God’s Name is El-Shaddai
Daniel Thomson
Description
He showed Himself in Exodus 3:14, 15: "I'm who I'm who I'm who I'm who I'm who I To the children of Israel, say, "Jehovah, the God of your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has sent me to you: this is my name forever and ever, and this is my monument to all generations."" "And God spoke unto Moses, and said unto him, I am Jehovah: and I appeared unto Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty, but by my name Jehovah, I was not known [or was not made known] to them," it says in Exodus 6:2, 3. It was believed that this signified the Patriarchs didn't fully comprehend the meaning of that name. Naturally, the whole meaning of a name that implies the ever-existing One, the eternal, the everbecoming One—that is, the One who is always revealing Himself and His methods and purposes—could not be grasped until centuries and centuries of events and experiences had unfolded. The argument is that God was known to the Patriarchs in particular. God Almighty, or El- Shaddai in Hebrew, is one of God's names. The name initially appears in relation to Abraham.
