(Editor’s Note: This article was adapted
from the book El Shaddai: The God Who Is More Than Enough.)
“And when Abram was ninety years old and
nine, the Lord appeared to Abram, and said
unto him, I am the Almighty God; walk
before me, and be thou perfect” (Gen. 17:1).
When the Lord God revealed Himself to
Abraham in Genesis 17:1, He used the Hebrew
name El Shaddai, which the King James
Version translates as “Almighty God.”
El Shaddai is one of seven covenant names
through which God revealed Himself to Israel.
In Hebrew, El Shaddai means “the All-Sufficient
One,” or “the God Who is more than
enough.”
Throughout the Old Testament,
Almighty God revealed and
unveiled Himself as the God
Who is more than enough.
He is the God of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob.
He said to Abraham, “. . . thy seed shall be a
stranger in a land that is not theirs, and shall
serve them; and they shall afflict them four
hundred years; And also that nation, whom
they shall serve, will I judge: and afterward
shall they come out with great substance”
(Gen. 15:13–14).
Four hundred thirty years went by. God
came on the scene and spoke to a man by the
name of Moses, who led the children of Israel
out of Egypt.
As they were leaving, however, Pharaoh’s
heart was hardened. He went after them
with his soldiers, intending to recapture
them and make them his
slaves again.
