Alpha and Omega
(Doctrine and Covenants Commentary, p. 91)
The first and the last letter of the Greek alphabet, used as symbols of the beginning and the ending. Christ is so called, because He is the Author and the Preserver of all things (Heb. 1:2, 10).

(Doctrine and Covenants Commentary, p. 604)
The same as Alpha and Omega in Rev. 1:8 and 22:13; the first and the last letters of the Greek alphabet, meaning, "the first and the last." Our Savior is so called, to denote that He is the beginning and the ending: the author, preserver, and upholder of all things, and His glory the end of them. "Thou art worthy, O Lord, to receive glory and honor and power, for thou hast created all things, and for thy pleasure they are and were created" (Rev. 4:11).
The Mighty God
from Christ and the New Covenant, p. 81
"Mighty God" conveys something of the power of God, his strength, omnipotence, and unconquerable influence. Isaiah sees him as always able to overcome the effects of sin and transgression in his people and to triumph forever over the would-be oppressors of the children of Israel.
Mighty God. Some modern scholars would like to understand this to mean that our Redeemer is here referred to as mighty "warrior." He was that in the conflict that ended with the expulsion of the fallen angel from the presence of God. See Luke 10:18; Rev. 12:9; 2 Ne. 2:17, 18; D. and C. 29:36, 37; Pearl of Great Price, Mos. 4:3, 4. But he was also "God." The name indicates his divinity.
