Jehovah witnesses, Who is He who is identified in Isaiah 41:4?

Question

Isa 41:4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD (ie Jehovah), the First, and with the Last; I am He.

Rev 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.


Why is Jehovah in Isaiah 41, Who is the First and the Last, the Alpha and Omega, Who is the Almighty in Rev 1:8? Who is the Almighty Jehovah?

.....so Jehovah witnesses, those who can give an honest answer, Who is He who is identified in Isaiah 41:4 together in Rev 1:8?

Vot Anarж

You are deliberately deceitful, as it is very clear, Jehovah in Isaiah 41, who is the First and the Last, is identified as the Lord Jesus Christ, who is the Alpha and Omega, the Almighty in Rev 1:8.

conundrum

You have the spirit of the accuser of the brethren. Look and see at my profile if I had asked the question before! I am sure you are a JW, a liar at best; just like all them JW

Answer 1

Our Lord and Saviour, Jesus Christ.

Answer 2

Jehovah goes on to say: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.” (Rev. 22:13) Those who have studied the Bible along with world history know that this fact was proved beyond doubt centuries ago. No God has existed before him and none have been able to establish themselves as God Almighty after him. Neither is he a God that is invented by his worshipers. He is the Creator, the God of Israel and of Jesus Christ and the God of Christians. (John 20:17; Rom. 3:29) If we do not treat prophesyings with contempt, we will appreciate reading what Jehovah said over 2,600 years ago, over 800 years before the book of Revelation was written: “This is what Jehovah has said, . . . ‘I am the first and I am the last, and besides me there is no God.’” (Isa. 44:6, 7) “To no one else shall I give my own glory. Listen to me, O Jacob, and you Israel my called one. I am the same One. I am the first. Moreover, I am the last.”—Isa. 48:11, 12; 41:4.

In the past Jehovah has fought against other gods and shown his superiority, and what gods have ever been able to stand or remain before him? He showed the gods of Egypt, Assyria, Babylon and of all the other nations to be impotent. And where are those gods today? They are remembered only as relics of the dim past. Only a few know of them at all. But Jehovah’s name lives to be more prominent than ever today. Jehovah will soon exercise power to show that he is the beginning and the end in the controversy over godship. The present-day gods, science, evolution, Communism and nationalism, he will bring to an end, proving them all to be false gods. He will also humiliate the worshipers of such gods and will reveal Jehovah’s witnesses to be truthful in representing Him as the only true God.

Now, wonder of wonders! The Sovereign Lord Jehovah himself speaks. How appropriate this is as a preface to the visions that are about to unfold, since he is our Grand Instructor and the ultimate Source of Revelation! (Isaiah 30:20) Our God declares: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, . . . the One who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.” (Revelation 1:8) This is the first of three times in Revelation that Jehovah himself speaks from heaven. (See also Revelation 21:5-8; 22:12-15.) First-century Christians would quickly have recognized alpha and omega as the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet. Jehovah’s calling himself by those two letters stresses that before him, there was no almighty God, and there will be none after him. He will bring to a successful conclusion, for all eternity, the issue of Godship. He will be forever vindicated as the one and only almighty God, Supreme Sovereign over all of his creation.—Compare Isaiah 46:10; 55:10, 11.

Answer 3

You are confusing yourself. Jehovah and Jesus are not the same person. Jehovah is the Most High. (Ps. 83:18) Jesus is the Son of the Most High. (Luke 1:32) Can you see the difference?

Isa. 41:4 is talking about Jehovah. Jehovah is also the Alpha and the Omega and the Almighty at Rev. 1:8. That is in harmony with Ex. 6:3, where it says: "And I used to appear to Abraham, Isaac and Jacob as God Almighty, but as respects my name Jehovah I did not make myself known to them."

BTW, why are you so hostile and hateful toward those who disagree with you? You need to drink a glass of warm milk and then take a nap for a couple of weeks. That will do you a lot of good.

Answer 4

Isaiah 41:1 is clearly referring to Jehovah (LORD, YHWH)

Why shouldn't he be in Isaiah 41:4? If he is in Genesis, why not in Isaiah?

Rev 1:8 refers to Jehovah, he is the ONLY one referred to as ALMIGHTY in the Bible.

“I am the Al′pha and the O·me′ga,” says Jehovah God, “the One who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.”

Alpha and Omega means the same as First and Last. Alpha and Omega is equivalent to saying "A and Z" (from our alphabet)

Who is the Almighty Jehovah?
Let the Bible answer:

Ps 83:18
That people may know that you, whose name is Jehovah,
You alone are the Most High over all the earth.

Rev 4:11
“You are worthy, Jehovah, even our God, to receive the glory and the honor and the power, because you created all things, and because of your will they existed and were created.”

Answer 5

Rev 1:1 "The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him."

God gives John the Revelation about Jesus Christ.

Rev 1:7 "Behold, he cometh with clouds; and every eye shall see him"

God tells John that "He" (Jesus) will cometh with clouds.

Rev 1:8 "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending"

God is giving John the Revelation so "I" (Jehovah God) am the Alpha and Omega.

When has the questioner ever used "he" to talk about themselves?

Answer 6

Revelation 1:8 refers to Jehovah, not Jesus, as can clearly be seen by the context...

Revelation 1:4-8 “John to the seven congregations that are in the [district of] Asia: May YOU have undeserved kindness and peace from...

1) “The One who is and who was and who is coming,” and
2) from the seven spirits that are before his throne, and
3) from Jesus Christ, “the Faithful Witness,”...

Verse 8 says "“I am the Al′pha and the O·me′ga,” says Jehovah God, “1) the One who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.””

The person who says this is "the One who is and who was and who is coming", or number one on the list above. Not Jesus, who was number 3 on the list above.

Answer 7

Why are you asking JW's a question & then calling all JW's liars?
Isn't that a bit pointless?
If you don't want to know what their opinion is then why ask them?

(I agree with Shane)


they seem nice people to me (unlike a lot on here - R&S)

Just an observation

Answer 8

This very Question was asked a few days ago, perhaps by you....again.However...
A discerning person does not allow words to flow out of his mouth hastily. He thinks before speaking and enjoys peaceful relations with others because a “mouth of discretion” leads him to choose his words carefully. When faced with foolish or speculative questioning, a man of discernment is able to ‘hold back his sayings.’ (Proverbs 17:27)
Okay..Thanks.

Answer 9

Both Isaiah 41:4 and Revelation 1:8 refer to Almighty Jehovah, God the Father.
...(Isaiah 41:4) I, Jehovah, the First One; and with the last ones I am the same.
...(Revelation 1:8) I am the Alpha and the Omega,” says Jehovah God, “the One who is and who was and who is coming, the Almighty.”

In the entire bible, the expression "Alpha and Omega" is used exclusively with reference to Almighty Jehovah, God the Father.

No actual Scripture ever refers to Jesus as Alpha and Omega. The KJV (of 1611) and a few other bibles include a fraudulent additional phrase in Revelation 1:11 which has been exposed as a lie for over a hundred years.

Actually, neither Alpha and Omega do not appear in the most authoritative renderings of Revelation 1:11. Jehovah's Witnesses are not unique in recognizing this bible truth, but are perhaps unique in recognizing the repercussions in exposing the origins of this spurious addition (see John 8:44-47).

Here is Revelation 1:11 in its entirety from several respected translations.
