This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
I am the Alpha and the Omega (Egō to Alpha kai to O). Applied to God in Rev 1:8; Rev 21:6, and here alone to Christ, crowning proof in this book of Christ’s deity. So in Rev 21:6 God is termed, as Christ is here, hē archē kai to telos (the beginning and the end), while ho prōtos kai ho eschatos (the first and the last) is applied only to Christ (Rev 1:17; Rev 2:8). Solemn assurance is thus given that Christ is qualified to be the Judge of Rev 22:12 (cf. Matt 25:31-46). In Heb 12:2 Jesus is the archēgos kai teleiōtēs tēs pisteōs (the author and finisher of faith). Christ was the Creator of the universe for the Father. So now he is the Consummation of redemption.
