Wells of Living Water Commentary - Revelation 1:8-20

Christ Among the Churches Revelation 1:8-20 INTRODUCTORY WORDS We enter in this marvelously descriptive chapter, centering our thoughts upon the appearance of Christ as He walks among His Churches. 1. The general description of Christ. The Lord Jesus in Revelation 1:8 is heard saying, "I am Alpha and Omega." This expression is indeed descriptive of the eternity of our Lord. Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet, and Omega is the last. It would he as though Christ had said, "I am... read more

Peter Pett

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Revelation 1:8

‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.’ At this point God is seen as dramatically stepping in to make His declaration over the whole revelation, reinforcing John’s words in Revelation 1:4. Alpha and omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. Thus He is declaring Himself to be the beginning and the ending, the One Who sums up everything in Himself from start to finish. But there may also be the idea that every... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Revelation 1:8

Alpha and Omega are the first and last letters in the Greek alphabet, as Aleph and Tau are in the Hebrew alphabet: the meaning of these is expounded, the beginning and the ending; he who was before all, and shall continue to exist when all creatures shall cease to be; the first and the last, as the same terms are expounded, Revelation 22:13; so Isaiah 41:4; Isaiah 43:13. Which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty: see Revelation 1:4; He addeth the Almighty, to show that he was... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Revelation 1:8

CRITICAL AND EXEGETICAL NOTESRevelation 1:8. Alpha and Omega.—First and last letters of the Greek alphabet, regarded as including all the letters between. So Christ bears relation to the whole story of humanity, from its beginning to its close. Recalling Revelation 1:4, we incline to refer this verse to God rather than to Jesus. R.V. has, “saith the Lord God.”MAIN HOMILETICS OF THE PARAGRAPH.—Revelation 1:8The Eternity of God.—It is thought by many that this must be a description of the Lord... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Revelation 1:1-20

Shall we turn in our Bibles now to the book of Revelation, chapter one?The Revelation of Jesus Christ ( Revelation 1:1 ),The Greek word "apokalupsis" is literally the unveiling. So in the very first phrase you have what the book is all about. It is the unveiling of Jesus Christ, the lifting of the wraps.When I was a child, I lived in Ventura and went to Elementary School in Ventura. I played in the school orchestra. And in front of the city hall they had a sculptor make a sculpture of Father... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Revelation 1:1-20

Revelation 1:1 . The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which reaches to the end of time, and is a continuation of the Hebrew, and the christian prophets of the new testament. This revelation properly begins where Daniel ends; and both received their knowledge of the hidden things from Christ, and his angel. The design was to show things which were shortly to come to pass on the Romans, and on the church. Revelation 1:3 . Blessed is he that readeth, and they that hear, as in the Greek. By... read more

Revelation 1:4-9John to the seven Churches … in Asia.The dedicationI. The writer of this book is again named--“John.” The things he was now about to relate depended upon his own testimony. He therefore mentions his name once, and again, and yet a third time. He refers to his former writings for his credibility as an inspired historian, and relates circumstantially the occasion upon which this revelation was given him. “I, John,” he says in verse 9, “I am the person to whom these disclosures... read more

8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty. Ver. 8. Which is, and which was ] The Father is called "He that is," Exodus 3:14 . The Son "He that was," John 1:1 . The Holy Ghost, "He that cometh," John 16:8-13 , as Aretius observeth.
