Revelation 1:8  “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End …”

Since God is always first, it is inevitable that God will also last.

When it comes to the plan that God has for the world, mankind is never allowed to speak the first word or the last word. This is a prerogative that belongs to God the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and it is not one that God will ever give up to His creatures.

God decides the time and place of a man’s birth without consultation with the man himself. Man has no control over the circumstances surrounding his birth. A day comes when the little man realises that he is conscious. It is there that his life of free will begins.

Right up to that point, he had nothing to say about anything.

After that, he struts and boasts, and the sound of his own voice offers him the encouragement he needs to announce his independence from God.

I hope you are having a good time, little man; you are just babbling in the pause that exists between the first and the last. In the beginning, you did not have a voice, and in the end, you will not have one either!

You are in God’s hands regardless of whether you want to remain in them or not, and God reserves the right to pick up where He left off at the beginning of the entire process.

Despite the fact that Adam became a living soul, this transformation did not occur of his own free will. In the process of creating Adam with a live soul, God was the one Who acted on His will and made it happen. It was God who was first!

Moreover, even after Adam committed sin and ruined his entire life, God continued to be present. Adam’s entire future peace was dependent on this fact: that God continued to exist even after he had committed sin.

It would therefore be wise for us to spend every moment of our in the light of this amazing and awful truth: God is the first and the last!
