For Mee:
Who is these scriptures talking about:
Who hath wrought and done [it], calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I [am] he. -- Isa. 41:4 Thus saith the LORD the King of Israel, and his redeemer the LORD of hosts; I [am] the first, and I [am] the last; and beside me [there is] no God. -- Isa. 44:6 Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; I [am] he; I [am] the first, I also [am] the last. -- Isa. 48:12 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. -- Rev. 1:8 And he said unto me, It is done. I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end. I will give unto him that is athirst of the fountain of the water of life freely. -- Rev. 21:6 Please just tell me who those scriptures are refering to? |

Re: For Mee:
here i am again
when i saw mee i thought me. are you trying to preach to Mee? or are you trying to preach to me? or does Mee mean just for you? are you the beginning of this thread? are you the end of this thread? or did you start the thread, thus making post #1 the beginning & not you? does God have a beginning? does God have an end? can God be put into a time capsule with a beginning & an end? or does God create the beginning & the end, thus making the beginning & the end something(s) or someone in between & God being everything from A-Z & all that is before A & all that is after Z.? thus making A the beginning & Z the end, but God is neither A nor is He Z.? but at the same time He is also A & Z, with no beginning & with no end. yet here, it (HE) requires a beginning and an end. Is God the first in time? that would give God a beginning. Is God the end of time? that would give God an ending., yet God has no beginning nor ending & he cant be the last in time either, because God is outside of time & all that he is. Yet He is first & He is the last. so is God the actual beginning? or does God create a beginning? if He is the beginning, then i say the beginning of what? the beginning of who? the beginning of Himself? i dont think so can you see past the beginning? can you see past the end? in order to be first does that not require a beginning OR is FIRST something before the beginning? If God is first before all others, then He has a (is a) beginning & yet God has no beginning. i know. i am sure you have something perfectly figured out Proph1. pardon my interruption between you & mee. carry on on my brother ![]() |

Through Isaiah, Jehovah foretells a conqueror who will both save God’s people from Babylon and bring judgment upon their enemies. Jehovah asks: "Who has roused up someone from the sunrise? Who proceeded in righteousness to call him to His feet, to give before him the nations, and to make him go subduing even kings? Who kept giving them like dust to his sword, so that they have been driven about like mere stubble with his bow? Who kept pursuing them, kept peacefully passing along on his feet over the path by which he did not proceed to come? Who has been active and has done this, calling out the generations from the start? I, Jehovah, the First One; and with the last ones I am the same."—Isaiah 41:2-4. well i would think that the present day fullfillment of this prophecy would be the warrior king Jesus christbut of coarse the first fullfillment of this prophecy was cyrus the persian |

![]() And Mee, thanks for the reminder about Cyrus the Persian. I am sure there are those of the Jewish persuasion who could elaborate on the passage... |
