Alpha and Omega

Revelation 1:8 - "I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty."

Alpha and omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. Among the Jewish rabbis, it was common to use the first and the last letters of the Hebrew alphabet to denote the whole of anything, from beginning to end. Jesus as the beginning and end of all things is a reference to no one but the true God. This statement of eternality could apply only to God.

One of the meanings of Jesus being the “Alpha and Omega” is that He was at the beginning of all things and will be at the end. It is like saying, He always existed and will always exist. It was Christ, as second Person of the Trinity, who brought about the creation: “Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made” - John 1:3 and His Second Coming will be the beginning of the end of creation- 2 Peter 3:10. As God incarnate, He has no beginning, nor will He have any end with respect to time, being from everlasting to everlasting.

We are called to live as warriors and conquerors in this world and let's believe it and walk in His victory as His children - Revelations 21:6-7 - "And he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the thirsty I will give from the spring of the water of life without payment. The one who conquers will have this heritage, and I will be his God and he will be my son."

Have A Blessed Day!

God Bless
