Revelation 1:8

Revelation 1:8

 “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End,” says the Lord, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty” (Revelation 1:8).

I AM- first time mentioned in the book of Revelation.

Alpha and Omega – First and last letters of Greek Alphabet. He is almighty from the beginning to the end of all creation. He has all knowledge and knows everything.

Who was, who is, who is to come – God’s eternal presence is not limited by time. He is presently happening, ever existing (Exodus 3:14: Hebrews 13:8).

The Almighty – (Pantokrator, Greek – the One of all power) - Almighty God is found 8 times in Revelation. God’s power is supreme over all (Revelation 4:8, 11:17, 15:3, 16:7, 14, 19: 15, 21;22). Nothing can prevent Him from carrying out His Sovereign will, or possibly prevent Christ from returning in glory.

Omnipotent (Revelation 19:6).
