7 Powerful Bible Names of God with Meaning

EL SHADDIA – The Almighty God

EL is part of God’s name and when you add SHADDIA you are literally saying God Almighty or the God of the Mountains. Mountains almost always refer to the nations in the Bible. God is not only the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob but of the entire world…of all the nations. This expresses the Omnipotence of God. When Abraham and Sarah were past natural child-bearing age, God told Him that “I AM Almighty God [EL SHADDIA]” and that “those who dwell in the secret place of the Most High shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty [EL SHADDIA]” (Psalm 91:1). This is where EL SHADDIA is used and why the translators of the Hebrew used the word Almighty. EL SHADDIA is sovereign over all the earth, over all the nations, over all things in fact. The Almighty is mighty over all there is in the universe and in heaven which includes the angels, including Satan and the fallen angels (demons).
