I have read in Lowndes' Hebrew-Greek Dictionary that the expression of Revelation αρχή της κτίσεως is taken from Proverbs 8:22 "the beginning of the ways" (resith derek), that is "the first of God's actions", an expression also found in Job 40:19.
The connection between Proverbs 8:22 and Revelation 3:14 is an interesting speculation that can give an additional clue for the Hebraic meaning of αρχή as resith, namely, the first as regards importance or time.
