Omega
Three Times Is a Heads Up
Are you familiar with the significance of the number three in the Bible? Jesus prayed three times in the Garden of Gethsemane, “not My will but Yours.” Jesus told Peter three times, “feed My sheep.” Jesus rose from the grave on the third day. God is a triune Deity.
Yes, the number three has significance throughout Scripture. Mindful of that, we should pay attention to when theLORD says something three times, as in the following:
- “’I am the Alpha and the Omega,’” says the Lord God, ‘who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty,’” Revelation 1:8.
- “Then He said to me, “’It is done. I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end…,’” Revelation 21:6.
- “’I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end,’” Revelation 22:13.
Three times in Revelation Jesus announces who He is: the Alpha and Omega. We often talk about Jesus being at creation and His presence in Scripture. Less often we talk about Jesus in terms of what He refers to as “the end,” the “Omega.”
What does Jesus mean when He says He is the Omega? Among many points, Jesus is telling us that this world as we know it will end and He will be there. Keep reading and you’ll learn that He is ushering in a new heaven and a new earth and He will be there. Jesus is the Omega, not just the Alpha. Are you ready for when this world ends…to meet Jesus?
Lord, You are the Alpha and OMEGA, who is and who was and who is to come. Knowing that You hold the present and future is a blessed comfort. I praise You.

Praise to the Omega
“‘I am the Alpha and the Omega,’ says the Lord God, ‘who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty'” (Revelation 1:8).
Do you ever wonder what is going to happen in our world? If you know your Bible, it’s both comforting and sobering to realize that the end of the world, as we know it, is approaching. What comfort can we have as wars and rumors of war continue; as terrorism strikes far and near? Our comfort is that at the end, our Lord God, the Omega, will be there.
Lord, You are the Alpha and OMEGA, who is and who was and who is to come. Knowing that You will always be present with us is comforting.
If you have Prayers of My Heart prayer journal, take time today to go through it and highlight or record ways God has answered your prayers. It’ll encourage your heart to think on His faithfulness in the past and in the future.
