Directly related to God's Authorship (Hebrews 12:2) is the description that He is the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the ending, the first and the last. It is no accident that Jesus appears in the last book of the bible, Revelation, as the Alpha and Omega. Genesis starts with "In the beginning God" and Revelation ends with "the Omega, the last, the ending."

Alpha is the first letter of the Greek alphabet. Omega is the last letter. We even derive our word for letters from the Greek "alpha" when we say "alphabet." The English equivalent of this name God saying I am "A" and "Z." The clarifier is always the accompanying statement that I am the first and the last, the beginning and the ending.

Hebrews 1:1 describes God as the Creator as imperishable, and never-ending. The earth however, and all things and people in it grow old, and like a garment wear out. God, however, does not wear out. He does not grow old. He really has no beginning or ending in himself. He always was and always will be. Yet for us he is our Alpha and Omega. That is, He is our beginning and ending. He is the starter and finisher of all things.

Paul declares, "He is before all things and by him all things hold together. He is the head, the first born, so that in everything his has the supremacy. (Colossians 1:15-18) God wants us to know that his is the first cause and the last cause. Therefore we can know and be assured that if anything good is going to happen in us, to us, by us, it will be because the Alpha and Omega, the starter and ender of all things determines it to be so. All good comes from him. He is the Author and Finisher, the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and Ending, the First and the Last. This world is not about you. It is about the Lord. He wants to have preeminence in everything. (Colossians 1:18)
