Christmas bauble number 1 (1 of 6) Elohim

_ Hamish has many names and sometimes one name but many meanings!  HAMISH can be shouted when I am angry at him, whispered when I am endeared by him.  Hamish is also known as rascal, NO, cutie and given his full name when I mean business – Hamish Ponton!

God is perfect so all His names have positive, unique and amazing meanings. In the bible different names are given to God; sometimes modern translations take out the nuances of the original names.  These different names help us to appreciate, worship and better understand the different attributes, abilities and nature of God. 
Meanings of names were very important in the bible as it showed who you were as a person.

I bought 6 Christmas baubles of God’s names which I will share with you what I found in my study to be the basic meaning of those names.  But there are many more names of God.  Maybe next Christmas I will make some more.
I urge you to do a full study on God’s names – it’s really interesting and enlightening.

There are many different places you can start (strong’s exhaustive concordance is one), but here are a couple of many websites which I found helpful in studying the names of God.

Elohim.  As this is the first name used in the bible (Genesis 1:1)
I thought we’d start with
Elohim – Creator and Judge 

_ ‘El’ means mighty or strong.  Elohim is the masculine plural Hebrew noun of El or “Eloah”.  This does not mean there are many gods as the usage is mainly within singular verb, adjectives and pronouns.
Many believe it to be plural in majesty and the intimation of the trinity.
Elohim is used in the Old Testament over 2200 times.

Some verses where Elohim is used - (Isa. 54:5, 45:22; Jer. 32:27; Gen. 1:1, 1:27, 6:13, 9:12; Isa. 45:18; Deut. 5:23; 8:15, 4:39, 32:39; Ps. 68:7; Ex. 20:2-3 ).

So how does all this help us?  There was no big bang or random events.  God is the one and only - creator of all heaven and earth and of you and me.  God was and is and is to come.  There is no one and nothing greater than God.

We can also give everything over to Elohim knowing He is the perfect judge.  We can leave that hurtful situation with Him, He knows each heart.

There will be a judgment day when everything will be judged by Elohim – all the injustices of this world; the evil people that seem to have gotten away with it, will not on that day. 
If you are a Christian we do not fear the judgment day, as we are not under condemnation of judgment of sin anymore, (John 5:24) but we will have to give an account of what we did in our life, to Christ.

Do you need to trust Elohim today? 
Trust and know that Elohim made the earth and it wasn’t a random series of events?
Believe that Elohim is the perfect judge so you can trust Him?
Or do you need to come and know God personally so you do not need to fear the judgment day?
