1 | Almighty and Mighty God | Is 9:6 | sisterkath | 77945 | ||
Hi Tim, At Isaiah 9:6 Jesus Christ is prophetically called 'El Gib.bohr', "Mighty God" not 'El Shad-dai' "God Almighty, which is applied to Jehovah at Genesis 17:1. The plural form, 'e.lim', is used when referring to other gods, such as at Exodus 15:11 "gods". It is also used as the plural of majesty and excellence, as in Psalm 89:6; "Who can resemble Jehovah among the sons of God", bi.beneh' 'E.lim'? That the plural form is used to demote a single individual here and in a number of other places is supported by the translation of 'E.lim' by the singular form The.os in the Greek Septuagint; likewise by Deus in the Latin Vulgate. Among the Hebrew words that are translated "God" is 'El, meaning "Mighty One; Strong One." Ge 14:18. It is used with reference to Jehovah, to other gods, and to men. It is also used extensively in the makeup of proper names, such as Elisha; meaning "God is Salvation" and Michael; "Who Is Like God?". In some places 'El appears with the definite article; ha.'El', literally, "the God" with reference to Jehovah, thereby distinguishing him from other gods. Ge 46:3; 2 Sa 22:31. The word "Almighty", itself shows a higher ranking, Ezekiel 32:21. sisterkath |

Scripture ... Rev 1:8, 11:17, 15:3, 16:7, 14, 19:6, 15 ... Well ... sisterkath, I see Jesus Christ my Lord as being Almighty (Pantokrator). Are the above verses about Christ or the Father? I do not see mighty as being a lower rank than almighty ... even in the passage you cite. Eze 32:21 "The strong among the mighty ones shall speak of him and his helpers from the midst of Sheol, 'They have gone down, they lie still, the uncircumcised, slain by the sword." God, the Father is also Mighty ... Deu 10:17 "For the LORD your God is the God of gods and the Lord of lords, the great, the mighty, and the awesome God who does not show partiality nor take a bribe. Also read Psa 132:2, 5; Isa. 1:24, 4. Last breath, Searcher |

Hi Searcher; Scripture ... Rev 1:8, 11:17, 15:3, 16:7, 14, 19:6, 15 ... Well ... sisterkath, I see Jesus Christ my Lord as being Almighty (Pantokrator). Are the above verses about Christ or the Father? Pan·to·kra´tor Rev 1:8, refers to the Father Jehovah the Almighty (according to my studies and the Hebrew translations) Rev 11:17 refers to the Father Jehovah the Almighty(according to my studies and the Hebrew translations) Rev. 15:3 refers to the Father Jehovah the Almighty(according to my studies and the Hebrew translations) Rev. 16:7 refers to the Father Jehovah the Almighty(according to my studies and the Hebrew translations) Rev 16:14 refers to the Father Jehovah the Almighty(according to my studies ) Rev 19:6 refers to the Father Jehovah the Almighty(according to my studies and the Hebrew translations) Rev 19:15 also refers to the Father Jehovah the Almighty(according to my studies) That was very simple. All Almighty (presidents, powers, GOD) has to be at least Mighty but not all mighty gods are Almighty for there can only be One Almighty of anything, including God. There simply cannot be two Almighty Gods. My question remains unanswered directed to Tim but by anyone now. Why have the ‘majority of the translations, including the NASB ‘changed’ what was originally written by God’s inspiration? I am speaking of changing the tetragrammaton to adonai in the Heb, or kurios in the NT? The LXX started it all and since then others have followed suit. The NWT is most commendable as are many others (over 150 that I know of, for the NT) in “restoring” God’s personal name. Confusion! as to the true identity of our Heavenly Father has resulted because of these translations. I am not confused! The greatest indignity that today’s translators could have done was done! by removing or concealing God’s personal name and identity from their translations and my fellow human companions. Sorry but this is most, most elementary and yet I’m called a “cult” ! Tyndale used God’s name in his translation. The result? Some 3,000 copies were printed and smuggled into England. The bishop of London bought every copy he could find and burned them publicly in St. Paul’s churchyard. Eventually, Tyndale was captured, tried, and convicted of heresy. In 1536 he was strangled and burned at the stake. Today’s clergy still hates God’s personal name! Not my opinion, fact. Truthfinder |

Amazing ... you studied the NT in Hebrew. Uhm, so it had to be translated from the Greek. Are you saying that God the Father was speaking in Revelation 1:8 ... what about verse 11 ... then was there a change of speakers in verses 17ff? |

Hi Searcher, What's amazing about the NT in Hebrew? Pardon my ignorance but what's your point concerning the Hebrew and the New Testament? Truthfinder |

I would rather study in the original Greek ... which happens to be a more perfect language. Therefore, any translation is less than desired. Nonetheless, is there different speakers in Revelation 1? Is so, why doesn't John say so? |
