From A to Z (Revelation 22)


I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End, the First and the Last. (Revelation 22:13)

From A to Z

Whenever we want to suggest something as complete and lacking nothing, we may use the alphabet as an example that includes everything from “A to Z”. This is the same sense with which the Lord says that He has done all things, is all things and there is nothing lacking in how He has provided all things for man. The “alpha and omega” are the corresponding letters of the Greek alphabet that suggest all things complete. The conclusion of the Revelation is like its beginning. "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End," says the Lord, "who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty" (Revelation 1:8).

The Lord is now and rules at the right hand of the Father. He was as in the beginning with the Father (John 1). His coming is imminent at the bidding of the Father (Revelation 22:12). The Lord is everything from “A to Z” because He created the world, saved the world and will return for His saints.

He has given us all things (from “A to Z”) that pertain to life and godliness (2 Peter 1:3). There is nothing lacking. The needs of man are met on every level through Jesus Christ. All grace has been given that all our sins may be washed away that we may all find hope in the love of God who gave us all He had – His only begotten Son (John 3:16). Praise God for the “Alpha and Omega.”
