For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.”, what do you feel is conveyed here concerning “ worship God”. Would this be a command to worship the God and Father of our Lord, or do you see it differently?

Compare Rev 19.10 with Rev 1.17-18
In the former, another slave came to John announcing the marriage dinner of the Lamb. Of course, John should not worship another slave, but should worship only God.
In the latter, John fell at the feet of the Son of Man, Jesus Christ, and worshiped Him. John was never instructed not to worship, nor to worship God, since John was already worshiping God.
And this underscores another proof of Jesus being God, i.e. all those in the N.T. who worshiped Him, and none of whom were ever instructed not to.
