B) It has oft been said among circles of people who claim to be “of the faith”, that Yahweh has characterized Himself as the “Alpha and Omega”, the “Beginning and the End”. This tragic misunderstandi – ng is part and parcel of what transpires when one attempts to translate Hebrew words and their intent in the Greek language, a butchering of magnanimous proportions. The specific verse is Revelation 22:13 and the two above phrases are the common interpretations. The fascinating part is that if one were to seek out sources, they would quickly find that the words alpha and omega are not even the Greek words used in the verse. The actual Greek words would be prOtds (prOtos) (“first”), with the definition “foremost”. The other word is the Greek word eschatos (es- khat-os) (“last”), and it’s definition is “farthest”. So according to the Greeks, Yahweh’s expressions through His language of creation is that He is the “Foremost and the Farthest”. Let’s actually utilize the Hebrew language and divulge what Yahweh has actually said: “I am the Aleph (“Family”; mental yoking) and the Tau (“Signature”; mental mark). Does “foremost” and “farthest” express proper intent?
Does the reality that Yahweh is expressing that He exists in everything that pertains to life and holiness through His Holy created language, find itself in Greek definitions and interpretations?
Now back to the idea of alpha and omega. The Greek word for alpha is the actual first letter of the Greek alphabet; AA (al -fah). It’s definition, “first”. The .•• o • mega is the actual last letter of the Greek alphabet; 0 (o-meg-ah). It’s definition, “finality”. Not foremost and farthest, but first and finality. Knowing that alpha and omega are not even the appropriate words for the verse, we peer into the reality that Greeks knew that Yahweh was using the first and last letter of the Hebrew alphabet to express His utter dominance (see Psalm119 for an overview of each of the twenty-two letters). And that their hijacked concept to alter true reality has indeed deceived many. Suffice it to say that if this writer was asked what percentage I would equate to the idea that the Greek language fails at revealing the Hebraic intent of the scriptures, I would answer, “100% of the time!”
