I am the Alpha and the Omega (Egw to Alfa kai to O). Applied to God in Revelation 1:8; Revelation 21:6, and here alone to Christ, crowning proof in this book of Christ's deity. So in Revelation 21:6 God is termed, as Christ is here, h arxh kai to telov (the beginning and the end), while o prwtov kai o esxatov (the first and the last) is applied only to Christ (Revelation 1:17; Revelation 2:8). Solemn assurance is thus given that Christ is qualified to be the Judge of verse Revelation 22:12 (cf. Matthew 25:31-46). In Hebrews 12:2 Jesus is the arxhgov kai teleiwthv thv pistewv (the author and finisher of faith). Christ was the Creator of the universe for the Father. So now he is the Consummation of redemption.
