It would be like you are the fist people in this class, and you were the only person in the class. That's what it means. Like Paul Revere riding into town. The king would sent a messenger to tell the people that the enemy was coming, he didn't have to much time to go over it. He would say, I am the first and the last. No one else is coming to tell you.

When used of God (or Christ), "Alpha and Omega," the first and last letters express eternality and omnipotence. Christ's claim to be the Alpha and the Omega is an affirmation that He is the all-powerful One of eternity past and eternity future (God Almighty). "Alpha and Omega," the 1st and last letters of the Greek alphabet, means that the Lord God is the beginning and end of all things. “God is the beginning, as he is the Author and Creator of all things, and as he proposes, declares, and promises such great things. He is the end, as he brings all the things which are here revealed to a complete and glorious conclusion. Let us find that second rest. Take away our bent to sinning; Alpha and Omega be; End of faith, as its beginning, Set our hearts at liberty. Also, the Gaither Vocal Band has a whole song by this title, "Alpha and Omega" -- I Heard a great voice out of heaven saying Behold the tabernacle of God is with men He shall dwell with them and they shall be His people And Almighty God will be with them He shall wipe away all tears from their eyes There shall be no more death Neither sorrow, nor crying, and no more pain The former things are all passed away He that sat upon the throne said, "Behold, I make all things new" He said unto me, "Write these words For they are faithful and true" And it is done It is done It is done It is done He is the Alpha and Omega The Beginning and the End The Son of God, the King of Kings Lord of lords, He's Everything Messiah, Jehovah The Prince of Peace is He The Son of Man, Seed of Abraham Second Person in the Trinity He is the Alpha and Omega The Beginning and the End The Son of God, the King of Kings Lord of lords, He's Everything Messiah, Jehovah The Prince of Peace is He The Son of Man, Seed of Abraham Second Person in the Trinity He is the Alpha and Omega The Beginning and the End The Son of God, the King of Kings Lord of lords, He's Everything Messiah, Jehovah The Prince of Peace is He The Son of Man, Seed of Abraham Second Person in the Trinity He is the Alpha and Omega The Beginning and the End The Son of God, the King of Kings Lord of lords, He's Everything Messiah, Jehovah The Prince of Peace is He The Son of Man, Seed of Abraham Second Person in the Trinity He is the Alpha and Omega The Son of God, the King of Kings Messiah, Jehovah The Great I Am seed of Abraham He is the Alpha and Omega The beginning and the end Son of God, the King of Kings The Lord of everything He is Lord Source: LyricFind Songwriters: Robbie Trice
