Revelation
22:13—_
I am the First and the Last, the
Beginning and the End.
Having proven that the words Alpha and Omega were added to this Scripture, Revelation 22:13, The Book Of Yahweh correctly reads.
I am the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End.
We know Yahshua said this. We know it is no contradiction for Him
to call Himself the last, for He will live forever.
We know it is no contradiction for Him to call Himself "the end," for He is the end result of having kept His Father's Laws perfectly.
For Yahshua is the ultimate result of keeping the Law unto righteousness for everyone who believes.
The translators tried to distort this Scripture to try to make you believe that Yahshua Messiah ended the Law. Romans 10:4 taken from the King James Version, shows us how this Scripture has been distorted.
For Christ is the end of the law for righteousness to everyone that believeth.
If you will research the meanings of the word translated end in this Scripture, then you will see that this word means ultimate, prophetic purpose, and not end as is universally understood in the English context.
The word translated end in Romans 10:4, as well as Revelation 22:12 is word #5056, from Strong's Greek Dictionary and means to set out for a definite point or goal; prop. the point aimed at as a limit, ultimate or prophetic, purpose.
Religious imposters also use Romans 10:4 in order to deceive the people in this world into thinking that Shaul taught against Yahweh's Laws. The Apostle Shaul never once taught against the Law of Yahweh. In fact, he taught all to keep Yahweh's Law. In the same book of Romans, which Shaul wrote, we find the following Scriptures.
For not the hearers of the Law are the righteous in the sight of Yahweh, but the doers of the Law are the righteous.
Do you not know that to whom you yield yourselves as servants to obey, his servants you are whom you obey; whether of sin which leads to death, or of obedience which leads to righteousness?
There are many Scriptures in the book of Romans, which teach against sin: against breaking the Law of Yahweh (I Yahchanan 3:4). However, these two should be enough to show you that the Apostle Shaul did not teach against the Laws of Yahweh, as the false religious leaders would have you believe.
Now, in Revelation 22:13, Yahshua called Himself the "last" because He has been resurrected to eternal life, and now He will never die again. He called Himself the "end" because He is the end product, the ultimate result of keeping the Law of Yahweh.
What did He mean when He called Himself the first in Revelation 22:13? Did He mean that He was the first being to ever exist? Many would have you think so. Did He mean that He was the Father of all living? There are some who would have you believe this. Was Yahshua saying that He pre-existed? If you will let Scripture interpret the Scriptures, then understanding will come.
And from Yahshua Messiah; the faithful witness, and the firstborn from the dead , and the Ruler of future kings of the earth. To Him Who loved us and freed us from our sins by His own blood.
When Yahshua called Himself the first in Revelation 22:13, He made no reference to pre-existence. Yahshua simply meant that He was the firstborn from the dead, which means that He was the first to be raised from the dead and given eternal life. Because Yahshua was raised from the dead, He is now immortal, He was the first to be fully created in the full image of Yahweh. This is what Yahshua meant when He said He was the first, in Revelation 22:13.
What, then, did He mean when He called Himself the beginning in this same Scripture? Does this mean that He was in the beginning with Yahweh, as some would also have you to believe? The answer to this question is found in:
And to the malak of the congregation of The House of Yahweh in Laodicea, write: These things says the Faithful and the True One, the One testifying of the faith and the truth; the first perfected of Yahweh's creation.
In this Scripture, Yahshua called Himself the beginning of the creation of Yahweh. Yes, man in his present physical state, is only a half-created being, because we are still corruptible flesh, as Shaul said.
For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality.
We are still dying in this world. If you do not believe this, just read the obituaries. Man is only in the likeness of Yahweh at this time; man was created to resemble Yahweh. Man has a form just like Yahweh, a head, a chest, arms, legs and feet, just as Scriptures describe Yahweh as having.
However, Yahshua Messiah, because He is the first to be raised from the dead to eternal life, is now in the full image of Yahweh. Yahshua is perfected. He has become the first or the beginning, among men, to reach the state of perfect, completed, whole creation, as Yahweh's Plan for mankind is.
Therefore,
He still has no reference to pre-existence in calling Himself the beginning in
Revelation 22:13. Yahshua Messiah simply meant that He was the beginning,
the first perfected of Yahweh's whole creation, or plan for man.
