Alpha and Omega are the beginning and end of the Greek Alphabet. The Lord is telling us that He is King, He was in the beginning and He will be in the End. He is the creator of the earth and all mankind, and He will be the terminator of this present Earth. He rules at present from His throne in heaven. He was in eternity past and also history past as he was the creator of Adam and Eve. Then He shall be in eternity future and also in all the events which will unravel during the period from the first coming of Christ to the second coming of Christ. He will be totally in charge and no matter how bad it looks, Christ will always be victorious and will make His people victorious. God’s three-fold eternal testimony is repeated here from verse 4 for the reassurance of all His children. The Alpha and Omega is called a merism, in which something in totality is expressed by two contrasting parts, such as old and new. What we have here is beginning and ending. In other words, God is the God of every moment of history, from beginning to end.
