It is the Revelation of Jesus the Christ. Jesus says that He is the Alpha and the Omega, the One who lived and died and is alive again. If this is Jehovah saying this, when did Jehovah ever die?

All three times the title "Alpha and Omega" is used in Revelation,
Almighty God Jehovah is the 'speaker'. In actuality, nowhere is the bible is "Alpha and Omega" mentioned as dying.
The oldest Greek manuscripts, such as Alexandrine, Sinaitic, and Codex Ephraemi rescriptus, show that the KJV's use of the term at Revelation 1:11 is spurious. A small handful of other translations dishonestly insert the name "Jesus" at Rev 22:12 or Rev 22:13 but secular scholars unanimously agree that the most reliable ancient manuscripts never had Jesus' name there. Revelation 22:13 discussed Jehovah the Father.
In contrast to the Greek philosophy, pagan tradition, dishonest scholarship, and tortured "logic" of trinitarianism, Jehovah's Witnesses believe that the Scriptures alone quite plainly demonstrate that Jesus and the Almighty are separate distinct persons, and the Almighty created Jesus as His firstborn son.
(Colossians 1:15) the firstborn of all creation
(Mark 10:18) Jesus said to him: 'Why do you call me good? Nobody is good, except one, God.
(Revelation 3:14) the Amen says, the faithful and true witness, the beginning of the creation by God
(Philippians 2:5-6) Christ Jesus, who, although he was existing in God's form, gave no consideration to a seizure, namely, that he should be equal to God
(John 8:42) Neither have I come of my own initiative at all, but that One sent me forth
(John 12:49) I have not spoken out of my own impulse, but the Father himself who sent me has given me a commandment as to what to tell and what to speak
(John 14:28) I am going my way to the Father, because the Father is greater than I am
(1 Corinthians 15:28) But when all things will have been subjected to him, then the Son himself will also subject himself to the One who subjected all things to him
(Matthew 20:23) this sitting down at my right hand and at my left is not mine to give, but it belongs to those for whom it has been prepared by my Father
(1 Corinthians 11:3) I want you to know that the head of every man is the Christ; ...in turn the head of the Christ is God
(John 20:17) I am ascending to my Father and your Father and to my God and your God.
(Deuteronomy 6:4) Jehovah our God is one Jehovah
(1 Corinthians 8:4-6) There is no God but one. For even though there are those who are called "gods," whether in heaven or on earth, just as there are many "gods" and many "lords," there is actually to us one God the Father, out of whom all things are, and we for him

If you read the 1st chapter & 1st verse of Revelation, it shows the revelation was originally given by Jehovah God through his Son, Jesus Christ. The title "Alpha & Omega" carries the same thought as the "first and the last" and "the beginning and the end" which these terms are referring to Jehovah God (also compare Isaiah 44:6)

Yes he is alive again because he was ressurected. He didnt resurect himself nor did he pray to himself. Jesus was resurected by his father Yahway (jehovah). Jehovah is the Alpha and the Omega!
