God in the OT,
I am the first and I am the last, and there is no God besides me. Isaiah 44:6
Jesus in the NT,
I am the first and the last, and the living one; and I was dead, and behold, I am alive forevermore, and I have the keys of death and of Hades. Revelation 1:17-18
The title "the first and the last" is most likely the highest title of God and Jesus uses this title for Himself, for he is God.
Jesus also uses this title in Revelation 22:13,
I am the Alpha and the Omega, the first and the last, the beginning and the end.
If he is not God, why does he use that title?
