#biblical terms

• Alpha and Omega — A metaphorical expression of biblical origin, extracted from the Book of Revelation, combining the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet to symbolize divinity, eternity, Omnipotence, and the totality of existence. In a secular or broader sense, the phrase is used to describe the fundamental principle, the absolute essence, the beginning and the end, or the totality of knowledge and defining elements within a specific field.
• Arioci — An archaic plural form or rare graphic variant historically linked to the biblical name Arioch (king of Ellasar or captain of Nebuchadnezzar's guard); sometimes used in old ecclesiastical translations to designate the suite, officials, or subjects of such an ancient ruler.
