Please note that "The Alpha & Omega Bible" is a translation of scripture published by I Saw The Light Ministries.

Those organizations do not have any bible translation called "The Alpha & Omega Bible".
We are glad to present this website to you without a fancy high tech design. Many people in Africa and around the world do not have high speed internet, and therefore it's extremely important for our site to be accessible by very slow internet; and have a very basic design. "Old school" is often better in reality.
The Alpha & Omega Bible (AOB) is a 5 volume study bible and restoration of the original scriptures. This translation is a compilation of scriptures from the Paleo-Hebrew fragments of the Dead Sea Scrolls, a revision of Brenton’s translation of the Old Testament Greek Septuagint (LXX), as well as both testaments from the Codex Sinaiticus, the Codex Alexandrinus, and the Codex Vaticanus and many other ancient manuscripts.
The translation of the Old Testament is based mostly upon Sir Lancelot Brenton's translation of the Greek Septuagint (LXX), as well as the Codex Vaticanus, Codex Sinaiticus & Codex Alexandrinus. But we also consider the more ancient Paleo-Hebrew fragments & manuscripts such as the Dead Sea Scrolls and other ancient scrolls. Therefore, this Old Testament is not just a modern revision of Brenton's translation and is not based only upon the Greek Septuagint. But rather, combines information from Brenton's translation (with more modern English), information from ancient Paleo-Hebrew manuscripts including the Greek portions of the Dead Sea Scrolls and information from other ancient bible manuscripts, all together, thereby restoring the original scriptures as much as is possible in modern times.
The New Testament translation is based mostly upon the Nestle-Aland Novum Testamentum Graece 27th & 28th editions, Codex Vaticanus & other ancient Greek manuscripts that are older & more reliable than the pagan Masoretic manuscripts that most modern bibles have been based upon. Although, for both the Old & New Testaments, we also examine & consider the traditional Masoretic Received Text and 20+ other translations including the very first complete printed bible, the "Complutensian Bible". But we give precedence to the oldest & most complete Greek manuscripts.
This translation stays more true to the actual meaning of the Hebrew & Greek words rather than the traditional translations of words. For example, the tradition is to always translate the Aramaic "chagag" & the Greek "heorte" to "feast" such as in "the Feast of Tabernacles". However, the actual meaning of these words is "fiesta", a festival, a celebration, a holiday, to reel back & forth, not a feast of food, although the keeping of a celebration can include feasting.
All other English translations traditionally use "heaven(s)" whenever referring to the sky, universe or Heaven itself, making no distinction. Whereas, this translation clearly makes the necessary distinction in each case.
"The Holy Spirit" is translated "The Holy Breath" because the ancient Hebrew, Aramaic & Greek words for "spirit" in the phrase "The Holy Spirit" actually mean "breath, air or wind". The Word of God is spoken via the breath of God. This is an important connection to make.
"God" is written as "Theos" because that's exactly what was written by the apostles in the New Testament and was also what Jesus and the apostles read in the Old Testament scriptures that they used.
Whenever a Hebrew or Greek word is too difficult to translate with 100% accuracy, we choose to actually keep the original word rather than translate it, then list the possible translations, giving the reader more insight into the possibilities.
We also choose to maintain the actual Hebrew/Greek word whenever the word is still known in modern times, such as "Amen". Many other modern English translations have a tradition of translating "Amen" as "truly" or "verily", which is not necessary. So you can see that this translation is truly more accurate.
Genesis 1:1 IN THE BEGINNING (Aρχή first letter Alpha), THE THEOS (Alpha & Omega) CREATED (perfectly
without flaw, without waste, without corruption) THE UNIVERSE AND THE EARTH.
2a. THEREAFTER, THE EARTH BECAME VAIN WASTE AND DARKNESS CAME OVER THE SURFACE OF THE DEEP.
2b. THEREAFTER, THE SPIRIT OF THE THEOS (Alpha & Omega) BROODED OVER THE SURFACE OF THE WATERS.
Exodus 3:
:14 AND THE THEOS (Alpha & Omega) SPOKE TO MOSES, SAYING, “I-JE ASHER I-JE” (translated: “I AM JE THE BEGINNING, CURRENTLY SELF-EXISTING, AND ETERNALLY EXISTING, JE") AND HE SAID, “THUS SHALL YOU SAY TO THE CHILDREN OF ISRAEL, JESUS HAS SENT ME TO YOU”.
:15 AND THE THEOS (Alpha & Omega) SAID AGAIN TO MOSES, “THUS SHALL YOU SAY TO THE SONS OF ISRAEL, JESUS, THE THEOS (Alpha & Omega) OF OUR FOREFATHERS, THEOS (Alpha & Omega) OF ABRAHAM, AND THEOS (Alpha & Omega) OF ISAAC, AND THEOS (Alpha & Omega) OF JACOB, HAS SENT ME TO YOU: THIS IS MY NAME FOR EVER, AND MY MEMORIAL TO GENERATIONS OF GENERATIONS.
Exodus 6
:2 AND THE THEOS (Alpha & Omega) SPOKE TO MOSES AND SAID TO HIM, “I AM JESUS.
:3 AND I APPEARED TO ABRAHAM AND ISAAC AND JACOB, BEING THEIR ALMIGHTY ALPHA, BUT I DID NOT MANIFEST TO THEM MY NAME JESUS.
John 1:1 IN THE BEGINNING EXISTED THE WORD, AND THE WORD WAS IN THEOS (The Alpha & Omega), AND THE WORD WAS THEOS (The Alpha & Omega).
John 3:16 FOR THEOS (The Alpha & Omega) SO LOVED THE WORLD, THAT HE GAVE HIS ONLY EXISTING SON, THAT WHOEVER SHALL ENTRUST (marry their soul) TO HIM SHALL NOT BE ANNIHILATED, BUT HAVE ETERNAL LIFE”.

5 stars from Fiona from Jamaica:
I must express my appreciation towards I Saw The Light Ministries for allowing Jesus to use them to translate the bible to the AOB, in context and from the Holy breath revelatory knowledge, what I have realized with other translations is that many translated the bible without the Holy breath in the midst, hence they rely on their own intellectual abilities/the flesh to interpret and translate resulting in lots of out of context and erroneous teachings. I must admit that I can sense a big difference through this translation.
I do have a copy of the KJV bible and I was one of those who would tell others to stick to the KJV only; and then at one point I literally lost interest in reading it, which I did find strange. I had absolutely no desire towards it. I would force myself to read it until I came across the AOB.
From the time that I came across this ministry in about April - May, 2020 I have never gone pass one day or night without reading the AOB for hours. I read the entire New Testament at first in less than a month. Then I started from Genesis, I'm about to begin the book of Acts, going all the way to Revelation, then am going to read again and again. This translation is so easy to read and understand and not only that, but also it open my eyes to a lot of nonsense that I was taught, also many things I did not know but now I have come to the knowledge of it. This is a must have copy for all, especially to new born again believers, not to mention the awesome teachings on the website. Those who truly desire truth will be led where it is being taught. I Praise Jesus for the day that I clicked the link to I Saw The Light Ministries!
5 stars from Robert from New Jersey:
"I came across The Alpha & Omega Bible while researching scripture in detail. There is no other translation like it. The commentary makes many incredible claims, which I have researched in attempt to confirm or debunk them. Every single time, I have found nothing but pure and scriptural truth. If you've been confused and misled by the traditional teachings of the denominational churches, then this will help you to overcome all confusion and to understand the truth.
The Alpha and Omega Bible is no doubt the best way to learn and to study the gospel of Jesus. Even if all you do is study the commentary, comparing against the relevant passages in other translations, you will learn considerably. This translation ought to be known to everyone who wants to surrender to and serve Jesus, all over the world.
The paperback has large font, large margins, and extra thick paper. This makes it very easy to read and to search and to mark up with notes."
5 Stars from Peter in Australia: "I came across the Alpha and Omega Bible (AOB) while searching which bible is the most accurate. Ever since I received a copy, there is no question in my mind that this is the most accurate bible out there. It is literally the best translation out there! After thousands of years of corrupted bibles, the AOB shines above the rest.
Great study bible for anyone willing to learn the truth. Includes Old Testament quotes if quoted by Jesus or the apostles in a different font. Easy to understand and good sized fonts for easy reading.
Includes the history of the bible and emergency numbers /subject index at the back. This bible is a must have for anyone who is willing to learn the truth. This bible is definitely worthy of 5 stars!"
5 stars from A.J. in S. Korea: "For over twelve years, I had sought church that teaches Truth of God that satisfying my soul, but I've eventually failed to discover until last year. While I was in sermon, I cried out "Please save me, LORD!", and I believe that Jesus heard my crying and he led me finding out a true church through the internet.
As written in Amos 8:11, though famines is everywhere to prevent to hear Word of God, that does not mean it is impossible to find out the true word. English acts like kind of barrier to Korean. I truly recommend fellow Koreans to read The Alpha and Omega Bible published by I Saw The Light Ministries, because you will come to realize that this bible is written and published by a true follower of Jesus. Just as God has said that true Christians are taught with the help of the Holy Spirit and know everything, I am sure that the interpretation and commentary of The Alpha and Omega Bible will never be found in any other teaching.
It is not easy for anyone who speaks English as well as Koreans to read the various materials written in English as well as Hebrew and Greek, to check their authenticity. As you learn by yourself in 1 Thessalonians 5:21 to verify everything, you will soon find that the ultimate truth (that you find after much trial and error and many hours of learning that you have been through) is in The Alpha and Omega Bible.
Do not miss the opportunity to know the truth of God to us, the last generation, and pray that you will succeed in discovering the truth with The Alpha and Omega Bible.
5 stars from Kiki in Australia: "The Alpha & Omega Bible editions are of excellent value. Up to date truth! The bible written accurately for the first time in over hundreds of years. Explains bible in introduction, history of the Bible & concerning the Word Of Theos (God). Even explains where verses had been added or taken away. Excellent for bible study! Has many notes throughout to help explain/understand bible verses. Revelation notes explained in detail like never before. E.g. Rev. 13:18 shows 3 pictures, what John actually drew, what the mark of the beast truly is. At the end of Revelation is an extra read: Explains 7 seals, 7 trumpets, 7 plagues. Book binding is also well held. Cover and paper is of strong quality. Words are of good size quality. I can read without my magnify glasses. Verse layout is great & I now only read these Alpha & Omega bibles. A must for those who sincerely want to read & study the true word of God."
5 stars from John: "Wonderful reading"
I love the fact that it is closer to the original translations and gives translations and meaning of the Greek words used.
5 stars from Raven
Great product.
5 stars from Darrel
Easy to read.
5 stars from roasted duck Great product for people who are really into strange things. Only few will be able to discover this translation and read it online despite the PDF being free. Excellent resource for people interested in different translations of the bible with this one baseing its work off of the lxx which some people consider to be a more pure translation of the bible.
5 stars from T.M.
I like the large format a lot. This is a great Bible with explanatory notes throughout. Well done to the Author.
Well worth the price. It has a lovely colourful illustrated cover too.
5 stars from Sue M.R.
Absolutely brilliant, love it.
We have received other reports of people saying that they had become lukewarm with traditional bible versions, but when they started reading the AOB, they immediately regained their passion for reading the bible. Even people who disagree with our study notes, and said that our doctrines were "strange" or "weird", confess that the translation itself is truly accurate. But many people have testified that the study notes opened their eyes and that the notes make more sense than anything that they had ever heard from traditional religions.
