Proverbs 8:34-36 Blessed is the man who hears me, watching daily at my gates, waiting at my door posts. For whoever finds me finds life, and will obtain favor from Yahweh. But he who sins against me wrongs his own soul. All those who hate me love death.” Psalm 84: 11 For Yahweh God is a sun and a shield. Yahweh will give grace and glory. He withholds no good thing from those who walk blamelessly. 12 Yahweh of Armies, blessed is the man who trusts in you. 1 John 5:5 Now who is the one overcoming the world, except the one believing that Jesus is the Son of God?

WHO IS The Alpha and The Omega?

By Simon Brown.


Verses by Berean Literal Bible unless otherwise stated.

WHO IS THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA?

We will carefully examine FOUR scriptures with the Title of the “Alpha and Omega’’ as follows:

1. “I am the Alpha and the Omega," says Lord God, the One being, and who was, and who is coming, the Almighty. Revelation 1:8.

2. King James Bible
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: Revelation 1:11.

3. And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the one thirsting I will give of the spring of the water of life freely. Revelation 21:6.

4. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End." Revelation 22:13

What do MOST believe with regards to who is (the Alpha and the Omega)?

First, Lets fully understand what Trinitarians believe and teach, so that we may examine whether or not their claims are biblically correct.

 On one of the many Trinity websites out there, we can read and see what they believe:
what Trinitarians believe?

Question: “What does it mean, that Jesus is the Alpha, and the Omega?”

Answer: Jesus proclaimed Himself to be the “Alpha and Omega” in Revelation 1:8, 11; 21:6; and 22:13. Alpha and omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. Among the Jewish rabbis, it was common to use the first and the last letters of the Hebrew alphabet to denote the whole of anything, from beginning to end. Jesus as the beginning and end of all things.
 Is a reference to no one but the true God. 
This statement of eternality, could apply only to God.
It is seen especially in Revelation 22:13, where, Jesus, proclaims that He is, “the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
https://www.gotquestions.org/alpha-and-omega.html

Revelation 1:18.

Revelation 1:8.

WHO IS  The Alpha and The Omega?

WHO IS  The Alpha and The Omega?

As we have seen, all FOUR scriptures with the Title of the “Alpha and Omega” are used by Trinitarians to prove Jesus is GOD.

Paul provides us with some great advise.
but test all things. Hold fast to the good. 1 Thessalonians 5:21.

And if it were true and these faiths were correct that the Title of: the Alpha and the Omega, were applied to Jesus, I would be reconsidering my own faith, again.
My reason for this is because if Jesus did apply the Title: the Alpha and the Omega to Himself, it would be evidence of a direct reference from Jesus Himself claiming to be GOD, because Revelation 1:8, goes on to say: I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8.
The end of the verse clearly reveals the person talking is GOD, ‘’the Almighty.” And that would surly apply to Jesus as being GOD as well if He were giving the Title about Himself.

However what we in fact find in the pages of the Bible is that there are NO DIRECT REFERENCES FROM JESUS, ANYWHERE in the whole Bible from Jesus own lips calling Himself (The Alpha and The Omega), and claiming to be GOD or the same person as the Father.

All I find written in the scriptures are direct references by Jesus claiming He and His Father are both TWO SEPARATE persons, and who are a literal Father and Son, and NOT a single word from GOD or Jesus saying they are ONE GOD or the same ONE GOD, or that they are THREE called the Trinity.

I only believe what GOD and Jesus taught. If GOD ALMIGHTY said His SON was the same GOD as Himself, I would believe GOD and what is written in the Bible

Yet there are NO teachings teaching GOD means a Trinity, or that Jesus is the SAME GOD He was born from.

And indeed GOD in the New Testament (ὁ θεός) means the Father of Jesus 1300 times, says Sir Anthony Buzzard, Biblical scholar.

Many get confused with verses like Hebrews 1:8, where Jesus is referred to as “God” just as others are called God or gods, including, angels, and even glorified members of the Church, and even Satan is referred to the God of this world.

Notice Jesus never, ever said anywhere in the Bible: I and my father are ONE (GOD), let alone saying He was GOD.

If Jesus said He was GOD, I would believe Him. But He never did say He was GOD. He only ever taught GOD was His Father who He worships and He was GOD's SON.

Jesus taught the same for those of us who repent, believe and follow His teachings, that His GOD is our GOD and Father who we worship through Him Jesus.

Yet we clearly and very sadly see a MASSIVE deception of millions of people today who claim to be following the true Christ and yet believe what Jesus never ever taught that He is GOD, or the same person as His Father and as I will now prove how MOST wrongly believe Jesus is The Alpha and The Omega.

WHO is The Alpha and The Omega?

First let us understand the meaning of The Alpha and The Omega.

This will help us understand if the Title is for Jesus or both GOD and Jesus, or GOD alone.

The Strong’s Concordance tells us:
The word alpha, Original Word: ἄλφα tells us alpha means the first letter of the Greek alphabet.

And the Greek word of  Ὦ  omega, means the last letter of the Greek alphabet.
Please notice the HELPS Word-studies.
5598 Ō (long ō, originally formed by pronouncing two short o's/omikrons together, cf. Zodhiates, Dictionary) – the final letter of the Greek alphabet; (figuratively) God’s infinity (endlessness), in contrast to alpha – the first letter of the Greek alphabet which represents the Lord as the unoriginated originator of all life and all that is eternal.


Revelation 1:8.

Did you notice that?
The Trinitarians confirm here that the first letter of the Greek alphabet, represents the Lord as originator of all life and all that is eternal.

Notice how Barns Notes below also confirms The Alpha and the Omega can only be applied to no one else but the true GOD because GOD is the source of all life who was at and before the beginning alone:
Notice Barns tells us: There can be no doubt that the language here is applied to no one but the true GOD.

But then says:  The obvious interpretation here would be to apply this to the Lord Jesus; for:
(a) it is he who is spoken of in the verses preceding, and
(b) there can be no doubt that the same language is applied to him in Revelation 1:11.

However we know the Title for The Alpha and The Omega is NOT in Revelation 1:11 and was added in.

Also see below how Barns goes on to say: not be absolutely certain that the writer meant to refer to the Lord Jesus specifically here, and therefore CONTRADICTING himself.



But because Trinitarians have been deceived, they go on to say: In the NT, 5598 (“Ōmega”) is always used of the glorified Christ (Rev 1:8, 21;6, 22:13), referring to His absolute limitlessness to meet all the needs of finite (limited) people.

As we see above, because Trinitarians believe Jesus is the SAME ONE TRUE GOD, they therefore wrongly conclude Jesus is the creator, and therefore wrongly conclude Jesus is The Alpha and The Omega, and yet correctly understand The Alpha and The Omega represents the Lord as the originator of all life.

However all one needs to do, to determine who is the originator of all life, is read what GOD the Father always said through His prophets, and what GOD the Father never said through His prophets, which is seen in countless different verses like Genesis 1:27, Isaiah 42:5, Isaiah 44:24, Isaiah 45:12, where we see that GOD never ever says Jesus, or a separate person of the Holy Spirit was with Him doing the creating, but GOD instead ALWAYS declares He is on His own and BY MYSELF and that there is NO one WITH Him doing the creating, proving by GOD’s own words He is ONE PERSON.

Just as we read in Isaiah 45:18
World English Bible
For thus says Yahweh who created the heavens, the God who formed the earth and made it, who established it and didn’t create it a waste, who formed it to be inhabited: "I am Yahweh; and there is no other. Isaiah 45:18 

 Genesis 1:27:
Berean Study Bible:
So (God) created man in (His) own image; in the image of (God He) created him; male and female (He) created them.


Genesis 1:27:

Genesis 1:27 Greek Text.
Notice how we always read a SINGLE person of GOD the Father ALONE who created everything.


WHO IS  The Alpha and The Omega?


If Jesus and a separate person of the Holy Spirit were with GOD doing the creating with GOD, 
then we would simply read in verses like Genesis 1:27:
And (WE) created man in (OUR) Image and NOT the singular word GOD with the singular word (HE) and (HIM).

Genesis 1:27 also agrees with countless other scriptures saying GOD ALONE CREATED ALL THINGS which never mentions Jesus or a separate person of the Holy Spirit.

Thus says Yahweh, your Redeemer, and he who formed you from the womb: “ I am Yahweh, who makes all things; who alone stretches out the heavens; who spreads out the earth by myself;  
Isaiah 44:24

Also notice GOD the father’s name Yahweh is in the Hebrew translation, but has been removed from the modern translations, to deceive people from knowing this verse is referring to GOD the Father Yahweh alone is the ONLY TRUE GOD ALONE, who is ONE BEING ALONE and the Creator ALONE.

Notice GOD says He was alone and created all things by Himself, and does not mention Jesus and a separate person of the Holy Spirit.

Notice again in:
Isaiah 45:12.
World English Bible

I have made the earth, and created man on it. I, even my hands, have stretched out the heavens; and I have commanded all their army.
We see again GOD is singular by the fact He says (MY HANDS) and (I).


WHO IS  The Alpha and The Omega?

In fact there is not a single verse saying Jesus always existed or Jesus was with GOD before all creation, and the verses used to teach that are misunderstood or taken out of context like John 1:1 which is GODS spoken word, divine utterance, the expression of a thought and plan as the word of GOD from GOD, and not Jesus.
Notice this is why John says: and the word was GOD John 1:1c.


WHO IS  The Alpha and The Omega?


The meaning of the Alpha and Omega,
is seen in the end of the verse saying: the first and the last, the beginning and the end, and simply means: “the beginning and end of days”,
The beginning of days can only apply to GOD Almighty who is the founder and creator ALONE, and is the beginning of creation and of days”, 
Just as we saw in the verses above where GOD ALWAYS said He was on His own and by Himself, just as we also read in Isaiah 41:4 World English Bible:
Who has worked and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I, Yahweh, the first, and with the last, I am he.

As we see the person of GOD Yahweh, was the person calling the generations from the beginning, is the originator of all life. 
Yahweh is the one true Father GOD of Israel, who never, ever said He is THREE PERSONS or that He is the Son.

The confusion of Jesus saying: I am the First and the Last Revelation 1:17.
Let’s not be confused with what most believe, as most are, because Jesus said I am the First and the Last, they therefore concluded Jesus must be GOD because God also says He is the first and the last.
However Jesus is referring to Revelation 2:8 and Revelation 1:5 and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness, the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To the One loving us and releasing us from our sins through His blood,
Jesus is also the beginning of the NEW creation, Colossians 1:16, 1 Corinthians 8:6, Hebrews 1:2.
We are told that Jesus will also return with His Father as one, as a Father and Son to bring in the end as we know it.

However thats what I believe, but I am not a Bible scholar, so let's read what a good Bible scholar such as Sir Antony Buzzard tell us on the subject.

To be Alpha and Omega, or first and last, is a good Jewish idiom for being the ultimate in the category, Jesus of course is the beginning and end of God’s salvation plan who died (Rev. 1:17-18). The Father is the only ultimate Deity. God is immortal, and to say that Jesus is God states that he could not die, and therefore there was no death for human sin.
In hope, Anthony.

But did Jesus ever say He was the  Alpha and The Omega?

Before we carefully examine all the Titles of the  Alpha and The Omega, there is a very important Biblical fact to consider, and that is that Jesus ALWAYS clearly identified Himself throughout the whole book of Revelation.

From the beginning to the end of Revelation in John visions, John makes many references to many different angels, including to when He sees Jesus and when Jesus is talking, and when an Angel is talking for GOD or Jesus.

Notice all the verses I have pulled out below regarding Johns many visions, Jesus ALWAYS clearly identified Himself:

John’s Vision on Patmos, 
Revelation 1:9
I John, your brother and fellow-partaker in the tribulation and kingdom and perseverance in Jesus, was in the island called Patmos on account of the word of God and the testimony of Jesus. 
10 I was in the Spirit on the Lord’s day, and I heard behind me a loud voice, like that of a trumpet,

Notice John hears a loud voice, like that of a trumpet, and then we continue to read who the persons is speaking:

 11 saying, “What you see, write in a book and send to the seven churches: to Ephesus, and to Smyrna, and to Pergamum, and to Thyatira, and to Sardis, and to Philadelphia, and to Laodicea.”

12 And I turned to see the voice that was speaking with me. And having turned, I saw seven golden lamp stands, 
13 and in the midst of the lamp stands, One like the Son of Man, having been clothed to the feet, and having been girded about at the breasts with a golden sash. 
14 Now His head and His hairs are white like wool, white as snow; and His eyes are like a flame of fire; 
15 and His feet are like fine bronze, as having been refined in a furnace; and His voice is like the voice of many waters;
 16 and He is holding in His right hand seven stars, and a sharp two-edged sword is going forth out of His mouth; and His face is like the sun shining in its full strength.

We now see how Jesus clearly IDENTIFIES Himself to John saying:
17 And when I saw Him, I fell at His feet as though dead. And He placed His right hand upon me, saying, “Fear not. I am the First and the Last, 18 and the Living One. And I was dead, and behold I am living to the ages of the ages, and I have the keys of Death and of Hades.
NOTICE RIGHT HERE HOW THIS WOULD BE A PERFECT PLACE FOR JESUS TO SAY I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA, AND YET JESUS DID NOT SAY  I AM THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA.

19 Therefore write the things that you have seen, and the things that are, and the things that are about to take place after these, 20 the mystery of the seven stars, which you saw on My right hand, and the seven golden lampstands: The seven stars are the angels of the seven churches, and the seven lampstands are the seven churches.

We just saw how Jesus clearly IDENTIFIES Himself to John saying:  “Fear not. I am the First and the Last, 18 and the Living One. And I was dead, 

Jesus again clearly IDENTIFIES Himself to John saying in Revelation 2:8
And to the messenger of the church in Smyrna write:
These things says the First and the Last, who became dead and came to life.

Jesus again clearly IDENTIFIES Himself to John saying in Revelation 2:12
To the Church in Pergamum
12 And to the messenger of the church in Pergamum write:
These things says the One having the sharp two-edged sword.

Jesus again clearly IDENTIFIES Himself to John saying in Revelation 2:18.
To the Church in Thyatira
18 And to the messenger of the church in Thyatira write:
These things says the Son of God, the One having His eyes like a flame of fire, and His feet like burnished bronze.

Jesus again clearly IDENTIFIES Himself to John saying in Revelation 3:1
To the Church in Sardis
1 And to the messenger of the church in Sardis write:
These things says the One having the seven Spirits of God and the seven stars.

Jesus again clearly IDENTIFIES Himself to John saying in Revelation 3:7
To the Church in Philadelphia
7 And to the messenger of the church in Philadelphia write:
These things says the Holy One, the True One, having the key of David, the One opening and no one will shut, and shutting and no one opens.

Jesus again clearly IDENTIFIES Himself to John saying in Revelation 3:14
To the Church in Laodicea
(Colossians 2:1-5)
14 And to the messenger of the church in Laodicea write:
These things says the Amen, the faithful and true Witness, the Beginning of God’s creation.

Notice in Revelation 4:1 how John identifies a first voice speaking, confirming there has been, and are DIFFERENT voices, by saying: After these things I looked, and behold, a door was standing open in heaven, and the first voice that I heard like a trumpet was speaking with me, saying, “ come up here, and I will show to you what it behooves to take place after these things.”

From Revelation 3:14 right through the book of Revelation Jesus does NOT speak Himself, until we come to Revelation 22:16 where Jesus sends His Angel saying: “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to all of you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star.”

Notice again how Jesus is clearly IDENTIFIED, but this time by an Angel to John in Revelation 22:16 saying “I, Jesus, have sent My angel to testify to all of you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star.”

AGAIN, WE DO NOT READ JESUS SAYING:
I am The Alpha and The Omega, but instead IDENTIFIES Himself saying:
I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star.”

So what have we discovered?

We have discovered  a very important Biblical fact, that Jesus ALWAYS clearly identified Himself throughout the whole book of Revelation.
AND NEVER, EVER  IDENTIFIED HIMSELF AS (The Alpha and The Omega).

If Jesus were GOD, we would have expected Him to say: I AM GOD.
WHICH HE NEVER EVER SAID.

If Jesus were (The Alpha and The Omega), we would have expected Him to say: I am (The Alpha and The Omega).
WHICH HE NEVER EVER SAID.

If Jesus were the Son of GOD, we would have expected Him to say: I am the Son of GOD, 
JUST AS JESUS DID SAY: I am the Son of GOD John 10:36.

So WHO is (The Alpha and The Omega)?

On careful examination lets see what we discover.


Revelation 1:8?

Revelation 1:8,
"I am the Alpha and the Omega," says Lord God, the One being, and who was, and who is coming, the Almighty.

1. Revelation 1:8,
is GOD the Father, and NOT Jesus. This is easy to understand because we clearly see who the person is in this verse which” says the Lord God, “who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” Revelation 1:8.
IT IS WORTH KNOWING THAT JESUS IS NEVER EVER CALLED: THE LORD GOD, OR THE ALMIGHTY.

Notice below how super Trinitarian Barns Notes confirms Revelation 1:8 should NOT be used as poof of Jesus being GOD, contradicting what MOST Trinitarians say:


WHO IS  The Alpha and The Omega?
Click image to enlarge.

And Jesus also said His Father is the only ONE true GOD in John 17;3.
This concludes Revelation 1:8 is not about Jesus, but GOD almighty ALONE.
Proving the Trinitarian claim is false.

Revelation 1:11,
King James Bible
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

2. Revelation 1:11,
I am the Alpha and the Omega is clearly Not genuine, and was added in some translations to make us believe Jesus is GOD almighty.
Forgery.

Who added: I am the Alpha and the Omega, in Revelation 1:11? Was it the same people who altered: 1 John 5:7 in the King James Bible?
I wonder if they are Trinitarians?

Part 2
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


Revelation 21:6?

Revelation 21:6, 
And He said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To the one thirsting I will give of the spring of the water of life freely.

3. Revelation 21:6, 
also has nothing to do with Jesus being GOD, because the verse goes on to tell us:
The one overcoming will inherit all things, and I will be his God, and he will be My son.
As Jesus never, ever taught that He was our GOD and Father, but instead taught that His Father was our Father, and His GOD was our GOD, and He was a brother, this is then obvious Revelation 21:6, is also about GOD almighty and NOT Jesus.


WHO IS  The Alpha and The Omega in  Revelation 21:6 Part 1
Part 2
-------------------------------------------------------------------
Revelation 22:13?

4. Revelation 22:13,

But what about Revelation 22,13?
There are people who are in agreement, which I also agree, Revelation 22,13, is not the Title for Jesus but for GOD ALMIGHTY.
This is easy to establish by reading through Revelation 22,12 to 21.

WHO is now talking to John?
We read it is one of the seven angels in Revelation 21:9

The New Jerusalem
9 And one of the seven angels having the seven bowls being full of the seven last plagues came and spoke with me, saying, “Come here, I will show you the bride, the wife of the Lamb.”

Revelation 22:
Notice how Trinitarians have added in Jesus is coming before verse 6 when this is referring to GOD.

Revelation 22: Notice how Trinitarians have added in Jesus is coming before verse 6 when this is referring to GOD.

Notice verse 6:

Jesus is Coming
6 And he said to me, “These words are faithful and true. And the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel to show His servants the things that must come to pass in quickness.”

We read in verse 6 that The Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel.
Notice at this point how there is NOTHING about Jesus sending His Angel or talking to John Himself, but instead: the Lord, the God of the spirits of the prophets, sent His angel.

So we read here the Angel is talking for the Lord GOD, and continues to say:

7“ And behold, I am coming quickly. Blessed is the one keeping the words of the prophecy of this book.”
8 And I, John, am the one hearing and seeing these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel showing these things me. 9 And he says to me, “See that you not do this. I am your fellow servant, and with your brothers the prophets, and with those keeping the words of this book. Worship God!”
10 And he says to me, “Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is near. 11 The one being unrighteous, let him be unrighteous still; and he who is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he who is righteous, let him practice righteousness still; and he who is holy, let him be holy still.”
12 “Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me, to give to each as is his work. 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”

Notice the Angel is talking for GOD to John, and NOT JESUS, and the Angel says for GOD in verse 13: I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
14 Blessed are those washing their robes, that their right will be to the tree of life, and they shall enter into the city by the gates. 15 Outside are the dogs, and the sorcerers, and the sexually immoral, and the murderers, and the idolaters, and everyone loving and practicing falsehood.

Notice If we turn to Isaiah 40:10, we will find the similar language is found saying: Behold, the Lord Yahweh will come as a mighty one, and his arm will rule for him. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him. World English Bible

Just as we read it is GOD ALMIGHTY in: Isaiah 62:11 
Behold, Yahweh has proclaimed to the end of the earth, "Say to the daughter of Zion, 'Behold, your salvation comes. Behold, his reward is with him, and his recompense before him.'" World English Bible

Countless scriptures tell us the same message that it is Yahweh GOD ALMIGHTY who rewards the righteous THROUGH His SON and with Jesus our Mediator.

We continue to read that it is GOD ALMIGHTY who is our salvation, because it was GOD's own plan to send and sacrifice his own begotten SON Jesus to save us.
Behold, God is my salvation. I will trust, and will not be afraid; for Yah, Yahweh, is my strength and song; and he has become my salvation."  Isaiah 12:2. World English Bible

The scriptures teach us Yahweh GOD ALMIGHTY who saves, and then THROUGH His SON.
If [any of] your outcasts are in the uttermost parts of the heavens, from there will Yahweh your God gather you, and from there he will bring you back: Deuteronomy 30:4 World English Bible

We have clearly seen how Revelation 22:6 to Revelation 22:16 is about the Angel talking for the Lord GOD, and the Lord GOD says in verse 13 I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.” AND NOT JESUS.

We now move from the Angel talking for the Lord GOD, to an Angel talking for Jesus of Himself in the very next part of Revelation 22:16,
16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”
Notice how Jesus makes a clear difference between Himself and GOD, and again clearly IDENTIFIES Himself through His Angel saying:  
16 “I, Jesus, have sent my angel to testify to you about these things for the churches. I am the root and the descendant of David, the bright morning star.”
Again there is nothing said by Jesus calling Himself: I am the Alpha and the Omega.

17 The Spirit and the Bride say, “Come.” And let the one who hears say, “Come.” And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this book: if anyone adds to them, God will add to him the plagues described in this book, 19 and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God will take away his share in the tree of life and in the holy city, which are described in this book.
20 He who testifies to these things says, “Surely I am coming soon.” Amen. Come, Lord Jesus!
21 The grace of the Lord Jesus be with all. Amen.

Notice how Ellicott’s Commentary for English Readers, says it is GOD who gives back to each one his work,” says St. John.
(12) And, behold, I come quickly . . .—Rather, Behold, I am coming quickly, and My reward is with Me to give back to each one as his work is. To give back to each: here we have the truth declared by St. Paul uttered in words borrowed from Isaiah (Isaiah 40:10). “Whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap,” wrote St. Paul (Galatians 6:7-8): “God gives back to each one his work,” says St. John.

Conclusion. 

Many say: The “Alpha and Omega” statements prove Jesus is God.
But instead my research reveals the Biblical facts that prove The “Alpha and Omega” statements are the Titles for GOD ALMIGHTY alone.

This is proved by Jesus own words, by the fact Jesus ALWAYS IDENTIFIED Himself and never ever identified Himself as The Alpha and Omega.

The Biblical facts.
From the beginning of Revelation to the end of Revelation,  John always declares ONE biblical fact, that there is ONE being who is the creator and GOD ALMIGHTY alone.
This perfect example can be seen below:

Revelation 4:
11 “Worthy are You, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power;
for You created all things,
and because of Your will, they existed and were created.”

Notice in Revelation 17:14 how Jesus is NOT called GOD Almighty:
The Victory of the Lamb
14 These will make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb will overcome them, because He is Lord of lords and King of kings; and those with Him are called and chosen and faithful.”

Notice in Revelation 19:15 how John refers to Jesus and defines who is GOD by saying: the wrath of God the Almighty.
15 And out of His mouth goes forth a sharp sword, so that with it He may strike down the nations; and He will shepherd them with a rod of iron. And He treads the press of the wine of the fury of the wrath of God the Almighty.
16 And He has a name having been written upon the robe and upon His thigh:

In Revelation 20:6 we see again how John clarifies who is GOD and who is Christ by saying God and of Christ:
6 Blessed and holy is the one having a part in the first resurrection! Over these the second death has no authority, but they will be priests of God and of Christ, and will reign with Him a thousand years.

Throughout the whole book of Revelation, we clearly see how John always IDENTIFIES GOD as the Lord God Almighty ALONE, and Jesus as the Lamb of GOD ALONE and NEVER EVER are both GOD and the Lamb described as ONE GOD, or the Lamb as being the SAME GOD, as seen in Revelation 21:
And I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty is its temple, and the Lamb. 23 And the city has no need of the sun, nor of the moon, that they should shine in it; for the glory of God enlightened it, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 And the nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth bring their glory into it. 25 And its gates shall not be shut by day, for there will be no night there.

There is absolutely not a single word from the beginning of Revelation to the end of Revelation where John calls Jesus GOD, or where Jesus calls Himself GOD, or where GOD ALMIGHTY calls His SON GOD.

This Biblical fact, is an identical striking fact, that Jesus never, ever calls himself GOD, in the gospels of Matthew Mark or Luke. 

And as we have carefully examined the identical striking fact in the book of Revelation, when we  carefully examine John’s Gospel, we discover the same fact yet again, that millions have taken John’s Gospel out of context.

We have to ask ourselves, if John truly meant Jesus was GOD in John 1:1, than why did he not teach Jesus was GOD anywhere in the book of Revelation?

No one needs to be a Bible scholar to see and understand this simple biblical fact. 
But instead all one needs is what Jesus always taught with what GOD ALMIGHTY has provided: Anyone with ears to hear should listen and understand! Matthew 11:15.

When we do hear, we simply SEE, Jesus never, ever claimed to be GOD or His own Father, and this simple Biblical fact shows how MOST are sadly deceived.

In the mean time I will close with a LIFE SAVING statement by John himself in 1 John 5:5, and notice yet again, another biblical fact, this time from the very lips of John, the closest disciple of Jesus, when he yet again says NOTHING about believing what MOST have been deceived into believing that Jesus is GOD, but instead that:
 Who is he that overcometh the world, 
but he that believeth that Jesus is 
the SON of God?

WHY DO MOST OF CHRISTIANITY TEACH WHAT IS NOT TAUGHT ANYWHERE IN THE BIBLE, THAT WE MUST BELIEVE JESUS IS GOD?
WHICH ACTUALLY DENIES JESUS AS THE SON OF GOD.

THE BIBLE ONLY EVER TEACHES WE MUST BELIEVE JESUS IS THE SON OF GOD. 
NOT GOD OR THREE CALLED THE TRINITY.

But these have been written that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that believing, you may have life in His name. 
John 20:31

I am Simon Brown, thank you for reading my research.

When we believe GOD is the SON we simply DENY the Father and the SON, and Jesus as the SON of GOD.

John 8:24 When we believe GOD is the SON we simply DENY the Father and the SON, and Jesus as the SON of GOD.
