It makes perfect sense; alpha and omega were the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet at the time. It's equivalent to the modern English phrase "A to Z".
- giancarlostoro 7y agoMakes more sense to a Greek than an Israelite maybe. But it loses its deeper meaning where He once again calls Himself the Word just like how the Gospel of John starts. Edit: When you see how often the Aleph Tav is in the Old Testament. It is insane. It is all over. And it has deep meaning when studied further. It is even in the first verse of Genesis. The Aleph Tav gets even deeper when you study the Paleo / Pictographic Hebrew: https://www.cepher.net/what-is-the-aleph-tav.aspx https://www.cepher.net/what-is-the-aleph-tav.aspx
