A Muslim Questions the Alpha and Omega

I was recently asked by a Muslim whether Jesus would use the Greek words "Alpha" and "Omega" when He was speaking to the Jews. My response was basically "how about First and Last in Hebrew?

The only uses of the word Alpha that I am aware of is in the Revelation of Jesus Christ. Jesus Christ reveals to the Apostle John, a Jew, that He is the Alpha and Omega.

As the answer here is obvious, I approached the question from the standpoint that the Eternal had already told the Jews He was Alpha and Omega by declaring in Isaiah He is the First and Last. I believe these references to be powerful testaments to the Eternal Nature of Our Savior, Jesus.

The question posed to me is below, and it is followed by my response.

QUESTION FROM MUSLIM ON GOOGLE+
Yesterday 11:22 PM

+BlueMan Lou Alpha and omega was a greeks words, did Jesus Christ spoke greeks to the jews his followers because he was sent only to the house of isreal.

'God' getting circumcise ?? At least you know why I call Christians PAGAN !
'God' became man, circumcise, ate and drank .!? Lol .

MY REPLY:

First and the Last works well too... You can find that in the Hebrew... in Isaiah... If you can't get along with the Greek in Revelation....

Isaiah 41:4
Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the Lord, the first, and with the last; I am he.

Isaiah 44:6
Thus saith the Lord the King of Israel, and his redeemer the Lord of hosts; I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God.

Isaiah 48:12
Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.

Revelation 1:11
Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

You see, those who deny Jesus Christ are denying God Almighty. The Word clearly tells those who have ears to hear, that they are One in the same ("I and My Father are One" - John 10:30)


The Holy Scripture is the Word of God, and the Word was in the beginning with God. The Eternal God is The Word...

John 1:1-3
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made through him, and without him was not any thing made that was made.

And Immanuel / Jesus, was born a man: The Eternal Almighty became a lowly man, and became flesh....

John 1:14
And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

And in becoming flesh, he became a man, and for a little while, became a little lower then the angels. We are told this by the Word of God, in both Hebrew and Greek:

Psalm 8:5
For thou hast made him a little lower than the angels, and hast crowned him with glory and honour.

Hebrews 2:7
Thou madest him a little lower than the angels; thou crownedst him with glory and honour, and didst set him over the works of thy hands:

Hebrews 2:9
But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man.?

There is a Light Burning in the Darkness

Below is a question I believe many in the world might ask considering the push for unity among the religions of the world. The quest to live in peace and harmony, freedom and safety, with our neighbors in the "Global Village".

It is obvious from the news headlines daily, that man continually fails to grasp peace and unity, but the quest is unending. The Word of God tells us that at some point in time, possibly the very near future, the masses will actually believe that a true period of peace has come, and that we will live in "Peace and Safety"

The Light of the World has revealed to us in His Word that this ultimate peace, safety, and freedom is actually a great deception spawned from the time of the earth's creation. It also states that the final perceived realization of it is in all actuality, the ultimate deception from the ruler of this world.

Lucifer (Satan), has temporary dominion over this earth and has bound it in spiritual darkness. Satan has blinded the whole world to the spiritual significance of the world events prevalent before our very eyes as he did with world events throughout history. We have been pawns in his ancient game of "tug-o-war", attempting to rest away supreme dominance from The Almighty Creator. The game continues to this day with the spiritual significance great, and the eternal ramifications greater, as we are moving closer, in this last days, to the return of Jesus Christ. The King of kings and Lord of lords. 

The question from a mid-eastern Muslim I would like to comment on is below. It is my response to him.

QUOTE: "In the other Pope Francis has invite both Israel & Palestinian for special prayer at the Vatican, What say you when the Pope allows these men walk in the holiest places for Christian?"

The answer to this lies in the spiritual realm, not in a secular impression. All are speaking of what you see and discern as "good" or "righteous" because they are together, uniting. So from your comment, I get the impression you think the Pope having them visit Rome for "group prayer" is a good thing? This is the brunt of the problem, in that the "whole world" will be deceived.

They that have the True Word, and the True discernment, which only comes from The Living God, through His Holy Spirit, know that this is a ruse, and that any "unity" brought about by man will be stained and tainted with the sin of man.

There will be no true peace until the Trump of God sounds and Jesus (Yeshua) returns to reclaim the earth. He will have the scroll with the 7 seals which He had broken open, (He is the ONLY ONE worthy to do so, because He Created, and later paid In blood for it at the cross..)

This scroll is the title deed to Earth, which Satan has been given reign over for a period of time until all the works of God which He has ordained are fulfilled, and He then returns to reclaim ownership of His Creation, which the Deceiver had corrupted since The Fall in the Garden of Eden.

 Lucifer or Satan is "the god of this world".

If we say we are "religious" and follow our faith truly, then we can not pick and choose what is true and what is not. You have to take the WHOLE revelation as God's Word or don't bother reading it or following it.

The Jews, Muslims and Christians all claim the Old Testament is the WORD of GOD.

That WORD, by the way, "became flesh and dwelt among us" John 1:14

Back to our "Prayer Party in Rome":

How can these three pray together lest they pray to the same god?

It is my stand that they do pray to the same god. They either do so unknowingly, because they are deceived, or, they do so willingly, because of a greater plan to unite all under the religion of the "god of this world".

Think I lie???  Just take a look on YouTube at the 2014 New Year's celebrations around the world at all the major cites, or maybe the opening ceremonies of the 2014 Olympics in Russia, or maybe the halftime show at this last Super Bowl... and I can go on and on....

Do you see any symbolism in those that might let you believe somebody is trying to propagate something???

Now look on the left side of a US one dollar bill. You are looking at the symbol of a goal: "One World United in Illumination". " Out of Chaos, Order" In Roman numerals: 1776... not the birth year of the US, but the birth year of "The Illuminati", which is affiliated with  Freemasonry.  READ: Adam Weishaupt Bavaria 1776 -  http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Adam_Weishaupt

Of course, that world will be ruled by the "Illuminated Ones" and the rest of us will be its pawns, peons, serfs, slaves.... you call it.

But that is a secular goal, and the goal of Satan. It has been Lucifer's goal since the beginning... (Read Genesis in the OT)

Their "high positions"  in their respective governments or religions, is bought and paid for by the affiliates (supporters, donors, victims of extortion, etc.) who are mobilized and directed by "illuminated" secret societies,  which manipulate world events, working from both sides of a conflict in order to further their short term goals which would eventually lead to their ultimate goal of world domination (NWO if you will).

And we wonder why our politicians do the things they do???  We have been so spiritually deceived...

Jesus came to make those who are bound in darkness, see, and those who say they see... blind... because they reject The Almighty and follow, knowingly or unwittingly, the Deceiver...

How does this relate to these religious leaders wanting to pray together?

If they are working toward the same ends, then this is necessary to maintain the ruse of belligerents seeking peace. The answer is obvious.

Consider reports of the US funding Al Qaeda and ISIS, and then reports of the US fighting against Al Qaeda and ISIS, its OWN weapons being shot back at them?

Russia China, US, UK France, the nations of the whole world; they all have members in the Jesuits, The Masons, The Knights of Malta, The Knights of Columbus, Skull and Bones, and numerous other groups, all the "illuminated ones" who will reign on earth.

The ends justify the means... millions can die to reach the ultimate goal, which is what Satan wants.

Does any of this sound like headline news????

We are being SPIRITUALLY DECEIVED. It is not a conspiracy theory when the SPIRITUAL Realm is the battleground....

It is called FAITH...

>>>>>>

The Black Stone in Mecca fell from the heavens.... Does anyone ask a Muslim:

  "If Allah is God and Mohammed is his prophet, then why do Muslims have to make a pilgrimage to Mecca once in their lifetime to go and bow before a stone and kiss it?  Doesn't the Ten Commandments state that you should have no other gods, worship or create any graven images to worship?"

The stone it is a meteorite.... and was moved from Ephesus to Mecca. It was worshiped in Ephesus by the pagan religions of Greece and Rome:

Acts 19:35:
 And when the town clerk had quieted the crowd, he said, “Men of Ephesus, who is there who does not know that the city of the Ephesians is temple keeper of the great Artemis, and of the sacred stone that fell from the sky?

>>>>>>>

The POPE is in Rome. It is not just a church, it is a POLITICAL STATE. Does any one ask a Catholic:

Why do you go to Rome and visit the Pope, and when you see him, bow down kiss his hands and his feet, and call him  "His Holiness"  when there is "none righteous, no, not one" ?
Why do you pray to the "saints and Mary?"

Doesn't the Ten Commandments state that you should have no other gods, worship or create any graven images to worship?"

Doesn't Jesus say, call no one "father" because your Father is in Heaven?

>>>>>>>>>>

The world is being deceived and has been deceived since the beginning,

Nimrod wanted to build his tower to heaven so that he could hang out where the gods hang out, and rule over his one world kingdom... all the people united. His Tower of Babel to the heavens.

God confused their languages and dispersed them into the ancient nations which were the forerunners of the ones we live in today. The human nations, the descendents all from the Tower of Babel...The original Babylon.... and its original mystery religions.

The pantheistic religion of Babylon dispersed into all the world to create all kinds of new religions based on the original Luciferian inspired mystery religions of Babylon...

The world is so very deceived, and we take it, hook line and sinker....

That is why TRUTH becomes apparent as a result of having a real relationship to God, the Creator of All,  through His Son, the Savior of the World, Jesus Christ

Knowledge of the Truth does not come from man or from following a specific religion, but from God and from His Word, who created all things, and became flesh.

He brought Light to the World so that all could see. "The Life was the Light of Men"

John1:1-5
1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
2 The same was in the beginning with God.
3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.

And more:

John1:1-5
14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

Hopefully, with all of this in mind, the next time you read the "Book of the Revelation of Jesus Christ" (not "Revelations") and see in Chapter 17 the references  to the "Woman on the Beast"  lights will turn on in your head:

Rev 17: 3 -6
So he carried me away in the spirit into the wilderness: and I saw a woman sit upon a scarlet coloured beast, full of names of blasphemy, having seven heads and ten horns. And the woman was arrayed in purple and scarlet colour, and decked with gold and precious stones and pearls, having a golden cup in her hand full of abominations and filthiness of her fornication: And upon her forehead was a name written, Mystery, Babylon The Great, The Mother Of Harlots And Abominations Of The Earth. And I saw the woman drunken with the blood of the saints, and with the blood of the martyrs of Jesus: and when I saw her, I wondered with great admiration.

AND AGAIN:

Rev 17:18
And the woman which thou sawest is that great city, which reigneth over the kings of the earth.

>>>>>>>

Grace and Peace to all in God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Daniel's End Times

Study Notes on the topic of Daniel's End Times

Dan 12:1  And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.  

Dan 12:2  And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.  

Dan 12:3  And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.  

Dan 12:4  But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

Dan 12:5  Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.  

Dan 12:6  And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?  

Dan 12:7  And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.  

Dan 12:8  And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?  

Dan 12:9  And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.  

Dan 12:10  Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.  

Dan 12:11  And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.  

Dan 12:12  Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.  

Dan 12:13  But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

The Call of the Mighty Man of Valor

God uses those who believe they are the least likely to be used.

Many times we are called when we are feeling at our lowest, or feel so insignificant that we couldn't possibly have any impact. It is the Lord letting you know that you are mighty and can accomplish great things in His Power. One well known example of not feeling worthy is Moses' reaction to God's call..

Case in point: The Call Of Gideon

The Call of Gideon

11 Now the angel of the Lord came and sat under the terebinth at Ophrah, which belonged to Joash the Abiezrite, while his son Gideon was beating out wheat in the winepress to hide it from the Midianites. 12 And the angel of the Lord appeared to him and said to him, “The Lord is with you, O mighty man of valor.” 13 And Gideon said to him, “Please, sir, if the Lord is with us, why then has all this happened to us? And where are all his wonderful deeds that our fathers recounted to us, saying, ‘Did not the Lord bring us up from Egypt?’ But now the Lord has forsaken us and given us into the hand of Midian.” 14 And the Lord turned to him and said, “Go in this might of yours and save Israel from the hand of Midian; do not I send you?” 15 And he said to him, “Please, Lord, how can I save Israel? Behold, my clan is the weakest in Manasseh, and I am the least in my father's house.” 16 And the Lord said to him, “But I will be with you, and you shall strike the Midianites as one man.” 17 And he said to him, “If now I have found favor in your eyes, then show me a sign that it is you who speak with me. 18 Please do not depart from here until I come to you and bring out my present and set it before you.” And he said, “I will stay till you return.”

19 So Gideon went into his house and prepared a young goat and unleavened cakes from an ephah of flour. The meat he put in a basket, and the broth he put in a pot, and brought them to him under the terebinth and presented them. 20 And the angel of God said to him, “Take the meat and the unleavened cakes, and put them on this rock, and pour the broth over them.” And he did so. 21 Then the angel of the Lord reached out the tip of the staff that was in his hand and touched the meat and the unleavened cakes. And fire sprang up from the rock and consumed the meat and the unleavened cakes. And the angel of the Lord vanished from his sight. 22 Then Gideon perceived that he was the angel of the Lord. And Gideon said, “Alas, O Lord God! For now I have seen the angel of the Lord face to face.” 23 But the Lord said to him, “Peace be to you. Do not fear; you shall not die.” 24 Then Gideon built an altar there to the Lord and called it, The Lord Is Peace. To this day it still stands at Ophrah, which belongs to the Abiezrites.

25 That night the Lord said to him, “Take your father's bull, and the second bull seven years old, and pull down the altar of Baal that your father has, and cut down the Asherah that is beside it 26 and build an altar to the Lord your God on the top of the stronghold here, with stones laid in due order. Then take the second bull and offer it as a burnt offering with the wood of the Asherah that you shall cut down.” 27 So Gideon took ten men of his servants and did as the Lord had told him. But because he was too afraid of his family and the men of the town to do it by day, he did it by night.

The Lord wants us to utilize His power and do mighty things. We can stand in God's Power and His Word as the shepherd David did when he stood before the mighty Philistine warrior Goliath,  as recorded in 1 Samuel 17:45-47, and said:

“You come to me with a sword, a spear, and a javelin, but I come to you in the name of the LORD of hosts, the God of the armies of Israel, whom you have taunted. This day the LORD will deliver you up into my hands, and I will strike you down and remove your head from you. And I will give the dead bodies of the army of the Philistines this day to the birds of the sky and the wild beasts of the earth, that all the earth may know that there is a God in Israel, and that all this assembly may know that the LORD does not deliver by sword or by spear; for the battle is the LORD’S and He will give you into our hands.”
