Who is the First and Last, Jehovah or Jesus?

(Revelation 1:17, 22:13)

This will seem to be a contradiction if you don't believe Jesus is the only God. In Isaiah 48:12, 41:4, 44:6. God expresses that He is the first and last. In Revelation 1:17, 22:13, Jesus said, I am the first and last. Who is correct? This statement proves beyond a doubt, that Jesus is the same God who told the prophets in the Old Testament He is the first and last, verified by I Corinthians 10:4.

The Jews don't recognize Jesus as the One and Only True God, “The Messiah.” And there are some Christians who don’t recognize Jesus as the one and only True God. That's why God told us, “straight is the way and few will find it.”

There will be people who won't make it in, nor find the way, because of their unbelief that Jesus Christ is the one and only Almighty God. Jesus said if you don't believe "I am he," you will die in your sins (John 8:24).

People think they know who God is and they really don't. Search the scriptures, for in them you think you have eternal life. Eternal life is in the believe in the name of Jesus Christ, which is the Rock of our salvation. The Rock (Jesus Christ) of salvation is repentance, baptism in Jesus name for remission of sins, and reception of the Holy Ghost (Acts 2:38).

When Jesus said in John 10:30, I and my Father are one (meaning the same), he helps us understand that the statement, "first and last", in the Old and New Testaments are spoken by the same God - Jesus Christ, God's highest name (Acts 4:12, 9:5).

The one Lord in Deuteronomy 6:4 in the Old Testament, is the same Lord that was born and walked among us in the New Testament - Jesus Christ. (Isaiah 9:6, Luke 2:11). Jesus Christ is the one Lord and Almighty God and without him there was not anything made (John 1:10, Revelation 1:8).
