The Logos is the Beginning of all things because from Him flow the creative outpourings, the particular logoi of creatures. He is the End of all things because He is the center toward which all created beings tend. This is the mystical meaning behind His words: I am the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the Ending (Revelation 1:8).
