Alpha and Omega

This Christmas eve morning on my property we witnessed a curious event, as a neighbor's orange tabby cat had fellowship with five young white tailed deer. The deer followed the tabby around, then the cat laid down, as the deer just stood about. There was no fear of danger, or suspicion among them.
It reminded me of the scripture in Isaiah:

"The wolf will live with the lamb,
the leopard will lie down with the goat,
the calf and the lion and the yearling together;
and a little child will lead them. "
Isaiah 11:6

Jesus said, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, the Beginning and the End"...His birth was in fact the beginning of the end of the darkness ushered in after the fall of Adam,
He is the Omega-the end-of sin and death, and its grip over the earth.


"Many peoples will come and say,
“ Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord,
to the house of the God of Jacob.
He will teach us his ways,
so that we may walk in his paths.”
The law will go out from Zion,
the word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
He will judge between the nations
and will settle disputes for many peoples.
They will beat their swords into plowshares
and their spears into pruning hooks.
Nation will not take up sword against nation,
nor will they train for war anymore."
Isaiah 2:2-4

The Alpha and the Omega- Peace on Earth- the whole earth is your footstool, Lord, Creation groans with eager anticipation of your return as you restore all things to their original glory...I say Baruch haba b'shem Adonai, Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord, let the people say, and let everything that has breath, praise the Lord today, come Lord Jesus.
