Summary

When scripture speaks of God as the First and the Last, it is literally the First (ALEF) and the Last (TAV) letters of the alphabet. Jesus claimed this same title for himself, and both the ALEF and the TAV are pregnant with meaning that cannot be missed, clearly pointing to the cross and salvation. Plus, why David Livingstone was fearless (he courageously faced down Muslim slave traders ), what George Muller taught about the trials of life, why Pilate's question about truth was categorically wrong, the mark believers literally wear on their foreheads, why have a theology grounded in victory, and the need more than ever for an uncommon faith. As Livingstone said, "I SHALL TRY TO HOLD MYSELF IN READINESS TO GO ANYWHERE, PROVIDED IT BE FORWARD."
