El Shaddai - the Almighty God


"Wherefore comfort yourselves together, and edify one another, even as also ye do." 1 Tess. 5:11 (KJV)


"The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Ghost, be with you all. Amen." 2 Cor. 13:14 (KJV)



"And when Abram was ninety years old and nine, the LORD appeared to Abram, and said unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk before me, and be thou perfect." Gen. 17:1 (KJV)

"Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one.[a] 5 Love the LORD your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your strength. 6 These commandments that I give you today are to be on your hearts. 7 Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. 8 Tie them as symbols on your hands and bind them on your foreheads. 9 Write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates." Deut. 6:4-9 (KJV)

EL - Might, strenght, power

El Shaddai is used almost exclusively in reference to the three great patriarchs: Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, and (according to Exodus 6:2-3) was the primary name by which God was known to the founders of Israel (the Name YHVH given to Moses suggests God's absolute self-sufficiency). The word "Shaddai" (by itself) was used later by the prophets (e.g., Num. 24:4; Isa. 13:6, Ezek. 1:24) as well as in the books of Job, Ruth, and in the Psalms. In modern Judaism, Shaddai is also thought to be an acronym for the phrase Shomer daltot Yisrael - "Guardian of the doors of Israel".

El Elyon.

The Most High God.
This title stresses God's strength, sovereignty, and supremacy (Gen. 14:20; Ps. 9:2).
Sometimes referred to in Scripture simply as Elyon (e.g., Num. 24:16).



El Roi.

God Who Sees me; Hagar's name for God when He saw her affliction (Gen. 16:13).
