Re: Alpha and Omega

The explanation given is very interesting but sometimes some of the passages in the Christian Bible are not all the time symbolic or allegoric. They are literal and mean just what they tend to impart to us. Jesus proclaiming Himself as "ALPHA AND OMEGA" is just what it means. The great BEGINNING AND THE END, THE AUTHOR AND FINISHER OF OUR CHRISTIAN AND MYSTICAL FAITH and so on. Jesus is all of that.
Another way of looking at this great aphorism is that we are all striving towards Christ consciousness. We are tenders of the Christ Light. We wish to be LIKE CHRIST. Is this not afterall what Christianity is all about.
When eventually, we attain the goal of Christ Consciousness, we like Christ will also be ALPHA AND OMEGA. Nothing (positive) will be impossible to us and we will echo Prophet Isaiah's statement in the Bible that"No weapon fashioned against us shall prosper".
When viewed this way, all other averments and affirmations made by Master Jesus will become part of us in our journey towards becoming ALPHA AND OMEGA.

I tend to disagree. There was a time when I held to that way of seeing, but that is long behind me now. The bible itself reminds that there is no single correct way to interpret it, i.e. there is no private interpretation. Private means single. Then we are also told that all scripture is open for reproof, i.e. for examination. Christ also tells us many times that when he speaks among the multitudes, nothing is spoken without parable. Christs teachings are in parable as are the OT prophets as he himself tells us in the bible.

It's like the feeding of thousands parable. If you know how to look you will find the mathematical formula for the vesica pisces symbol embeded within it right there in plain sight.

Don't be so quick to assume that there's only one way to see.

Remember also that he Kingdom is right here spread upon the earth but we do not see it. Why? Because we are the kingdom and we look elsewhere for it

Had it never struck you then that having Alpha and Mega mean simply the beginning and end has Jesus repeating himself in that sentence? "Iam the beginning and the end, the beginning and the end......"
