This title is often used to convey God's omnipotence, sovereignty, and eternal nature. In the original Hebrew, the term is often translated from "El Shaddai," which can mean "God Almighty" or "God the All-Sufficient One."<br><br><b>Old Testament References</b><br><br>The title "The Almighty" first appears in <a href="/genesis/17.htm">Genesis 17:1</a>, where God reveals Himself to Abram: "When Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to him and said, 'I am God Almighty; walk before Me and be blameless.'" . Here, God establishes His covenant with Abram, underscoring His power to fulfill His promises.<br><br>In the book of Job, the title "The Almighty" is frequently used, highlighting God's unparalleled power and wisdom. <a href="/job/37-23.htm">Job 37:23</a> states, "The Almighty is beyond our reach; He is exalted in power; in His justice and great righteousness, He does not oppress." . This passage reflects the belief in God's incomprehensible nature and His just governance of the world.<br><br><b>New Testament References</b><br><br>In the New Testament, the title "The Almighty" is prominently featured in the book of Revelation. <a href="/revelation/1-8.htm">Revelation 1:8</a> declares, "'I am the Alpha and the Omega,' says the Lord God, who is and was and is to come—the Almighty." . This verse affirms God's eternal existence and His ultimate authority over time and history.<br><br><a href="/revelation/19-6.htm">Revelation 19:6</a> further emphasizes God's omnipotence: "Then I heard a sound like the roar of a great multitude, like the rushing of many waters, and like a mighty rumbling of thunder, crying out: 'Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.'" . This passage celebrates God's sovereign rule and His ultimate victory over evil.<br><br><b>Theological Significance</b><br><br>The title "The Almighty" encapsulates key attributes of God, including His omnipotence, sovereignty, and self-sufficiency. It serves as a reminder of God's ability to accomplish His will and purposes, regardless of human limitations or opposition. The Almighty is not only powerful but also intimately involved in the lives of His people, providing, protecting, and guiding them according to His perfect will.<br><br>In Christian theology, the recognition of God as The Almighty fosters a sense of awe and reverence, encouraging believers to trust in His power and submit to His authority. It reassures them of God's control over the universe and His ability to bring about His divine plan, ultimately culminating in the establishment of His eternal kingdom.</div></div><div id="centbox"><div class="padcent"><a name="sub" id="sub"></a><div class="vheading2">Subtopics</div><p class="pspc"><a href="/topical/a/almighty.htm">Almighty</a></p><a name="rel" id="rel"></a><div class="vheading2">Related Terms</div><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/a/almo'dad.htm">Almo'dad (2 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/j/jerah.htm">Jerah (2 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/j/joktan.htm">Joktan (6 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/s/sheleph.htm">Sheleph (2 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/b/begot.htm">Begot (119 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/b/begat.htm">Begat (112 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/h/hazarma'veth.htm">Hazarma'veth (2 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/h/hazarmaveth.htm">Hazarmaveth (2 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/a/arabia.htm">Arabia (9 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/a/almighty.htm">Almighty (242 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/b/begotten.htm">Begotten (77 Occurrences)</a></p><p class="pspc2"><a href="/topical/g/genealogy.htm">Genealogy (29 Occurrences)</a></div></div></td></tr></table></div><div id="left"><a href="/topical/t/the_allure_of_worldly_prosperity.htm" onmouseover='lft.src="/leftgif.png"' onmouseout='lft.src="/left.png"' title="The Allure of Worldly Prosperity"><img src="/left.png" name="lft" border="0" alt="The Allure of Worldly Prosperity" /></a></div><div id="right"><a href="/topical/t/the_almond_tree.htm" onmouseover='rght.src="/rightgif.png"' onmouseout='rght.src="/right.png"' title="The Almond Tree"><img src="/right.png" name="rght" border="0" alt="The Almond Tree" /></a></div><div id="botleft"><a href="#" onmouseover='botleft.src="/botleftgif.png"' onmouseout='botleft.src="/botleft.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botleft.png" name="botleft" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div><div id="botright"><a href="#" onmouseover='botright.src="/botrightgif.png"' onmouseout='botright.src="/botright.png"' title="Top of Page"><img src="/botright.png" name="botright" border="0" alt="Top of Page" /></a></div> <div id="mdd"><div align="center"><div class="bot2"><table align="center" width="100%"><tr><td><div align="center"><script id="3d27ed63fc4348d5b062c4527ae09445"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=51ce25d5-1a8c-424a-8695-4bd48c750f35&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script> <script id="b817b7107f1d4a7997da1b3c33457e03"> (new Image()).src = 'https://capi.connatix.com/tr/si?token=cb0edd8b-b416-47eb-8c6d-3cc96561f7e8&cid=3a9f82d0-4344-4f8d-ac0c-e1a0eb43a405'; </script><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-2'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-0' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-3'> </div><br /><br />  <div id='div-gpt-ad-1529103594582-1' style='max-width: 300px;'> </div><br /><br />  <div align="center" id='div-gpt-ad-1531425649696-0'> </div><br /><br /> <ins class="adsbygoogle" style="display:inline-block;width:200px;height:200px" data-ad-client="ca-pub-3753401421161123" data-ad-slot="3592799687"></ins> <script> (adsbygoogle = window.adsbygoogle || []).push({}); </script></div></td></tr></table></div></div></div> <br /><br /> <div align="center"> <div id="bot"><iframe width="100%" height="1500" scrolling="no" src="/botmenubhnew2.htm" frameborder="0"></iframe></div></td></tr></table></div></body></html>
