Rev_1:8, "I am the Alpha Alpha ( Α ) ( α ) and the Omega Omega ( Ω ) ( ω )," the first and the last letters. Christ "the Beginning and the Ending" comprises all between. Genesis and Revelation meet in Him. The last presents man and God reconciled in paradise, as the first presented him innocent and in God's favor in paradise. I accomplish finally what I begin (Php_1:6). Always the same. Before all the church's foes, Satan, the beast, and the false prophet; and about to be after they are no more as a power (Heb_13:8).

Omega
[many Ome'ga, but against the proper rule] (ω. fully Ω μέγα, i.e. the great or long o, in distinction from. ῎Ομικρον, the short o), the last letter of the Greek alphabet, as Alpha is the first. It is used metaphorically to denote the end of anythiing: I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending... the first and the last (Rev_1:8; Rev_1:11; comp. Rev_21:6; Rev_22:13). This may be compared with Isa_41:4; Isa_44:6, I am the first and I am the last, and beside me there is no God. So Prudentius (Cathemer. hymn. 9:11) explains it:
Alpha et O cognominatur: ipse fons et clausula
Omninum quse sunt, fuerunt, quneqne post futura sunt.
SEE ALPHA. The symbol את, which contains the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet, is according to Buxtorf (Lex. Talm. p. 244), among the Cabalists often put mystically for the beginning and end, like A and ? in the Apocalypse. Schoettgen (Hor. Hebr. 1:1086) quotes from Jalkut Rubeni (fol. 17, 4), Adam transgressed the whole law from א to ת, that is, from the beginning to the end. It is not necessary to inquire whether in the latter usage the meaning is so full as in the Revelation: that must be determined by separate considerations. As an illustration merely, the reference is valuable. Both Greeks and Hebrews employed the letters of the alphabet as numerals. It the early times of the Christian Church the letters Α and Ω were combined with the cross or with the monogram of Christ (Maitland, Church in the Catacombs, p. 166-8). SEE MONOGRAM OF CHRIST.
