Summary
This treatise argues that 'Alpha and Omega' renders the Hebrew Aleph and Tav, meaning Unity and Perfection, a title belonging to YAHWEH the Father alone. It contends that Revelation 1:8 and 21:6 are spoken by YAHWEH Elohim the Almighty, that the title in Revelation 1:11 is a late scribal interpolation, and that 22:13 is the Father's words carried by His messenger, with 'I YAHSHUA' in 22:16 marking a change of speaker. YAHSHUA's 'first and the last' is a derived title tied to His death and resurrection.
