The Old Testament was written in Hebrew, which is why we will be looking at both languages, beginning with the New Testament's Alpha and Omega.Ī quick note before we get started, all Hebrew fonts are to be read from right to left. The New Testament was originally written in Greek. This particular lesson will attempt to connect the dots that form an undeniable picture of the Alpha and Omega (Jesus Christ) in the New Testament to the not so obvious, Aleph and Tav (Jesus Christ) in the Old Testament. The Greek letters are not in conflict with the Aleph and Tav in this writing's title, which is the first and last letters of the Hebrew alphabet, otherwise known as the Aleph-Bet.
If you are familiar with the Greek language or church symbols, you might notice that the image above depicts the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, which are Alpha and Omega, on each side of the cross.
