Every god claims in some fashion to be Alpha and Omega, the source of everything and the end toward which everything is moving, the deep past and the deep future.
Only the Triune God can actually be Alpha and Omega. A monadic God can perhaps be Alpha (though I’m doubtful), the source. But he cannot also be Omega unless Omega is just another way of saying Alpha. A monadic god can do nothing better than return to the beginning.
Because God is Triune, He can be the source of all, and He can also be the end of all, and be the end differently than He is the source. TZhe difference within the Triune life opens “space” for Alpha and Omega to be continuous but not identical; it opens space for Omega to be a non-identical repetition of Alpha.
And thus a Triune God alone could have created the temporal world we know, because in time as we experience it every Omega is different from every Alpha.
Dear Reader,
Can I be direct with you?
War abroad. Socialists on the rise. AI upending human life. Endless uproar online. The modern attention economy doesn’t want readers — it wants users enslaved to the tyranny of the present.
First Things is the antidote: literary excellence, timeless truths, and a fixed point of reference in a culture that has lost its bearings.
But we can’t do it without readers like you.
Our goal: Raise $150,000 by November 1 to sustain First Things in the year ahead.
Your gift anchors readers in the permanent things.
