Beloved Names of God
Alpha and Omega
I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.
Revelations 22:13 KJV
- Name of God the Son
- Jesus is referred to as "Alpha and Omega" four times in the KJV.
- Alpha and Omega are the first and last letter of the Greek alphabet, the language the earliest known versions of the New Testament books were written in.
- While in exile on the Isle of Patmos, John had a two-part vision, or revelation, in which Jesus asked him to take a warning to the seven churches and revealed to him the end times. Jesus begins His important message to John with these words: "I am Alpha and Omega."
Jesus isn't shy about proclaiming His divinity in Revelation. As well as being alpha and omega, beginning and end, first and last, HE also tells John He is the Almighty, a term unequivocally reserved for God.
Not only was Jesus there when we were born and will be there when we die, likewise He was there when the world was born, and He will bring it all to a glorious end when He finally calls us home.
