Quotes About El Elyon

the most high God [El Elyon], the possessor of heaven and earth" (14:22), he is telling this Gentile leader that God is the king's leader and that the king is God's servant.

But when one researches the meaning behind the original Hebrew words, their truer fuller meaning comes to light. Elohim is revealed as a more generic plural reference to the Creator as all humankind can know through general revelation.[7] El Elyon has a linguistic affinity to the Ugaritic "Elyon Ba'al" a name for the Most High God of Canaan, and therefore a polemical stance against him. Ba'al is not the Most High, the God of Israel is.[8]
