(Revelation 1:8); Rev. 21:66And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. (Revelation 21:6); Rev. 22:1313I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. (Revelation 22:13)). “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end,” or “the first and the last”; which is similar to a passage in Isaiah 41:4: “I Jehovah, the first, and with the last; I am He.”
