Alpha and Omega

In Revelation 1:11, “The Word of God” (Rev. 19:13) said “I am Alpha and Omega”.  Now that’s an interesting title for Christ, who is called by the Apostle John “the Word”, because in the Old Testament, in the Book of Psalms, there is a whole chapter (and it is the longest chapter in the Bible:) dedicated entirely to the subject of itself (the word of God).  And that Psalm, (Psalm 119,) is separated into 22 sections of 8 verses a piece.  Eight verses for each one of the 22 letters of the Hebrew alphabet: beginning with Aleph and ending with Tau.

So I believe you could call Jesus Christ, not only the Alpha and Omega, but also the Aleph and Tau.  And if you have an Authorized English Bible from 1611, you can also call him the A to Z.

Maybe our Lord called himself “the Alpha and Omega” because he was thinking about the acrostic alphabet in Psalm 119.  A Psalm that describes him the best—as “the Word”!  More than any other place in the Holy Bible, Psalm 119 puts the emphasis on the word of God as high as possible.  And I hate to disappoint the Roman Catholics, liberals, leftists, cultists, and ecumenists: but Jesus Christ and the Apostles were Bible-believers!!!

¶ Since Jesus Christ is the Alpha & Omega; and the First & the Last: his name is found in the first verse of the New Testament (Matthew 1:1) and the last verse of the New Testament (Revelation 22:21)!

¶ The Authorized King James Version of the Holy Bible was translated in 1611 Anno Domini.  The chief chapter (and longest chapter) in the Bible (about the Bible itself) is Psalm 119.  It has 176 verses.  If you take 1611 and breakdown 16 times 11, it equals 176 (verses of Psalm 119).
