Scripture spotlight
Revelation 1:17-18
bible
17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet like a dead man. He laid his right hand on me, saying, "Don't be afraid. I am the first and the last, 18 and the Living one. I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore. Amen. I have the keys of Death and of Hades.
Used to argue Jesus is the coming one, the Alpha and Omega, the Almighty, and the first and last who died and lives forever.
The host cited this passage to argue that Jesus explicitly takes the divine title 'the First and the Last,' paralleling Qur'an 57:3 and supporting Christ's divinity.
Cited to argue that Jesus identifies himself as “the first and the last,” matching language attributed to Jehovah/the Father in Isaiah and challenging the claim that the Son is a created being.
