BIBLE REFERENCES:
Revelation 1:7, 8 (NIV) “Look, he is coming with the clouds, and every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and all the peoples of the earth will mourn because of him. So shall it be! Amen. ’I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is, and who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.’”
Revelation 21: 6, 7 (NIV) “He said to me: ‘It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the spring of the water of life. He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son.’”
Revelation 22: 12, 13 (NIV) “Behold, I am coming soon! My reward is with me, and I will give to everyone according to what he has done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.”
APPLICATION:
In Scripture God refers to himself as the “Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end”. Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet and Omega is the last. These Scriptures infer there is no beginning with God and there will be no end - God is eternal.
Before the creation of the universe, before time, space and matter (and, the laws that govern them) came into existence, God was there. You are skeptical about this? Well, then, you explain how everything got started! You explain how the universe evolved out of nothing.
