Revelation 1:8 > The Almighty

1:8 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

I am Alpha and Omega,

• ​I = Christ
  
• I am = God, the great I AM
• Alpha = the first letter of the Greek alphabet; figuratively refers to the beginning
• Omega = the last letter of the Greek alphabet; figuratively refers to the ending

And by implication, Christ is also every letter in between Alpha and Omega (our A-Z), which are used to become "all the words that proceed out of the mouth of God" formed by different combinations of the various letters of the alphabet.

Being BOTH the Alpha and Omega figuratively refers to being wholly responsible for all things from beginning to end.

​In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. -- John 1:1

the beginning and the ending,

• ​the beginning (Alpha figuratively) = the origin or source of all things
• the ending (Omega figuratively) = the whole or finality of all things

saith the Lord,

• ​This is the Word of God
• ​This is the Truth
  

which is, and which was, and which is to come,

• ​which = who
• is = God, the great I AM
• was = the God of your past, the God of Abraham, the God of your fathers'
• is to come = will return

the Almighty.

• ​Omnipotent
• ​All powerful
