CHRIST: THE BEGINNING AND THE END

I AM the Alpha and the Omega

THE BEGINNING AND THE END, says the Lord God,

He Who is and Who was and Who is to come,

THE ALMIGHTY –THE RULER OF ALL. [Isa. 9:6]

(Revelation 1:8, AMP)

And He Who is seated on the Throne said, See!

I MAKE ALL THINGS NEW.

Also He said, Record this, for these sayings are Faithful--

Accurate, Incorruptible and Trustworthy—

And True (genuine) [Isa. 43:19.]

And He [further] said to me,

IT IS DONE!

I AM the Alpha and the Omega,

THE BEGINNING AND THE END.

To the Thirsty I [Myself] will give Water without price

From the Fountain (springs)

OF THE WATER OF LIFE. [Isa. 55:1.]

(Revelation 21:5, 6, AMP)

BEHOLD, I AM COMING SOON,

And I shall bring My Wages and Rewards with Me,

To Repay and Render to each one just

What his own actions and his own work merit.

[Isa. 40:10; Jer. 17:10.]

I AM the Alpha and the Omega,

The First and the Last

(the Before all and at the End of all).

[Isa 44:6; 48:12.]

Blessed (happy and to be envied)

Are those who Cleanse their Garments

That they may have the Authority and Right

To [approach] THE TREE OF LIFE

And to enter in through the Gates

To the City (of God).

[Gen. 2:9; 3:22, 24.]

[But] without are the Dogs

And those who practice Sorceries (magic arts)

And Impurity (the lewd, adulterers)

And the Murderers and Idolaters

And Everyone who loves and deals win Falsehood--

Untruth, Error, Deception, Cheating.

I, Jesus, have sent My messenger (angel)

To you to Witness and to give you Assurance of these things

For the Churches (assemblies).

I AM [both] the Root (the Source) and the Offspring of David,

The Radiant and Brilliant Morning Star. [Isa 11:1, 10.]

The (Holy) Spirit and the Bride

[The Church, the True Christians] say,

COME! And let him who is listening say, COME!

And let every one COME who is Thirsty

[Who is painfully conscious of his need

Of those things by which the soul is refreshed,

Supported and strengthened];

And whoever [earnestly] desires to do it,

LET HIM COME and Take and Appropriate (drink)

THE WATER OF LIFE without cost. [Isa. 55:1.]

(Revelation 22:12-17, AMP)

Is Christ Jesus the Beginning and End for You?

Have you drunk the Living Water, the Water of Life?

What will He say to you when you meet Him Face to face?

What do your actions and work merit?

We all must answer these questions for ourselves.

Christ and His Word are the Measure of All Things.

Why do the Nations assemble with commotion

[uproar and confusion of voices],

And why do people imagine (meditate upon and devise )

An Empty Scheme?

The kings of the Earth take their places;

The Rulers take counsel together AGAINST the Lord

And His Anointed One—The Messiah, the Christ.

They say, [acts 4:25-27.]

LET US BREAK THEIR BANDS [OF RESTRAINT] ASSUNDER,

And Cast Their cords [of control] from us.

He Who sits in the Heavens laughs;

The Lord has them in Derision

[And supreme contempt He mocks them].

He speaks t them in His Deep Anger,

And Troubles (terrifies and confounds) them

In His Displeasure and Fury, saying,

Yet have I Anointed [installed and place] My King

[Firmly] on My Holy Hill of Zion.

(Psalm 2:1-6, AMP)

Today we are watching the Nations take their Stand

Against God and His Christ Jesus and His Word.

They are Preparing to receive their “god,” the Antichrist,

The Beast of Revelation 13.

Let us understand that Soon the Nations will be No More;

Christ will return and Establish His Kingdom in Jerusalem

On Mount Zion for a Thousand Years.

Christ Jesus is the Beginning and the End

Of God's dealings with mankind.

God's Day of Rest is at hand.
