2 mentions across 1 book
A title used by God and Jesus in Revelation. 'I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End' (Revelation 22:13). It means God existed before anything and will exist after everything. Nothing is outside His scope. He started the story and He'll finish it.
Alpha and the Omega is the interpretive lens for God's self-declaration in verse 6 — 'I am the first and I am the last' is His claim to exist outside and above all of history, with no rival.
The First and the LastIsaiah 48:12-13The "first and the last" title appears here as God's self-declaration to the very people He is rebuking — establishing that the one calling them out is also the one who precedes and outlasts everything.
