I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
At the winding up of revelation itself, Christ announces these divine titles: He is the One before whom and after whom there is no God. These same names appear at His first pronouncement in Revelation, now reiterated at the scheme's completion.
AI summary
Christ originated the whole plan of salvation and will determine its close; He formed the world and will wind up its affairs. From beginning to continuance to end, He is recognised as the same being presiding over and controlling all things.
AI summary
God's character seals this book: He is faithful and true, and He would never send His holy angels to deceive His saints with mere dreams. That the angel refused John's worship, reproved him for it, and the apostle confesses his own relapse into folly shows a sincerity no deceiver would display. The book stands open for all to study, compare, and test against what comes to pass.
