<p> Revelation 1:8, "I am the [[Alpha]] Αlpha ( Α ) ( α ) and the [[Omega]] Οmega ( Ω ) ( ω )," the first and the last letters. [[Christ]] "the Beginning and the Ending" comprises all between. [[Genesis]] and Revelation meet in Him. The last presents man and [[God]] reconciled in paradise, as the first presented him innocent and in God's favor in paradise. I accomplish finally what I begin (Philippians 1:6). [[Always]] the same. Before all the church's foes, Satan, the beast, and the false prophet; and about to be after they are no more as a power (Hebrews 13:8). </p> | |||

<p> [many Ome'ga, but against the proper rule] (ω . fully Ω μέγα, i.e. the great or long o, in distinction from. ῎Ομικρον, the short o), the last letter of the [[Greek]] alphabet, as [[Alpha]] is the first. It is used metaphorically to denote the end of anythiing: "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending... the first and the last" (Revelation 1:8; Revelation 1:11; comp. Revelation 21:6; Revelation 22:13). This may be compared with Isaiah 41:4; Isaiah 44:6, "I am the first and I am the last, and beside me there is no God." So Prudentius (Cathemer. hymn. 9:11) explains it: </p> <p> "Alpha et O cognominatur: ipse fons et clausula </p> <p> Omninum quse sunt, fuerunt, quneqne post futura sunt." </p> <p> (See [[Alpha]]). The symbol את, which contains the first and last letters of the [[Hebrew]] alphabet, is according to [[Buxtorf]] (Lex. Talm. p. 244), "‘ among the Cabalists often put mystically for the beginning and end, like A and ? in the Apocalypse." Schoettgen (Hor. Hebr. 1:1086) quotes from [[Jalkut]] Rubeni (fol. 17, 4), "Adam transgressed the whole law from א to ת ," that is, from the beginning to the end. It is not necessary to inquire whether in the latter usage the meaning is so full as in the Revelation: that must be determined by separate considerations. As an illustration merely, the reference is valuable. Both [[Greeks]] and Hebrews employed the letters of the alphabet as numerals. It the early times of the [[Christian]] [[Church]] the letters Α and Ω were combined with the cross or with the monogram of [[Christ]] (Maitland, Church in the Catacombs, p. 166-8). (See [[Monogram]] Of Christ). </p> | |||
