The Bible’s View Who
Is “the Alpha and the

First of All
—Jesus Is In Heaven When He Did This Transmitting To John Through An Angel.--So He Identifies Himself as a Real Separate Spirit
Person In The Very First Verses of Revelations.--- Jesus (Who) Received The
Revelation from His God and Father

Verses One— of Rev 1.1.thru 6 1:6 -[In Context|
and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father --to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
All Verses must
harmonize.---That’s God’s
IN THE most ancient Greek manuscripts of the book of Revelation, the
expression “the Alpha and the Omega” appears three times. Does this
designation, as many believe, apply both to the Almighty God, Jehovah, and to
his Son Jesus Christ? Just what is the significance of the title “the Alpha and
the Omega”?
The word “alpha” is the
name for the first letter of the Greek alphabet, whereas the term “omega”
designates the last letter of the Greek alphabet. Hence, in itself, the title
“the Alpha and the Omega” conveys the idea of the start and the finish or
completion of a thing. The personage who is so designated would, therefore, be
viewed as the beginner of certain things and the one who brings these things to
a successful conclusion.
Based on what is
revealed in the Hebrew Scriptures, the title “the Alpha and the Omega” would
certainly fit Jehovah God.
Revelation 1:8 states:
“The Lord God says, ‘I am the Alpha and the Omega, the One who is and who
was and who is to come, the Almighty!’”
(The New American
Bible Rev 1:8
) Clearly, the
reference here is to the Most High God Jehovah.
"I am the Alpha and
the Omega," says the Lord God, "who is and who was and who is
to come, the Almighty."
While Jesus Christ is
referred to in the previous verse as “coming with the clouds,” the words of
Revelation 1:8 and the surrounding verses show that he could not be “the Alpha
and the Omega.” In the Scriptures, only the Father of the Lord Jesus Christ is spoken of as “the Lord God” and as the
“Almighty.” Jesus Christ even refers to his Father as “my God.” (John 20:17;
In what sense is Jehovah
God “the One who is and who was and who is to come”?
Being the eternal God, (TheEternalOneGod.htm)
Jehovah has at all times been the Almighty.
(Ps. 90:2) So, in the indefinite past, he was the Most High. Furthermore, he
continues to be the Almighty God
and will come in that capacity to execute his judgment. As shown in other parts
of the book of Revelation, Jehovah God will display his all-powerfulness at the
time that his Son destroys all opposers of his
sovereignty.—Rev. 16:14;
for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of
God, the Almighty.
The next
occurrence of the title “the Alpha and the Omega” is found at Revelation 21:6
In the following verse, the One who
applies this title to himself says: “Anyone conquering will inherit these
things, and I shall be his God and he
will be my son.”
Since Jesus Christ
speaks of himself as a “brother” of these conquerors,
it is the
Father of the Lord Jesus Christ who is referring to himself
as “the Alpha and the Omega.”—Compare
Matthew 25:40; Hebrews 2:10-12.
Rev
1:6
and He has made us to be a kingdom, priests to His God and Father --to Him be the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen.
Finally, at Revelation 22:12, 13, we read: “Look! I am coming quickly, and the
reward I give is with me, to render to each one as his work is. I am the Alpha
and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” This
quotation appears among others that are ascribed to an angel and to Jesus
Christ. Before these words are quoted in the book of Revelation, the angel who
was instrumental in presenting the revelation to the apostle John spoke. (Rev.
22:8, 9) Then, after the quotation that begins with Revelation 22:12 and ends
with the words of verse 15, we find the statement: “I, Jesus, sent my
angel
Since the context does not necessitate our
attributing the words of Revelation 22:12, 13 either to the angel or to
Jesus, they could have originated with another speaker. Consistent with the
rest of the book of Revelation, “the Alpha and the Omega” must be the Almighty
God. He is the One who comes in the capacity of a judge to reward and to punish
individuals according to their works.
The thought expressed at
Revelation
The fact
that Jehovah God speaks of himself as “the Alpha and the Omega” gives us the
assurance that what he has purposed will come to a successful realization. This
should prompt us to do our utmost to be found approved by him. Our reward will
then be certain, for the Bible tells us: “God is not unrighteous so as to
forget your work and the love you showed for his name.”—Heb. 6:10. G78 8/22

The Trinitarian/Oneness Movement Denies Jesus as a
Real Person (AFact.htm) and
that actually makes Jesus’ Testimony of Himself out to be a
Lie. (TestimonyOfJesus.htm) Ie.—According
to Trinitarian-Oneness Doctrines Jesus Lied about who He really was
–Because He Said He Came To Earth and the Nicene Creed makers say it was Yahweh
God in Flesh. Of course they could easily say
that after He was no longer (around) here to say---That Isn’t Right –but Rev
1.1.speaks for Jesus.

Does the title “the Alpha and the
Omega” apply exclusively to Jehovah God? To answer this question, we must examine
the context in which this designation appears. G78 8/22 27-2-
