Most of us have heard it said be it on
television, on the
radio, or perhaps even in
film. But how many of us really know what they are talking about? Well here's my take on it.
Let's start with "Ey" it sounds like the name of the letter A. In the
Greek Alphabet this was known as
alpha the first letter of the alphabet the same as
A. Now for "Oh". Oh sounds just like the letter
O also rather like the OW sound in the word
grOW, the same sound made by the letter
omega, the last letter in the
Greek Alphabet.
So in mentioning the beginning and the end of the alphabet. I beleive they are making a secretive reference to
everything. When used as a greeting perhaps it is to mean "How is everything".
"I (
Jesus Christ) am the
Alpha and the
Omega, the First and the Last, the Beginning and the End" -
Revelations 22:13
