"And he who sat upon the throne said, 'Behold, I make all things new.' Also he said, 'Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true,' And he said to me, 'It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. What does it mean that God is Omega, or the end? Let's read verses 5–8. So the special focus in this text is on God as the omega of all things. The statement, "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end," comes in a passage dealing with the end of history. I think that is the focus of our text in Revelation 21:6. He is the first and the last and the all-encompassing reality: "In him we live and move and have our being" (Acts 17:28).īut the truth that I want us to focus on this morning is that God is Omega. God is not a piece of reality that you try to fit in with other pieces. God did not emerge out of many possibilities. The character of God is not what reality brought forth. The justice and wisdom and power and goodness and truth of God are eternal reality. But when you pause to think that he never chose to be this way, nor did anyone else choose to make him this way, it staggers the mind.

We might marvel that God is infinite, eternal, and unchanging in his justice, wisdom, power, goodness, and truth. From everlasting to everlasting, he is God (Psalm 90:2). There was no "before him." Just think of it! For millions and billions and trillions of unending years God existed and never had a beginning. Find some serene moment of your life and let the truth take hold of you that God is the FIRST-the BEGINNING. I can't urge you too often to meditate on the staggering truth that God is the absolute Alpha. The pottery has no beginning apart from the Potter, and in the end it will all serve the purposes of the Potter. All other attempts to have the last word will fail. "Besides me there is no god!" God has the first word and the last word in history. In other words, since everything comes from God and nothing will outlast God, therefore God has no final competitors. Isaiah puts it like this: "Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: I am the first and I am the last besides me there is no god" (44:6). And everything will somehow end with him. Everything that is originates ultimately in him.

God is absolutely the beginning and absolutely the end. In other words God is "the beginning and the end."īut God isn't speaking about alphabets. In Revelation 21:6 God identifies himself as "Alpha and Omega." Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, and omega is the last letter of the alphabet. But as for the cowardly, the faithless, the polluted, as for murderers, fornicators, sorcerers, idolaters, and all liars, their lot shall be in the lake that burns with fire and sulphur, which is the second death." He who conquers shall have this heritage, and I will be his God and he shall be my son. To the thirsty I will give from the fountain of the water of life without payment.

He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them he will wipe away every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more, neither shall there be mourning nor crying nor pain any more, for the former things have passed away."Īnd he who sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true." And he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband and I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Behold, the dwelling of God is with men. Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more.
