Contextual Overview

⁶ And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the LORD God who is the spirit of the prophets sent his angel to show to his servants the things which shortly must come to pass. ⁷ Behold, I am coming soon: blessed is he who keeps the sayings of the prophecy of this book. ⁸ And I, John, who heard and saw these things, when I had heard and seen them, I fell down to worship before the feet of the angel who showed me these things. ⁹ And he said to me, Do not do that: I am your fellow servant, and of your brethren the prophets, and of those who keep the words of this book: worship God. ¹⁰ Then he said to me, Do not seal the words of the prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand. ¹¹ He who is unjust will continue to be unjust: and he who is filthy will continue to be filthy: and he who is righteous will continue to do righteousness: and he who is holy will continue to be holy. ¹² Behold, I am coming soon, and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. ¹³ I am Aleph and Tau, Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last. ¹⁴ Blessed are those who do his commandments, that they may have the right to the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the city. ¹⁵ For without are the vicious, and magicians, and the immoral, and murderers, and idolaters, and whoever loves to tell lies.

Gill's Notes on the Bible

I am Alpha and Omega,.... :-. These characters are all put together here, which are before used in Revelation 1:8 and are very pertinently mentioned in this place, when all promises and prophecies, relating to the glorious kingdom of Christ, were just finishing, and that itself was ready to appear, in which Christ alone should be exalted, the mystery of God would be completed, and time itself be no more. The Ethiopic version adds, "the beginning and end of days", or time. A testimony this, of the deity, eternity, infinity, and perfection of Christ.

Barnes' Notes on the Bible

I am Alpha and Omega ... - See the notes on Revelation 1:8, Revelation 1:11. The idea here is, that he will thus show that he is the first and the last - the beginning and the end. He originated the whole plan of salvation, and he will determine its close; he formed the world, and he will wind up its affairs. In the beginning, the continuance, and the end, he will be recognized as the same being presiding over and controlling all.
