [the city], and his slaves will render him sacred service; 4Â and they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. 5Â Also, night will be no more, and they have no need of lamplight nor [do they have] sunlight, because Jehovah God will shed light upon them, and they will rule as kings forever and ever.

Rev 22:3 And there shall be no more curse: but the throne of God and of the Lamb shall be in it; and his servants shall serve him: ) this means death will be know more.
Rev 22:4 And they shall see his face; and his name shall be in their foreheads. ) this one means he has wrote the word in your heart and mind) you are Israel and God is the father and Jesus is the son.

See, I know by what boath Peter & Paul wrote!,,,Acts 2:22-39; Rom.1:1-5 & 7b; 8:11; 1Cor 1"3; 10:4; 2 Cor 1:3*; Gal 1:1Eph 1:3*-6;,17; Phil. 1:2 & 3: Col 1:1;& 3:1b, 1Thess 1:1,3,&10; 2Thess 1:3 1 Tim 2:5** 2 TIM 1:1-2; Titus 1:4, and the WHOLE book of Hebrews. You see the stated above as given me the understanding of Rev 22:3-4 The Church's error comes because they FAIL to consider John 17! there ONENESS is so fully explained,,,EVEN A CAVEMAN COULD SEE IT!

In "Hear O Israel, the Lord our God is one Lord," it says Jehovah, our Elohim, is one Jehovah. It's a hint at the Trinity. God is one God. If God had directly stated He was a Trinity to Israel, who had been living in polytheistic Egypt, they would've been too confused. It's only in the New Testament that the Trinity could be taught. And it is taught in many places, just not there in Revelation 22:3-4. Those verses focus on the unity of God. Nothing wrong with that. God is one.

Thats because God the Father gives the new creation to Jesus, its in the Bible read it. People who have been to heaven see Jesus sit on the throne with the Father reuniting in their being, and then Jesus steps out off the throne again.
