Revelation 1: A to Z, literally
Consider: Revelation 1
The Book of Revelation is an interesting book! It’s quite often misunderstood because many think the book is about the “end times”. Though the events that will occur surrounding the end times, the book itself is all about Jesus (see Revelation 1:1).
The whole first chapter, John lays out how he received this revelation and who/what it’s all about.
As I was reading it this morning, verse 8 popped out to me. It reads:
“I am the Alpha and the Omega–the beginning and the end,” says the LORD God. “I am the One who is, who always was, and who is still to come–the Almighty One.”
The footnote connected with verse 8 says this:
Greek: I am the Alpha and the Omega, referring to the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet.
Which got me to thinking. If we were to think of it in context of our English language, He is our A to Z. There are no other letters in our language than those that exist between A and Z. When it comes to God, there is no one else other than Him. There’s no one else that even comes close to comparing to Him.
He is the Alpha and Omega and He is the A to Z.
