jggirl,

Welcome to the forum, this is your first post........

Rev 22
12  And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be.
13  I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.


This is the voice of Jesus, that John is hearing,

ALPHA, OMEGA are the first and last letters of the Greek Alphabet,

A name of  Jesus Christ, these are only one of many names He has given himelf, or called in scripture.

Jesus is saying I AM the begining and the end...the first and last in the order of importance.

He is ALL in ALL.

Colosians 1;  says, Jesus.................
13  ......... hath delivered us from the power of darkness, and hath translated us into the kingdom of his dear Son:
14  In whom we have redemption through his blood, even the forgiveness of sins:
15  Who is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of every creature:
16  For by him were all things created, that are in heaven, and that are in earth, visible and invisible, whether they be thrones, or dominions, or principalities, or powers: all things were created by him, and for him:
17  And he is before all things, and by him all things consist.
18  And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things he might have the preeminence.
19  For it pleased the Father that in him should all fulness dwell;
20  And, having made peace through the blood of his cross, by him to reconcile all things unto himself; by him, I say, whether they be things in earth, or things in heaven.



Jesus, also  uses these words to refer to himself at Rev 1:8,11. 21:6.

Blessings,
Petro
