Like the mysterious priest, Melchizedek, Jesus (Yeshua‘) has no beginning of days or end of life (Heb 7:3). Instead, He is the source and consummation of everything, the Beginning and end. This is one of a group of names of God and Jesus that speak of their eternal nature.
Beginning and end in the Greek text of Revelation 21:6.
