Almighty God: At Isaiah 43:10 Almighty God says: “Before me no god was formed, nor shall there be any after me.” Does this mean that, because Jesus Christ is prophetically called “Almighty God” at Isaiah 9:6, Jesus must be God? Again, the context answers, No! None of the idolatrous Gentile nations formed a god before Almighty God, because no one existed before Almighty God. Nor would they at a future time form any real, live god that was able to prophesy. (Isa. 46:9, 10) But that does not mean that Almighty God never caused to exist anyone who is properly referred to as a god. (Ps. 82:1, 6; John 1:1, NW) At Isaiah 10:21 Jehovah is referred to as “mighty God,” just as Jesus is in Isaiah 9:6; but only Jehovah is ever called “God Almighty.”—Gen. 17:1. If a certain title or descriptive phrase is found in more than one location in the Scriptures, it should never hastily be concluded that it must always refer to the same person. Such reasoning would lead to the conclusion that Nebuchadnezzar

was Jesus Christ, because both were called “king of kings” (Dan. 2:37; Rev. 17:14); and that Jesus’ disciples were actually Jesus Christ, because both were called “the light of the world.” (Matt. 5:14; John 8:12) We should always consider the context and any other instances in the Bible where the same expression occurs. Application to Jesus Christ by inspired Bible writers of passages from the Hebrew Scriptures that clearly apply to Jehovah – The Almighty God. (Huwal awwalu wal Akhiru wazzahiru walbatinu - Quran)

Sadly, this "question" is almost entirely direct, unattributed quotes from pages 413,414 of "Reasoning from the Scriptures", published by Jehovah's Witnesses.
Please properly credit other writers for their work.
The bible does not use the terms "the first" and "the last" synonymously with "Alpha and Omega". The terms "the first" and "the last" have literally dozens of bible applications.
By contrast, the expression "the Alpha and the Omega" is used exclusively with reference to Almighty Jehovah the Father (and no authentic Scripture calls Jesus by this title).
(Revelation 21:5-7) And the One seated on the throne said: “Look! I am making all things new.” ...And he said to me: “They have come to pass! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end. To anyone thirsting I will give from the fountain of the water of life free. Anyone conquering will inherit these things, and I shall be his God and he will be my son.
(Revelation 22:13) I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.

John 8:58 Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am.
Jesus is GOD
John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.
John 1:2 The same was in the beginning with God.
John 1:3 All things were made by him; and without him was not any thing made that was made.
John 1:4 In him was life; and the life was the light of men.
John 1:5 And the light shineth in darkness; and the darkness comprehended it not.
You cannot and will not understand that because you're covered by darkness.
Revelation 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.
Revelation 1:11 Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.

Alpha and Omega - another name for God and Jesus calls Himself that.
Punter, you seem to be taking a lot of interest in the Bible, considering you are a muslim?
