Wed.’s Devo - The Alpha and the Omega

Read Rev. 1:7-8 Jesus is coming back and when he does everyone will see it. This is not talking about the Rapture, but the 2nd coming. This is when the Jews, who were the ones who crucified Jesus will recognize him and be saved. The Jews brought salvation to the Gentiles, and the Gentiles in the end will bring it back to them. This is the fulfillment of Zechariah 12:9-14. God is the beginning of time and the ending of time. He is eternal and has always been and will always be. We can’t comprehend eternity because we were placed in this bubble called time. God is outside the bubble in eternity. He governs eternity. There has been so much spiritual warfare over the two books, Genesis and Revelation. The devil has tried to replace creation with evolution, and tried to steal the truth to Revelation. Have you ever wondered why he hates these two books so much. Just think….he was introduced in Genesis as the serpent who deceived Eve into eating the apple. Then he is cursed and made to crawl and be under our feet - something he surely doesn’t want us to grasp. In Revelation, all his schemes are exposed and he is destroyed. No wonder he hates these two books so much. They paint a picture of his true nature and his lack of power. When Jesus says he is the Alpha and the Omega, he is saying he is the first letter of the alphabet and the last. He is beginning and the end. He has written the end from the beginning and it will happen as he wrote it. Lord, how fascinating you are! What a blessing to be a child of The King!
