Is Jesus "The Alpha and Omega?

The First and the Last? The Beginning and the End?

Update:

Krista, are you saying in heaven there are two "Firsts and Lasts"?

    Hi

    Yes, Jesus is the Alpha and Omega. Since that title is also claimed by "the Lord God... the Almighty" in Revelation 1:8, Jesus must be claiming to be Almighty God.

    Absolutely he is! Great questions. Here are other verses showing his deity:

    Deity of Jesus

    (God)

    Isaiah 7:14

    John 1:1, 14

    Titus 2:13

    1 John 5:20

    (Alpha and Omega)

    Revelation 2:8

    (Creator)

    John 5:21

    John 11:25

    (Omnipotent)

    John 10:18

    John 14:6 Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life, know once comes to the father but by me.

    Mark 1:15 The kingdom of heaven is at hand, repent and believe in the gospel.

    Repent of your sins by turning toward Jesus, believing only he can save you from hell. Start reading the Bible and do what it says. Let it change you.

    Religion is mans attempt at holiness but salvation is a free gift from God that no man can boast Ephesians 2:8-9

    John 14:6 Jesus said, I am the way, the truth and the life, know once comes to the father but by me.

    Mark 1:15 The kingdom of heaven is at hand, repent and believe in the gospel.

    Repent of your sins and trust in Jesus to save you from hell as you would trust in a parachute to save your from a plane crash. Read the Bible for yourself, start with the book of John

  • Revelation 22:13 is Jesus speaking. That's a title of God Jesus is using referring to himself, first given in Isaiah.

    The Alpha and Omega applies only to Jehovah, almighty God. The bible states clearly, that He created Jesus.

    Revelation1:8,    The title “the Alpha and the Omega” applies to Jehovah, stressing that there was no almighty God before him and that there will be none after him. He is “the beginning and the end.” (Rev. 21:6; 22:13) Although Jehovah is referred to as “the first and the last” at Revelation 22:13, in that there is none before or after him, the context inthe first chapter of Revelation shows that the title “the First and the Last” there applies to Jesus Christ. He was the first human to be resurrected to immortal spirit life and the last one to be so resurrected by Jehovah personally.—Col. 1:18.

    To whom does this title properly belong? (1) At Revelation 1:8, its owner is said to be God, the Almighty. In verse 11 according to KJ, that title is applied to one whose description thereafter shows him to be Jesus Christ. But scholars recognize the reference to Alpha and Omega in verse 11 to be spurious, and so it does not appear in RS, NE, JB, NAB, Dy. (2) Many translations of Revelation into Hebrew recognize that the one described in verse 8 is Jehovah, and so they restore the personal name of God there. See NW, 1984 Reference edition. (3) Revelation 21:6, 7 indicates that Christians who are spiritual conquerors are to be ‘sons’ of the one known as the Alpha and the Omega. That is never said of the relationship of spirit-anointed Christians to Jesus Christ. Jesus spoke of them as his ‘brothers.’ (Heb. 2:11; Matt. 12:50; 25:40) But those ‘brothers’ of Jesus are referred to as “sons of God.” (Gal. 3:26; 4:6) (4) At Revelation 22:12, TEV inserts the name Jesus, so the reference to Alpha and Omega in verse 13 is made to appear to apply to him. But the name Jesus does not appear there in Greek, and other translations do not include it. (5) At Revelation 22:13, the Alpha and Omega is also said to be “the first and the last,” which expression is applied to Jesus at Revelation 1:17, 18. Similarly, the expression “apostle” is applied both to Jesus Christ and to certain ones of his followers. But that does not prove that they are the same person or are of equal rank, does it? (Heb. 3:1) So the evidence points to the conclusion that the title “Alpha and Omega” applies to Almighty God, the Father, not to the Son.

    "And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as dead. But He laid His right hand on me, saying to me, "Do not be afraid; I am the First and the Last."
