Alpha & Omega?

Rev 1:8

I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.

Who is the Alpha & Omega?

Thks

Alpha and Omega is not a who, but rather a title. It refers to the first and last Greek letters of the alphabet. So it refers to a beginning and an end and it refers to the words. We need more of the picture to get a complete idea of what this means.

Seems you are quoting from the KJV so let's use that one for the rest of my point.

Revelation 1:11 says, "I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last" so these titles refer to the same idea.

Revelation 1:17,18 refer to the first and the last having died:

17And when I saw him, I fell at his feet as dead. And he laid his right hand upon me, saying unto me, Fear not; I am the first and the last: 18I am he that liveth, and was dead; and, behold, I am alive for evermore, Amen; and have the keys of hell and of death.​

So since we know God can't die, yet the first and the last died, that's how we know that this title "Alpha and omega" must refer to a title and not explicitly to a person. This way Jesus and God can share the same titles without one being the other person.

So the Alpha and omega in Revelation 1:4-8 is clearly the Father, not Jesus, in the context. The Almighty is not Jesus.

Revelation is about Jesus!

Rev 1:1 The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave unto him, to shew unto his servants things which must shortly come to pass; and he sent and signified it by his angel unto his servant John:

2 Who bare record of the word of God, and of the testimony of Jesus Christ, and of all things that he saw.

Who is the God who gave to Jesus the revelation, a Trinity?

Don’t think so.

Christ does not receive truth, Christ is truth! Jn 14:6

Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Jn 1:14 And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld his glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father,) full of grace and truth.

15 John bare witness of him, and cried, saying, This was he of whom I spake, He that cometh after me is preferred before me: for he was before me.

16 And of his fulness have all we received, and grace for grace.
(Glory, as the sola says glory to God alone)

But didn't Jesus get the truth from the Father?

John 8
40But now you are trying to kill Me, a man who has told you the truth that I heard from God. Abraham never did such a thing.

Both God and man
How was JTBaptist sanctified in the womb by the presence of Jesus a mere man in your understanding?

1 Timothy 2:5
For there is one God, and one mediator between God and men, the man Christ Jesus;

Able to be the mediator cos He can is both God and man!

John 1:51
And he saith unto him, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Hereafter ye shall see heaven open, and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of man.

Which of these will you ignore?

Who being the brightness of hisglory, and the express image of hisperson, and upholding all things by the word of his power, when he had by himself purged our sins, sat down on the right hand of the Majesty on high:

Jesus Christ yes?

Yes, not Jesus the Son of man. He did the will of Christ the husband with delight .
