El Olam

El Olam- The Eternal God, The Everlasting God.

He is the Beginning and the End, the One who works His purposes throughout the ages. He gives strength to the weary. Jesus Christ possesses eternal attributes. He is the same yesterday and today and forever. He obtained eternal redemption for us.

Then [Abraham] planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba, and there called on the name of the LORD, the Everlasting God.- Genesis 21:33

"Before the mountains were brought forth, Or ever You had formed the earth and the world, Even from everlasting to everlasting, You [are] God."-Psalm 90:2

"Have you not known? Have you not heard? The everlasting God, the LORD, The Creator of the ends of the earth, Neither faints nor is weary. His understanding is unsearchable."-Isaiah 40:28

"For since the creation of the world His invisible [attributes] are clearly seen, being understood by the things that are made, [even] His eternal power and Godhead, so that they are without excuse."-Romans 1:20

"But the LORD [is] the true God; He [is] the living God and the everlasting King. At His wrath the earth will tremble, And the nations will not be able to endure His indignation."-Jeremiah 10:10

"Trust in the LORD forever, For in Yah, the LORD, [is] everlasting strength."-Isaiah 26:4

Meaning and Derivation: El is another name that is translated as "God" and can be used in conjunction with other words to designate various aspects of God's character. Olam derives from the root word 'lm (which means "eternity"). Olam literally means "forever," "eternity," or "everlasting". When the two words are combined — El Olam — it can be translated as "The Eternal God."

God You are so faithful and so good to us. When are so unworthy of Your the love and grace You gives us... yet You continue to pour Your blessings on us everyday. You give me strength to live each day to Glorify You in everything that comes in my path. You never faint or are weary. Even when we are disobedient to You Oh Lord you are so faithful to leave the 99 and retrieve that one. You are the same today tomorrow and forever. Lord You never change or fade away. You are so Sovereign and God full of love, grace and mercy! Praise You this night!
