This designation underscores God's unparalleled position above all other beings and entities, both in heaven and on earth. Old Testament Usage In the Old Testament, "Highest" is frequently used to describe God's exalted status. For instance, in <a href="/psalms/18-13.htm">Psalm 18:13</a> , it is written, "The LORD thundered from heaven; the voice of the Most High resounded—hailstones and coals of fire." Here, "Most High" is synonymous with "Highest," illustrating God's supreme power and authority over natural elements. The term is also used in a prophetic context, as seen in <a href="/daniel/4-17.htm">Daniel 4:17</a> : "This decision is by the decree of the watchers, and the command by the word of the holy ones, so that the living may know that the Most High rules over the kingdom of men and gives it to whom He wishes and sets over it the lowliest of men." This passage highlights God's ultimate control over human affairs, reinforcing His position as the Highest. New Testament Usage In the New Testament, the term "Highest" continues to affirm God's supreme status. In <a href="/luke/1-32.htm">Luke 1:32</a> , the angel Gabriel announces to Mary about Jesus, saying, "He will be great and will be called the Son of the Most High. The Lord God will give Him the throne of His father David." Here, "Most High" is used to denote God's supreme authority, which is also bestowed upon Jesus as His Son. The term is also used in the context of worship and praise. In <a href="/luke/2-14.htm">Luke 2:14</a> , the angels proclaim at Jesus' birth, "Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace to men on whom His favor rests!" This declaration emphasizes the glory and honor due to God, who is the Highest. Theological Significance The designation of God as the "Highest" carries profound theological implications. It affirms the monotheistic belief in one supreme God who is above all gods and powers. This title reflects God's omnipotence, omniscience, and omnipresence, characteristics that set Him apart from all creation. In the biblical narrative, acknowledging God as the Highest is integral to understanding His relationship with humanity. It calls for reverence, worship, and obedience from His followers, recognizing His ultimate authority and the rightful place of His will in the lives of believers. Related Concepts The concept of the "Highest" is closely related to other biblical terms such as "Most High," "Almighty," and "Sovereign." Each of these terms contributes to a fuller understanding of God's nature and His unparalleled position in the universe. The use of these titles throughout Scripture serves to remind believers of God's greatness and the proper response of worship and submission to His divine will.<a name="isb" id="isb"></a><div class="vheading2">International Standard Bible Encyclopedia</div>HIGHESThi'-est (`elyon; hupsistos): The translation of `elyon, used frequently of God and commonly translated "Most High" (<a href="/psalms/18-13.htm">Psalm 18:13</a>, "The Highest gave his voice," the Revised Version (British and American) "Most High"; <a href="/psalms/87-5.htm">Psalm 87:5</a>, "the highest himself," the Revised Version (British and American) "Most High"; <a href="/ezekiel/41-7.htm">Ezekiel 41:7</a>, "the lowest (chamber) to the highest"); of tsammereth, the foliage of a tree (as if the wool or hair of trees), "the highest branch" (<a href="/ezekiel/17-3.htm">Ezekiel 17:3, 12</a>, the Revised Version (British and American) "top," "lofty top"); of ro'sh, "head," "top" (<a href="/proverbs/8-26.htm">Proverbs 8:26</a>, "the highest part of the dust of the world," the King James Version margin "the chief part," the Revised Version (British and American) "the beginning of," margin "sum"); gappe marom, "on the ridges of the heights" (<a href="/proverbs/9-3.htm">Proverbs 9:3</a>, "the highest places of the city"); ghabhoah me`al gabhoah, literally, "one high (powerful) who is above the high (oppressor)," is translated "he that is higher than the highest" (<a href="/ecclesiastes/5-8.htm">Ecclesiastes 5:8</a>), the Revised Version (British and American) "one higher than the high (regardeth)."
