Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and, What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea. (REV 1:11)
And unto the angel of the church in Smyrna write; These things saith the first and the last, which was dead, and is alive; (REV 2:8)
