the alpha and omega

Definition 
The sum of something, the beginning and the end, symbolized by the first (alpha) and last (omega) letters of the Greek alphabet. The Book of Revelation (1:8) states: "I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord." The modern equivalent is a to z. See also from soup to nuts.
