The ALPHA and OMEGA

What Does This Mean?

Rev 22:13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.

The first two words (I am) identify Jesus as the same I AM who Moses met on Mt. Horeb. The phrase (Alpha and Omega) has a dual meaning and identifies the same (I AM) as the eternal infinite self-existing God. It also identifies the only true God the Son i.e. the Son of Man prophesied in Genesis 3:15 called there the (Enmity) or the beginning of the redemption of mankind i.e. (the Alpha) of redemption. Jesus is also the (Omega) the ending of the redemptive act of salvation on the cross of those who were made in the spiritual image of God. Therefore, this verse primarily concerns humanity but is inclusive to all of Creation that has come from the eternal mind of God.

He is the beginning of ALL things in creation and the sustainer of all creation. The beginning of creation BUT NOT the (Omega of creation) as all unfallen creation will have NO ending. This is what identifies this verse as being primarily meant for humanity. He i.e. God is the beginning or the (Alpha) of a perfect humanity i.e. Adam and Eve in the beginning and He is the (Omega) or the end of wicked humanity after the fall and the beginning of a (New Glorified Humanity) after the Cross. This Alpha and Omega i.e. Jesus Christ the MONOGENESIS only one of a kind indicated by the phrase "the first [Of His KIND] and the last" [Of His KIND], is the God of Heaven and Earth over all creation.

QUESTION: When did this MONOGENESIS take place? ANSWER: The very second the Holy Spirit incarnated within the womb of His mother that (male) life of the GODMAN, both God and Man that was born the Son of Man or a part of humanity with (all of humanities failings with the fallen flesh of mankind) as one of us.

The question that is being debated today "Is Jesus God or the Son of God?" Jesus Himself stated John 10:30 I and my Father are one. Without the added word of "my." John 10:30 I and Father are one. God Himself declared Jesus as GOD. Heb 1:8 But unto the Son he saith, Thy throne, O God, is for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness is the sceptre of thy kingdom. Now without the added words of (he saith, is, is). Heb 1:8 But unto the Son Thy throne, O God, for ever and ever: a sceptre of righteousness the sceptre of thy kingdom.

When God the Father Himself calls the Son (God) that's good enough for me to believe and settles the question as to "Is Jesus God or the Son of God." HE IS AS MUCH GOD AS THE FATHER IS GOD!

WHY is this even being questioned? Because Romans 1:28 has occurred among humanity. Rom 1:28 And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a reprobate mind, to do those things which are not convenient.

Humanity has reached the point in human history that Jesus spoke of here: Luke 18:7,8 And shall not God avenge his own elect, which cry day and night unto him, though he bear long with them? I tell you that he will avenge them speedily. Nevertheless when the Son of man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth? This faithless condition will exist because of the "reprobate mind" of humanity. They cannot identify the false Christianity that they are caught up in. I was married to a Secret Service Agent back when Ronald Regan was president, she worked in Santa Barbara on his ranch as his protocol liaison. I discovered back then that the Secret Service is responsible for the control of counterfeit money in The United States. When they train to identify the counterfeit cash, they don't study the counterfeit, but they study the (real thing, the authentic bills) in order to identify the counterfeit bills.

Today's counterfeit Christianity in today's modern churches can only be identified by the study of the real thing within the scriptures. If the churches aren't following the scriptures in ALL of their doctrines, (without exception) then they are classified as being counterfeit false Christian churches by the discerning soul who seeks the truth. Those already in those churches don't really want to know the truth, because the real truth (cuts to the core) of their false relationship with God. God calls for radical changes in the sanctified life and absence from worldly activity. A real Christian will refrain from gluing their eyes to such programs as "Dancing with the Stars" because their true motivation is to live among the stars with God. You cannot be in this world spiritually mixed with he world and be a spiritually dedicated servant of God.

Many today have beliefs in God that are so far fetched in those beliefs that they cannot see their error. They think that God is all-forgiving even when they willfully sin, that He will forgive their licentiousness as long as they acknowledge Him as their God and pray and ask for forgiveness. This way of thinking is the epitome of presumption upon God. Jesus came to save us (from our sin) He doesn't save anyone who willfully lives (in sin). You must overcome sin in your life, or you will NOT be with Jesus in the Paradise of God. Many will say then what about the thief on the cross that Jesus told him that he would be in paradise with Him, he didn't have any time left to live to be an overcomer. These kinds of statements come from the unlearned minds of deceived false Christians. All the thief did was acknowledge Jesus as His Savior, and what Jesus was doing on the cross paid the man's debt towards God. The thief (overcame) sin in his life when He acknowledged Jesus as his Savior and called Him "Lord." He didn't have much time left at that point in his life to practice overcoming, because he didn't need to. Jesus overcame for Him! Rev 3:21 To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with me in my throne, even as I also overcame, and am set down with my Father in his throne.

From the time he was nailed to his cross, to the time he acknowledged Jesus, when he did so (he overcame) but had he lived life other than what few hours he had, he would have had to practice (overcoming) sin even though he had been assured of Paradise didn't mean he was beyond sinning. He didn't sin any longer because he died on his cross. If he had even one impure thought and entertained that thought after Jesus assured him that he would be in Paradise, he forfeited his salvation before he died. Only God knows if the man will be in Paradise when he is resurrected.

Many today don't understand what they read in scripture even those with Ph.D.'s struggle with the words of scripture. When Jesus said in the above verse the phrase "I grant to sit with me in my throne" He was speaking as God, in His current bodily form as the Son of Man NOT the Son of God who is also God among mankind called the Son of Man. The phrase "with my Father in his throne" He was NOT speaking as God the "Son of God" (one equal with the FATHER), but that of the "Son of Man" who was born the Son of God on Earth as God fathered Him.

NOW! The verse again with an emphasis in brackets [ ]. Rev 3:21 To him [the Surrendered Believer] that overcometh will I [the Son of Man called Jesus] grant to sit with me [the Son of God called Jesus] in my throne, even as I [The Son of Man called Jesus] also overcame, [As a Man] and am set down with my Father [as the Son of God called Jesus] in his throne. Jesus used the phrase "Son of Man" some eighty-nine times in eighty-five verses in the New Testament. Michael was called the Son of God only once in the Old Testament and that by the pagan king Nebuchadnezzar long before He was ever born the Son of God on Earth. Since Jesus had NOT yet been born at the time of Daniel, and the name Jesus came from heaven itself through the mouth of Gabriel to Mary His mother. The name Jesus was NOT known to any of mankind with the exception of Mary His mother at the time Gabriel announced His name. Let alone that Jesus would be called the Son of God in the time of Daniel the prophet. Dan_3:25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.

Therefore, the one who appeared in the fiery furnace like the Son of God by the pagan king was the pre-incarnate Jesus NOT yet known among mankind as Jesus. If He wasn't called Jesus at the time of the fiery furnace incident but WAS CALLED LIKE THE (Son of God), what was His name who appeared among the flames and delivered the three Hebrews from death? It was Michael who later became Jesus the anointed of God called the Christ, (the Son of God) the deliverer of humanity with the name of Jesus just as he delivered the three Hebrews from certain death. Jesus delivered the entire world from certain (second death) if they accept Him. Many can't accept this truth, but it's the truth just the same. Michael and Jesus are one in the same God.

QUESTIONS:

• Who fought with Lucifer in heavens war? Rev 12:7 And there was war in heaven: Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and the dragon fought and his angels.
• Who is standing against Satan on Earth? IT IS JESUS CHRIST! Gen 3:15 And I will put enmity between thee and the woman, and between thy seed and her seed; it shall bruise thy head, and thou shalt bruise his heel. In the Old Testament Genesis 3:15 the word "enmity" in context with the connotation of "opposition" characterized by its definitive implications of "hostility, hatred" used only three times and denotes "opposition, enmity, hostility, and hatred". It cannot apply to Jesus with any of these implications but with that of "opposition" and is only the opposition against the wiles of Satan and is therefore identified here by the word "enmity", from the Hebrew "ayab" aw-yab meaning an enemy of Satan.
• Who is that enmity better yet WHAT is the (ENMITY)? It is NOT Jesus Christ as the physical person, but that of Jesus Christ as the enemy of Satan, the same enemy Satan fought in the war in heaven who was Michael.

The phrase (Son of God) is used in the New Testament some forty-seven times and fifteen of those times by

• 1st by Gabriel- Luk 1:31-33 And, behold, thou shalt conceive in thy womb, and bring forth a son, and shalt call his name JESUS. He shall be great, and shall be called the Son of the Highest: and the Lord God shall give unto him the throne of his father David: And he shall reign over the house of Jacob forever; and of his kingdom there shall be no end. Luk 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
• 2nd by God Himself Mat 3:17 And lo a voice from heaven, saying, This is my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.
• 3rd by the cousin of Jesus John the Baptist. Joh 1:34 And I saw, and bare record that this is the Son of God.
• 4th by Nathanael Joh 1:49(a) Nathanael answered and saith unto him, Rabbi, thou art the Son of God
• 5th by the Disciples in the boat Mat 14:33 Then they that were in the ship came and worshipped him, saying, Of a truth thou art the Son of God.
• 6th by Those possessed by devils Mat 8:29(a) And, behold, they cried out, saying, What have we to do with thee, Jesus, thou Son of God?
• 7th By Jesus Himself when He equated the Son of God with the Son of Man- Mat 26:64 Jesus saith unto him, Thou hast said: nevertheless I say unto you, Hereafter shall ye see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven.
• 8th by John Mark Mar 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God.
• 9th by Devils- Luk 4:41(a) And devils also came out of many, crying out, and saying, Thou art Christ the Son of God.

10th by Jesus Himself- Joh 5:25 Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming, and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that hear shall live. Joh 10:36 Say ye of him, whom the Father hath sanctified, and sent into the world, Thou blasphemest; because I said, I am the Son of God? Joh 11:4 When Jesus heard that, he said, This sickness is not unto death, but for the glory of God, that the Son of God might be glorified thereby. Joh 9:35-37 Jesus heard that they had cast him out; and when he had found him, he said unto him, Dost thou believe on the Son of God? He answered and said, Who is he, Lord, that I might believe on him? And Jesus said unto him, Thou hast both seen him, and it is he that talketh with thee.

• By the Centurion- Mat_27:54(c) Truly this was the Son of God.
• 11th by Martha the sister of Lazarus-Joh 11:27 She saith unto him, Yea, Lord: I believe that thou art the Christ, the Son of God, which should come into the world.
• 12th by John the Apostle- John 20:31(a) But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God.
• 13th by the Ethiopian eunuch- Act 8:37 And Philip said, If thou believest with all thine heart, thou mayest. And he answered and said, I believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of God.
• 14th by Paul the Apostle nine times- Act 9:20 And straightway he preached Christ in the synagogues, that he is the Son of God.
• 15th by the Angel giving John the Revelation- Rev 2:18 And unto the angel of the church in Thyatira write; These things saith the Son of God, who hath his eyes like unto a flame of fire, and his feet are like fine brass.

Peter never referred to Jesus as the (Son of God), but it's implied that He acknowledged Him as such in Mat 14:33 as he was one of those in the boat, he called Him Christ, Master, which means Rabbi and vise versa and Lord.

So, the witnesses who proclaimed Jesus as the Son of God are as follows.

· GOD the FATHER

• Jesus Himself
• Gabriel
• John the Baptist
• Nathanael
• the Disciples
• possessed by devils
• John Mark
• Devils
• the Centurion
• John the Apostle
• the Ethiopian eunuch
• Paul the Apostle nine times
• the Angel giving John the Revelation

The phrase (Son of man) [little "m" in man] is found in the OT (108) times ONLY ONE of those instances refer to the (Glorified) Jesus Christ that of Daniel 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him. (93) of those uses speak of humanity specifically the prophet Ezekiel, and (1) instances of Daniel the prophet. (13) times as speaking of humanity in general. (1) with a DUAL application that of Psalms 8:4-6 which speaks of (man) literally, and the (Son of Man) [Capital "M" in Man] prophetically.

Psa 8:4-6 What is man, [Atypical man] that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, [Atypical man]  that thou visitest him? For thou hast made him [BOTH Atypical man AND the Son of Man] a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him [BOTH Atypical man AND the Son of Man] with glory and honour. Thou madest him [Atypical man] to have dominion over the works of thy hands; thou hast put all things under his feet. [BOTH Atypical man AND the Son of Man] but man handed over the dominion to Satan at the fall. (This is both human parts consisting of both fallen humanity and (unfallen humanity in Jesus Christ).

1Co_15:25 For he must reign, till he hath put all enemies under his feet. [The Son of Man & the Son of God]

1Co_15:27 For he [God the FATHER] hath put all things under his [The Son of Man & the Son of God] feet. But when he [God the FATHER] saith all things are put under him,  [The Son of Man & the Son of God] it is manifest that he [God the FATHER] is excepted, which did put all things under him. [The Son of Man & the Son of God]

Eph_1:22 And hath put all things under his  [The Son of Man & the Son of God] feet, and gave him [The Son of Man & the Son of God] to be the head over all things to the church,

Heb_2:8 Thou [God the FATHER] hast put all things in subjection under his [The Son of Man & the Son of God] feet. For in that he [God the FATHER] put all in subjection under him, [The Son of Man & the Son of God] he [God the FATHER] left nothing that is not put under him. [The Son of Man & the Son of God] But now we see not yet all things put under him. [The Son of Man & the Son of God] because the grave and eternal death are NOT yet destroyed in the Lake of Fire.

The phrase in Psalms 8:6 of "hast put all things under his feet" is the key to the duality of these verses. Psalms 8:4-6 is speaking of both mankind (Son of man [human]) and the GODMAN Jesus Christ the (Son of Man & the Son of God! [BOTH human and Divine])

I need no other proof that Jesus is God as much as GOD as the FATHER Himself, as is even called the mighty &  God and the Everlasting Father here: Isa 9:6 For unto us a child is born, unto us a son is given: and the government shall be upon his shoulder: and his name shall be called Wonderful, Counsellor, The mighty God, The everlasting Father, The Prince of Peace. He is the Son of God in the flesh, He is the Son of Man in the flesh, and He is equal with and ONE with God the Father Jesus IS GOD now in glorified human flesh forever linked with humanity. Php 2:6-8 Who, being in the form of God, thought it not robbery to be equal with God: But made himself of no reputation, and took upon him the form of a servant, and was made in the likeness of men: And being found in fashion as a man, he humbled himself, and became obedient unto death, even the death of the cross.

I NEED NO FURTHER PROOF!

The WATCHMAN !!!
