Who is El Shaddai?
Who is El Shaddai?
EL SHADDAI is one of the covenant names through which God the Father, creator of heaven and earth revealed Himself to Israel. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac and Jacob. He is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8).
In Hebrew, EL SHADDAI means “The God who is more than enough.” “The Most Sufficient One.” “The Breasted One.” Jerusalem Bible translated EL SHADDAI as the “Almighty God” (Genesis 17:1;35:11).
El Shaddai is a combination of two Hebrew words: "El" means God,and "Shaddai" means Almighty. Thus El Shaddai is translated as "God Almighty" (Genesis 17:1 and Genesis 35:11) "El Shaddai" is one of the seven Covenant Names through which God the Father, the Creator of heaven and earth, and of all things seen and unseen, revealed Himself to Israelites, His Chosen people. He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob. He is the All- Powerful and ever- Living God Who never changes. He is the same yesterday, today and forever (Hebrews 13:8). He is the All- Sufficient One- "The God Who is More Than Enough." He is the Source and Provider of all our needs, and with Him, all things are possible.
