Revelation 22

Revelation 22:13 is a verse from the final chapter of the Book of Revelation, the last book of the New Testament in the Christian Bible. The verse reads: "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End" (New International Version). This declaration is part of the self-identification of Jesus Christ, emphasizing His eternal nature and divine authority. The phrase "Alpha and Omega" refers to the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, symbolizing completeness and eternity. In Hebrew, this concept can be translated as "Aleph and Tav" (אָלֶף וּתָו), the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet. The verse is significant in Christian eschatology, as it underscores the sovereignty of Christ over all creation and time. Translations of this verse in other relevant languages include: "Yo soy el Alfa y la Omega, el Principio y el Fin" in Spanish, "Je suis l'Alpha et l'Oméga, le Premier et le Dernier, le Principe et la Fin" in French, and "Ich bin das A und das O, der Anfang und das Ende" in German.
