1 Timothy 6:13-16 KJV
[13] I give thee charge in the sight of God, who quickeneth all things, and before Christ Jesus, who before Pontius Pilate witnessed a good confession;[14] That thou keep this commandment without spot, unrebukeable, until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ:
[15] Which in his times he shall shew, who is the blessed and only Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords;
[16] Who only hath immortality, dwelling in the light which no man can approach unto; whom no man hath seen, nor can see: to whom be honour and power everlasting. Amen.
I have a simple question regarding this section of verses from the Bible: to whom (or what) is the underlined "whom" referring?
I'm not looking for a theological debate, or anything of the sort. I just want to know how this breaks down from a strict, grammatical standpoint.
I know this may seem silly, but please, just humor me.
Thank you.
Potentate, the King of kings, and Lord of lords

There are examples in the Bible of the word "which" referring to *** as in Genesis 14:20.
And blessed be the most high ***, which hath delivered thine enemies into thy hand. And he gave him tithes of all.
Therefore it is possible that the "light which" and the "whom" could both be referring to the same person.
