Christ however: Firstborn & Last of Creation...
In Colossians 1:15 it is clearly stated: "He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation."
God, however, is the Eternal, without beginning or end. He was not born. He is a Spirit (John 4:24) and invisible. He is the Alpha. (Christ is no Spirit, but has a risen body (Romans8:11, Romans 10:9)).
John4:24: "God is a Spirit".
Also Proverbs 8:22-31 tells how Christ as "wisdom of God" was first created/born before the foundation of the world and assisted in the Creation as God's Master craftsman, Proverbs 8:20:
"Then I was beside Him as a master craftsman <0525> and I was His Delight day by day, rejoicing before Him at all times".
(0525): Amown; skilled architect, master workman.
And in John 17:5 Christ talks about that and says this:
"Father, now take me to Thee and glorify me with the glory I had with Thee before the world was."
So Christ is a creature and was born before Creation and lived with God in God's Glory. Hence also that he could be sent to us at a later time by the only true God YHWH as can be read in John 17:3 in which Christ himself says:
"This is life eternal: that they may know thee, the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom Thou hast sent."
Yet Christ is also the last of Creation. How and why can be read in 1Corinthians 15:24-28 which says this:
“After this the end will come; then he will destroy all dominions and principalities and powers, and he will hand over the kingdom to God the Father. For Christ must reign as king until all enemies are subject to him. The last enemy that is killed is death. For it is written that God hath put all things in subjection. Yes, all things, but of course not God himself, who put all things in subjection to him. And when all things are subjected to him, the Son subject himself to God, who subjected all things to him. Then God will be all in all."
So everything is brought by God under Christ, and then lastly Christ is brought under God, and then God will be all in all. Thus God is the Omega.
Christ himself puts it this way: "And to the angel of the church in Smyrna write, These things saith the first <4413>and the last <2078>, which was dead, and is alive." Revelation 2:8
So Christ is the Prototokos (Firstborn), thus Protos (4413: First) and Eschatos (2078: Last) of God YHWH.
And God is the Alpha and Omega. He always existed and is the Eternal. He is no creature neither a sent servant.
But how about Revelation 1:8 saying this: "I am Alpha <1> and Omega <5598>, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty".
Clearly Christ doesn't claim to be the Almighty himself. Instead he refers to "his and our Father, his and our God" in John20:17. And he teaches his pupils to pray to "Our Father". But for those that still don't understand Revelation 1:8 reading Revelation 21:23 after the heavenly Jerusalem descends out to Earth (Revelation 21:1) will shed light on it saying:
"And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and its lamp is the Lamb".
Christ will be sent by God at the very end to the new Jerusalem; Christ will be the Lamp of God's Light. In this way God is the Omega & Almighty and coming; yet Christ is sent and embodies God's Lamp on Earth.
Let's not forget:
"Thus says the LORD <03068>: “Heaven is my throne, and the earth is my footstool", Isaiah 66:1
03068: YHWH, the Name of GOD.
