Page 26 - Elohim - Almighty Godhead

Let us begin to properly define the meaning this Hebrew Name:

(1)

n(osiunng)ular (2)

ALM“ITGHHETY” (plural

“GOGDOS,DGHOEADDH”OOnoDun,)

“EL” by itself is also a Name for the Almighty (see list pg. 24). It is a SINGULAR
noun meaning, “The Strong One” or “The Almighty One.” No controversy here.
However, the letters ending in “IM” in “ELOHIM”, depicts for us a very strong
PLURAL noun with the choice of meaning of “Gods, Godhood, Godhead.”
There is controversy here!

Some Christian scholars view the Name “ELOHIM” as revealing the hidden
seeds of the Triune Godhead that the New Testament will plainly unfold as
the Triune Divine Godhead of Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

THIS IS IMPORTANT:

It is of paramount importance that we understand that the above revelation of the
Triune Godhead contained in the word, “ELOHIM” becomes badly overshadowed by
the translators of ALL of our English Bibles, including the King James Version, by the
generic English word, “God” being substituted in place of the specific Name of
“ELOHIM.” Only by the use of works like Exegete Herb Jahn’s “Exegeses Parallel
Bible” or a good Hebrew Interlineal Bible will show what the Almighty has recorded
about the supreme importance of studying His various names as revealed in Scripture.
The singular Name “GOD” is a poor substitute for the plural Name “ELOHIM”!
In the very first verse of Genesis Chapter One the Almighty is revealed with His
chosen Name of “ELOHIM.” The Name specified here in Hebrew scripture is NOT
“God”, but rather is “Elohim.” By the time you get down to verse 26 Elohim speaks
as a PLURAL Godhead with the use of such clarifying words as “US and OUR“:

“Then “God” Elohim said,
"Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness”

Gen.1:26

The contextual setting of Genesis Chapter One requires that we properly interpret
the Creator as being “ELOHIM” (the Almighty Godhead) who proclaims plainly of
this Triune Godhead, “Let US make man in OUR image, and in OUR likeness.”
It is puzzling that the translators left Genesis 1:26 intact plainly depicting a
PLURAL Godhead of (“US and OUR”), but plunged ahead substituting a singular
generic “God” Name for the plural Name of “ELOHIM.” That is a vivid example
of the power of tradition at work! Rabbinical Judaism has had its way with our
English translations in substituting the generic singular Name, “God” in place of
the specific Name of “Elohim.” This blatant substitution occurs in every one of the
2,197 places where “Elohim” is used in the Old Testament! It is intentional!
