These letters occur in the text of Rev 1:8, Rev 1:11; Rev 21:6; Rev 22:13, and are represented by \"Alpha\" and \"Omega\" respectively (omitted in R.V., Rev 1:11). They mean \"the first and last.\" (Compare Heb 12:2; Isa 41:4; Isa 44:6; Rev 1:11, Rev 1:17; Rev 2:8.) In the symbols of the early Christian Church these two letters are frequently combined with the cross or with Christ's monogram to denote his divinity.","tags":["Biblical Names and Places","Biblical Reference","Easton's Bible Dictionary"],"text":null,"title":"Easton's Bible Dictionary","tradition":"Hypertext Bible","translated_text":null,"word_count":1488}
