Contextual Overview

⁶Then the angel said to me, "Nothing you've seen will not happen. It's all true. The Lord God, who spoke to the prophets, has sent me to tell his cowboys what will happen in no time." ⁷"Listen up!" Jesus said. "I am riding back soon. There won't be a single cowboy who will regret riding for my brand. They will never despair for obeying the words of this book." ⁸I, John, heard and saw all these things. When it was all over, I fell down at the feet of the angel who had been talking to me. ⁹He said, "Don't bow down to me. I'm just one of God's hands like you are. We obey God and do what he says to do—the way he says to do it. Bow down to God and God alone!" ¹⁰And then he said, "Don't keep what you've seen and heard a secret. All of this will happen soon. ¹¹Everyone will keep on with the ride they started. If they were evil, they'll continue their ride. If they were nasty, they'll keep it up. If they were good, they'll keep going. And if they're holy, they'll stay that way." ¹²"Hey!" Jesus hollered. "I'm riding back soon! I'll be bringing y'alls reward with me when I come. Each will receive a reward based on what they've done. ¹³I am the first and the last. The point rider and the drag, the beginning and the end." ¹⁴No one who washes their white shirts and eats from the tree of life will be disappointed. None will regret being able to walk through the gates of the town. ¹⁵But outside the gates will be those perverts who practice magic, lie, cheat, and steal. Outside are those who worship idols and kill.

Cross-References

1 Corinthians 10:13
You have the same temptation today that they had long ago. But you can trust God to help you. He will not let you be tempted beyond what you are capable of handling. There is never a temptation God hasn't already provided a way of escaping. With God's help, you will succeed. Without it, you will fail.

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.
