From Wikipedia, it states that <\/span><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"mso-bidi-language: HE; mso-ansi-language: EN;\">a merism is a figure of speech by which a single thing is referred to by a conventional phrase that enumerates several of its parts, or which lists several synonyms for the same thing. Merisms are conspicuous features of Biblical poetry. For example, in Genesis 1:1, when God creates <em>the heavens and the earth<\/em>, the two parts combine to indicate that God created the whole universe. Similarly, in Psalm 139, the psalmist declares that God knows <em>my downsitting and mine uprising<\/em>; indicating that God knows all that he does.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"mso-bidi-language: HE; mso-ansi-language: EN;\"><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"mso-bidi-language: HE; mso-ansi-language: EN;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;\">So the phrase <em>the beginning and the end<\/em>, includes all that God has done in the beginning and everything in between and finally until the end.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"mso-bidi-language: HE; mso-ansi-language: EN;\"><span style=\"font-size: small; font-family: Times New Roman;\">\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p class=\"MsoNormal\" style=\"margin: 0in 0in 0pt;\"><span lang=\"EN\" style=\"mso-bidi-language: HE; mso-ansi-language: EN;\"><span style=\"font-size: small;\"><span style=\"font-family: Times New Roman;\">In Hebrew, we get additional insight, that Christ left God the Father, the One or Aleph, and in the end, He returned to the presence of the Father in the temple or Tav or the celestial kingdom. Hence, this merism, symbolically represents the entire Plan of Salvation that Christ made possible and paved the way, via His atonement, for all of us. We all leave the Father and if we do all the things in between, like live by faith, repent, be baptized and receive the Holy Ghost and endure to the end, we will return to the Holy of Holies or presence of the Father and the Son.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In the scriptures in several places, Jesus Christ describes himself as Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end.
