Biblical Concept: Almighty
Underlines and end parentheses are mine.
NAS Genesis 17:1 Now
when Abram was ninety-nine years old, the LORD appeared to Abram and said to
him, "I am God Almighty; Walk before Me, and be blameless.
NAS Genesis 28:3
"And may God Almighty bless you and make you fruitful and multiply you,
that you may become a company of peoples. (God Almighty and blessing
relationship.)
NAS Genesis 35:11 God
also said to him, "I am God Almighty; Be fruitful and multiply; A
nation and a company of nations shall come from you, And kings shall come forth
from you.
NAS Genesis 43:14 and
may God Almighty grant you compassion in the sight of the man, that he
may release to you your other brother and Benjamin. And as for me, if I am
bereaved of my children, I am bereaved."
NAS Genesis 48:3 Then
Jacob said to Joseph, "God Almighty appeared to me at Luz in the
land of Canaan and blessed me,
NAS Genesis 49:25 From
the God of your father who helps you, And by the Almighty who blesses you
With blessings of heaven above, Blessings of the deep that lies beneath,
Blessings of the breasts and of the womb.
NAS Exodus 6:3 and I
appeared to Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, as God Almighty, but by My
name, LORD, I did not make Myself known to them. (The NASB translation “Lord”
is the Hebrew tetragrammaton hwhy / Yahweh. In the previous context God Himself explains
the meaning and significance of the name:
Exodus 3:13-15 13 Then Moses said to God,
"Behold, I am going to the sons of Israel, and I shall say to them, 'The
God of your fathers has sent me to you.' Now they may say to me, 'What is His
name?' What shall I say to them?" 14
And God said to Moses, "I AM WHO I AM"; and He said, "Thus you
shall say to the sons of Israel, 'I AM has sent me to you.'" 15 And God, furthermore, said to
Moses, "Thus you shall say to the sons of Israel, 'The LORD, the God of
your fathers, the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob, has
sent me to you.' This is My name forever, and this is My memorial-name to all
generations.
The name “God
Almighty” often signifies blessing
from God while “Yahweh”
emphasizes the eternal nature of God.
Note Revelation 1:8 below.)
NAS Numbers 24:4 The
oracle of him who hears the words of God, Who sees the vision of the
Almighty, Falling down, yet having his eyes uncovered,
16 The oracle of him
who hears the words of God, And knows the knowledge of the Most High, Who sees
the vision of the Almighty, Falling down, yet having his eyes uncovered.
NAS Ruth 1:20 And she
said to them, "Do not call me Naomi; call me Mara, for the Almighty has
dealt very bitterly with me.
21 "I went out
full, but the LORD has brought me back empty. Why do you call me Naomi, since
the LORD has witnessed against me and the Almighty has afflicted me?"
NAS Job 5:17
"Behold, how happy is the man whom God reproves, So do not despise the
discipline of the Almighty. (Like the time of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob;
Almighty is the preferred term applied to God during Job’s time.)
NAS Job 6:4 "For the
arrows of the Almighty are within me; Their poison my spirit drinks; The
terrors of God are arrayed against me. (Particularly in Job, God Almighty is
involved in cursing.) (Care needs to be taken with the majority of the
statements in Job 2:11-31:40—the discussions of the three comforters and
Job. The three comforters do not know
what they are talking about, as is evidenced by the following:
Job 42:7-9 7 And it came about after the LORD
had spoken these words to Job, that the LORD said to Eliphaz the Temanite, "My wrath is kindled against you and against
your two friends, because you have not spoken of Me what is right as My servant
Job has. 8 "Now
therefore, take for yourselves seven bulls and seven rams, and go to My servant
Job, and offer up a burnt offering for yourselves, and My servant Job will pray
for you. For I will accept him so that I may not do with you according to your folly, because you
have not spoken of Me what is right, as My servant Job has." 9 So Eliphaz the Temanite and Bildad the Shuhite and Zophar the Naamathite went and
did as the LORD told them; and the LORD accepted Job.)
14 "For the
despairing man there should be kindness from his friend; Lest he forsake
the fear of the Almighty.

God pervert justice Or does the Almighty pervert what is right?
5 "If you would
seek God And implore the compassion of the Almighty,

you discover the depths of God? Can you discover the limits of the Almighty?

would speak to the Almighty, And I desire to argue with God.

has stretched out his hand against God, And conducts himself arrogantly against
the Almighty.

there any pleasure to the Almighty if you are righteous, Or profit if you make
your ways perfect?

to the Almighty, you will be restored; If you remove unrighteousness far from

will be your gold And choice silver to you.

will delight in the Almighty, And lift up your face to God.

soul,

instruct you in the power of God; What is with the Almighty I will not conceal.

what is the portion of God from above Or the heritage of the Almighty from on
high?
35 "Oh that I had
one to hear me! Behold, here is my signature; Let the Almighty answer me! And
the indictment which my adversary has written,

it is a spirit in man, And the breath of the Almighty gives them understanding.
NAS Job 33:4 "The
Spirit of God has made me, And the breath of the Almighty gives me life.
NAS Job 34:10
