you are the beginning and the end
ANOTHER ANSWER:
Revelation 1:8: "I AM ALPHA and OMEGA, the beginning and the ending, SAITH THE LORD, which IS, and which WAS, and which IS TO COME, the Almighty."
"I John... was IN THE SPIRIT ON THE LORD'S DAY [John was transported in vision to the future DAY OF THE LORD, the time of Jesus' return], and heard behind me A GREAT VOICE... saying, 'I AM ALPHA and OMEGA, the first and the last; and , What thou seest, write in a book...'" (verses 9-10).
"Ahd 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." (Rev.21:6)
"'And, behold, I come quickly; and My reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. I AM ALPHA and OMEGA, the beginning and the end, the first and the last." (Rev.22:12-13)
Of course, Jesus [the Old Testament LORD, YHVH, the WORD of God - see John 1:3] didn't inspire the Old Testament scriptures in "Greek"... so "Alpha and Omega" doesn't appear there.
However, Jesus does say in Isaiah 41:4 -- "KEEP SILENCE BEFORE ME, O islands... let us come near together to Judgment... I the LORD, the FIRST, and with THE LAST; I AM He [or just plain - I AM]."
And: "Thus saith the LORD King of Israel, and His Redeemer the LORD of hosts; I AM THE FIRST, and I AM THE LAST; and besides Me THERE IS NO GOD." (Isa.44:6)
And: "Hearken unto Me, O Jacob and Israel, My called; I AM He; I AM THE FIRST, I also AM THE LAST." (Isa.48:12)
Jesus refers to himself as the Alpha and Omega because they are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. They relate to Jesus as they often take the form of the cross.
In Revelation 22:13 Jesus shows himself to be the 'alpha and the omega'.The presence on the candle is to refer to him, particularly in his eternal nature, as the eternal God who became incarnate.
Alpha and Omega are used to refer to Jesus Christ, who is referred to in the Bible as the beginning and the end; which is what alpha and omega mean, respectively.
The alpha and the omega can refer to a few things. It can be the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. It could also refer to a name for Jesus Christ found in the Book of Revelation of the New Testament.
Alpha is the first letter in the Greek alphabet, and Omega is the last. God is saying that He is the beginning and end of everything (the first and the last - Revelation 1:17). The Bible verse in which He states that He is the Alpha and Omega is Revelation 1:8.
No. Jesus offered himself to God as the Lamb of God when he died on the cross for our sins.
A person who comes from the region of Galilee. It was also sometimes used as a term for the early Christians. It can also refer to Jesus himself.
Yes. In particular he used the "I am" to refer to himself in the sense that a Jew would know as referring to God.
Mac CharlieHe used to refer to himself as Jesus Christ.

Advisory: Matters of religion are necessarily matters of opinion. Therefore, any opposite view should be added to this, but should not replace this:Answer 1:These are the names of the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet and are used as a title three times in the book of Revelation. The additional occurrence of this phrase in the King James rendering of Revelation 1:11, however, doesn't receive support from some of the oldest Greek manuscripts, including the Alexandrine, Sinaitic, and Codex Ephraemi rescriptus. Its, therefore, omitted in many modern translations.While many commentators apply this title both to God and to Christ, a more careful examination of its use restricts its application to Jehovah God. The first verse of Revelation shows that the revelation was given originally by God and through Jesus Christ so the one speaking (through an angelic representative) at times is God himself, and at other times it is Christ Jesus. (Re 22:8) Revelation 1:8 (RS) says: "'I am the Alpha and the Omega,' says the Lord God ["Jehovah God," NW], who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty." Although the preceding verse speaks of Christ Jesus, its clear that in verse 8 the application of the title is to "the Almighty" God.In this regard Barnes' Notes on the New Testament (1974) says: "It cannot be absolutely certain that the writer meant to refer to the Lord Jesus specifically here . . . There is no real incongruity in supposing, also, that the writer here meant to refer to God as such."The title occurs again at Revelation 21:6, and the following verse identifies the speaker by saying: "Anyone conquering will inherit these things, and I shall be his God and he will be my son." Inasmuch as Jesus referred to those who are joint heirs with him in his Kingdom as "brothers," not "sons," the speaker must be Jesus' heavenly Father, Jehovah God.-Mt 25:40; Heb 2:10-12.The final occurrence of the title is at Revelation 22:13, which states: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." Its evident that a number of persons are represented as speaking in this chapter of Revelation; verses 8 and 9 show that the angel spoke to John, verse 16 obviously applies to Jesus, the first part of verse 17 is credited to "the spirit and the bride," and the one speaking in the latter part of verse 20 is John himself."The Alpha and the Omega" of verses 12-15, therefore, may properly be identified as the same one who bears the title in the other two occurrences: Jehovah God. The expression, "Look! I am coming quickly," in verse 12, does not require that these aforementioned verses apply to Jesus, inasmuch as God also speaks of himself as "coming" to execute judgment. (Compare Isa 26:21.) Malachi 3:1-6 speaks of a joint coming for judgment on the part of Jehovah and his "messenger of the covenant."The title "the Alpha and the Omega" carries the same thought as "the first and the last" and "the beginning and the end" when these terms are used with reference to Jehovah. Before him there was no Almighty God, and there will be none after him. He will bring to a successful conclusion the issue over Godship, forever vindicated as the one and only Almighty God.- Isa 44:6.
