Lecture 8: Jesus is Alpha and Omega
(1) The Lord is Alpha and Omega
The Lord God says: “I am Alpha and Omega (Alpha, Omega: the first and last two letters of the Greek alphabet), the Almighty, who was, who is, and who is to come.” Revelation 1: 7-8
Question: What does “Alpha and Omega” mean?Answer: Alpha and Omega → are the Greek letters "first and last", which means the first and the last.
Question: What is the meaning of past, present and eternal?Answer: "Is in the past" means the Almighty One in eternity, the beginning, the beginning, the beginning, before the world existed → the Lord God Jesus has existed, exists today, and will be forever! Amen.
The book of Proverbs says:
“In the beginning of the Lord’s creation,In the beginning, before all things were created, there was me (that is, there was Jesus).
From eternity, from the beginning,
Before the world was, I was established.
There is no abyss, no fountain of great water, I (referring to Jesus) have been born.
Before the mountains were laid, before the hills came into existence, I was born.
Before the LORD created the earth and its fields and the soil of the world, I gave birth to them.
(Heavenly Father) He has established the heavens, and I (referring to Jesus) are there;
He drew a circle around the face of the abyss. Above he makes the sky firm, below he makes the sources stable, sets limits for the sea, keeps the water from crossing his command, and establishes the foundation of the earth.
At that time I (Jesus) was with Him (the Father) a master craftsman (engineer),
He delights in Him every day, always rejoicing in His presence, rejoicing in the place He has prepared for man (referring to mankind) to dwell in, and (Jesus) delights to live among men.
Now, my sons, listen to me, for blessed is he who keeps my ways. Proverbs 8:22-32
(2) Jesus is the first and the last
When I saw him, I fell at his feet as if dead. He laid his right hand on me and said, "Do not be afraid! I am the first and the last;He who lives; I was dead, and behold, I live forever and ever; and I have the keys of death and of Hades. Revelation 1:17-18
Question: What does the first and the last mean?Answer: "First of all" means from eternity, from the beginning, the beginning, the beginning, before the world existed → Jesus already existed, was established, and was born! “The end” refers to the end of the world, when Jesus is the eternal God.
