The First and the Last is Jesus.
Fear not,
I am the first and the last,
and the living one.
The words of the first and the last,
who died and came to life.
I am the Alpha and the Omega,
the first and the last,
the beginning and the end.
Jesus says it. Fear not. I am the first and the last, and the Living One. He died, and behold He is alive forevermore, and He has the keys of Death and Hades. The letter to Smyrna opens with the same name: the first and the last, who died and came to life. The end of the book sets it beside Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. Isaiah had said the Lord is the first and the last, and beside Him there is no god. Jesus takes the name.
Fear not. The first and the last died and lives. He holds the keys.
I am the first and the last, and the living one.
Who died and came to life.
The Alpha and the Omega,
the beginning and the end.
Fear not, I am the first and the last, and the living one.
I died, and behold I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of Death and Hades.
The words of the first and the last, who died and came to life.
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
The name is His. Smyrna can hear it and not fear. He died and came to life. He holds the keys.
