I don't know if anyone can answer this to your satisfaction, ViceGrip. For me as a Christian it makes perfect sense that God and Jesus are the Omega and Alpha, the first and the last. They are seperate-Jesus was a human being while on earth, but they are also 'as One.' I am not able to put it into words but I know that God, Jesus, and the Holy Spirit are seperate entities but are also the Trinity. I hope you can get some peace about ALL of your questions. God Bless, <:))))<>< PS: I am not that articulate. There are those who are very good at expressing what they mean when they write-I am not one of those. I am not very good putting into words what I am trying to say.

This question is posted in the category of Jehovah's Witnesses. sleeppro is not a Witness or he would have given a very different answer. visegrip's comments in favor of the answer could make it seem to others that sleeppro's answer is what JW's teach. This is not the case. The following is from Insight to the Scriptures published by the WTBS. Yes it is a copy and paste. Sorry, but I do have other things to do. ********* ALPHA AND OMEGA These are the names of the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet and are used as a title three times in the book of Revelation. The additional occurrence of this phrase in the King James rendering of Revelation 1:11, however, does not receive support from some of the oldest Greek manuscripts, including the Alexandrine, Sinaitic, and Codex Ephraemi rescriptus. It is, therefore, omitted in many modern translations. While many commentators apply this title both to God and to Christ, a more careful examination of its use restricts its application to Jehovah God. The first verse of Revelation shows that the revelation was given originally by God and through Jesus Christ, hence the one speaking (through an angelic representative) at times is God himself, and at other times it is Christ Jesus. (Re 22:8) Thus Revelation 1:8 (RS) says: “‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God [“Jehovah God,” NW], who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.” Although the preceding verse speaks of Christ Jesus, it is clear that in verse 8 the application of the title is to “the Almighty” God. In this regard Barnes’ Notes on the New Testament (1974) observes: “It cannot be absolutely certain that the writer meant to refer to the Lord Jesus specifically here . . . There is no real incongruity in supposing, also, that the writer here meant to refer to God as such.” The title occurs again at Revelation 21:6, and the following verse identifies the speaker by saying: “Anyone conquering will inherit these things, and I shall be his God and he will be my son.” Inasmuch as Jesus referred to those who are joint heirs with him in his Kingdom as “brothers,” not “sons,” the speaker must be Jesus’ heavenly Father, Jehovah God.—Mt 25:40; compare Heb 2:10-12. The final occurrence of the title is at Revelation 22:13, which states: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” It is evident that a number of persons are represented as speaking in this chapter of Revelation; verses 8 and 9 show that the angel spoke to John, verse 16 obviously applies to Jesus, the first part of verse 17 is credited to “the spirit and the bride,” and the one speaking in the latter part of verse 20 is manifestly John himself. “The Alpha and the Omega” of verses 12-15, therefore, may properly be identified as the same one who bears the title in the other two occurrences: Jehovah God. The expression, “Look! I am coming quickly,” in verse 12, does not require that these aforementioned verses apply to Jesus, inasmuch as God also speaks of himself as “coming” to execute judgment. (Compare Isa 26:21.) Malachi 3:1-6 speaks of a joint coming for judgment on the part of Jehovah and his “messenger of the covenant.” The title “the Alpha and the Omega” carries the same thought as “the first and the last” and “the beginning and the end” when these terms are used with reference to Jehovah. Before him there was no Almighty God, and there will be none after him. He will bring to a successful conclusion the issue over Godship, forever vindicated as the one and only Almighty God.—Compare Isa 44:6. ******** No one has to accept this explanation, but it is what we teach, and was enough to convince us.

In Revelation 1:17-18 Jesus speaks to John - "When I saw Him, I fell at His feet like a dead man. And He placed His right hand on me, saying, "Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last, and the living One; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades." Who is talking? JESUS. Who died? JESUS. Who is "the first and the last"? JESUS. So, if Jesus is "the first and the last", then consider Revelation 22:13 which says - "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end." So, Jesus is "the Alpha and the Omega" AND "the first and the last". Who else is "the first and the last"? The Lord God. Isaiah 41:4 says - "Who has performed and accomplished it, Calling forth the generations from the beginning? `I, the LORD, am the first, and with the last. I am He.' " and in Isaiah 48:12 - "Listen to Me, O Jacob, even Israel whom I called; I am He, I am the first, I am also the last." So, the Lord God AND Jesus are "the first and the last"? That must mean that they are one in the same, right? John 10:30 says - "I and the Father are one." Oh, well that makes allot of sense, right?! If you disagree with me ... please provide verses and explanations. Don't be a COWARD! If you disagree ... please provide a defense or else it will be assumed that you are STUBBORNLY rating me down because I am demonstrating the fallacies of what you believe in. Thank you.
