Tara, You don't disappoint, but can you explain this? "Who has planned and done it, calling forth the generations from the beginning? I Jehovah am the first and the last; I am He." (ISA 41.4, LITV). "So says Jehovah, the King of Israel, and his Redeemer, Jehovah of Hosts: I am the First, and I am the Last; and there is no God except Me." (Isa 44.6 LITV) "Listen to Me, O Jacob, and Israel My called: I am He; I am the First; surely I am the Last." (Isa 48.12, LITV). "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending, says the Lord, the One who is, and who was, and who is coming, the Almighty." (Rev 1.8, LITV) "And He said to me, It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the Ending. To the one thirsting, I will freely give of the fountain of the Water of Life." (Rev 21.6, LITV) "And to the angel of the assembly of Smyrna, write: These things says the First and the Last, Who became dead, and lived:" (Rev 2.8 LITV) Who is this last speaker? Colin |

Hi Colin, Rev. 2:8 is an interesting verse, as is the Alpha and Omega discussion. But in answer to your simple question, by its context, I see that it shows that Jesus is the “First and the Last” in this verse. I also notice that the “The First and the Last” is an expression in the book of Revelation that is found three times, one of which obviously refers to Jehovah God. Rev 1:17-18 also identifies Jesus as the “First and the Last”. Both of these are in relation to his death and unique resurrection by his Father and interestingly, is the reason for his being called the “firstborn from the dead” as in Rev 1:5 and Col 1:18 I also, notice that the “Alpha and the Omega is not used in conjunction with this “the First and Last” in these two places that refer to Jesus and neither is the phrase “the beginning and the end”.
