Contextual Overview

6 And he said to me: These words [fn] faithful and true. And the Lord God of the spirit of the prophets, hath sent me, his angel, to show unto his servants the things that must soon occur. 7 And, lo, I come quickly: Blessed is he that keepeth the words of the prophecy of this book. 8 And more-over I am John, the hearer and the seer of these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship at the feet of the angel who showed me these things. 9 And he said to me: See, [fn] not: I am thy fellow-servant, and of thy brethren the prophets, and of them that observe the words of this book. Worship God. 10 And he said to me: Seal not the words of the prophecy of this book; for the time is near. 11 He that doth evil, let him do evil still; and he that is filthy, let him be filthy still; and he that is righteous, let him practise righteousness still; and he that is sanctified, let him be sanctified still. 12 Behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to recompense every one according to his work. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the First and the Last, the Commencement and the Completion. 14 Blessed are they who do his commandments, that they may have a right to the tree of life, and may enter through the gates into the city. 15 Without [fn] dogs, and sorcerers, and whoremongers, and manslayers, and idolaters, and every one that loveth and doeth falsehood.

1 Corinthians 10:13
No trial cometh on you, but what pertaineth to men: and God is faithful, who will not permit you to be tried beyond your ability, but will make an issue to your trial, that ye may be able to sustain it.

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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible

Verse Revelation 22:13. I am Alpha and OmegaRevelation 1:8; Revelation 1:8; "Revelation 1:18".
