Names of God

“I have raised my hand to the Lord, God Most High (El Elyon), the Possessor of heaven and earth,” (Gen. 14:20 NKJV)

God has many names and titles in the Bible. Each one tells us something important about Him—His character and how He relates to us. And how we must relate to Him. Here is another one of His many Names, which is El Elyon.

El Elyon – God Most High

El Elyon—God Most High or LORD Most High means there is no idol, god, or created being that should be worshiped or exalted over the Lord because He is superior in every way. The authority of the Most High God surpasses all boundaries, including those between nations, Heaven and Earth, spirit and physical entities, angels and devils, and humans and other living things.  His dominion and power are timeless and universal. He is El Elyon, the Most High God, the strongest One, the possessor of Heaven and earth.

Therefore

“I cry out to God Most High (El Elyon), to God who fulfills his purpose for me.” (Psalm 57:2)
