Alpha and Omega The first and last letters of the Greekalphabet used, as in Rabbinical proverbs the first and last letters of the Hebrewalphabet were, as symbols of "the beginning and the end." These latter words are not here a part of the genuine text; they come from Revelation 22:13.

Lord Should be followed by "God;" the group of titles represents "the Lord, Jehovah the God of Hosts" of the O. T. The word we render "Almighty" perhaps rather meaning "of all might" is the usual representative in the LXX. of the word [Lord of] Sabaoth. So in the Athanasian Creed, "Almighty" is coupled with the divine names"God" and "Lord," not with the divine attributes"eternal, incomprehensible, uncreated."
