Contextual Overview

6 And he said vnto me, These wordes are faithfull and true: and the Lorde God of the holy Prophets sent his Angell to shewe vnto his seruants the things which must shortly be fulfilled. 7 Beholde, I come shortly. Blessed is hee that keepeth the woordes of the prophecie of this booke. 8 And I am Iohn, which sawe and heard these thinges: and when I had heard and seene, I fell downe to worship before the feete of the Angell which shewed me these things. 9 But he sayde vnto me, See thou doe it not: for I am thy fellowe seruaunt, and of thy brethren the Prophets, and of them which keepe the woordes of this booke: worship God. 10 And he said vnto me, Seale not the wordes of the prophecie of this booke: for the time is at hand. 11 He that is vniust, let him be vniust stil and he which is filthie, let him be filthie still: and hee that is righteous, let him be righteous stil: and he that is holy, let him be holy still. 12 And beholde, I come shortly, and my reward is with mee, to giue euery man according as his woorke shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ende, the first and the last. 14 Blessed are they, that doe his commaundements, that their right may be in the tree of life, and may enter in through the gates into the citie. 15 For without shall be dogges and enchanters, and whoremongers, and murtherers, and idolaters, and whosoeuer loueth or maketh 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.

Clarke's Notes on the Bible
