El Olam: The Eternal God

In the tapestry of biblical names for God, one stands out as a beacon of His eternal nature and unchanging character—El Olam. This name, found throughout the Old and New Testaments, reveals God as the everlasting, unshakable God who reigns supreme over all the ages. In this blog post, we explore the profound significance of El Olam, tracing its roots, understanding its implications, and delving into its rich presence in Scripture.
El Olam: The Eternal and Unchanging God
The name El Olam is a powerful declaration of God's eternal and unchanging nature. It combines two components: "El," meaning "The God," and "Olam," which signifies eternity, eternal, everlasting, and forever. El Olam is the God of eternity, the God of the universe, and the Ancient of Days (Daniel 7:9; Daniel 7:13; Daniel 7:22).

The First Use of El Olam
The first occurrence of the name El Olam is found in Genesis 21:32-33, where Abraham plants a tamarisk tree in Beersheba and calls on the name of the Lord as the "Everlasting God [El Olam]." This event marks the introduction of this profound name and highlights God's eternal nature, even in the early pages of the Bible.

Olam: A Word of Profound Meaning
The word "Olam" appears more than 400 times in the Old Testament, emphasizing God's eternal attributes and His unchanging nature. Scriptures reveal the depth and significance of this name:
  • A Glorious Name: In Nehemiah 9:5b, the name of El Olam is described as glorious and exalted above all blessing and praise.
  • Our Everlasting Rock: Isaiah 26:4 declares that we can trust in El Olam, the everlasting Rock, as our firm foundation.
  • Everlasting Light and Glory: Isaiah 60:19 foretells that El Olam will be our everlasting Light and glory, replacing the need for the sun and moon.
  • The True and Living God: Jeremiah 10:10a states that El Olam is the true God, the living God, and the everlasting King.
  • Timelessness: 2 Peter 3:8 provides a unique perspective, indicating that one day with El Olam is as a thousand years. Time holds a different meaning for the eternal God.
Strength in El Olam
Isaiah 40:28-31 beautifully encapsulates the strength and endurance found in El Olam. God's understanding is unsearchable, and He does not grow weary. Those who wait for Him will renew their strength, soaring like eagles.

Eternal Redemption
Hebrews 9:12 reminds us that El Olam secured eternal redemption through His own blood, emphasizing His role as the Alpha and Omega, the Beginning and the End.

The Faithfulness, Loving-kindness, Power, Righteousness, and Ways of El Olam
The Scriptures emphasize various facets of El Olam's character:
  • Faithfulness: Psalm 119:90 and Psalm 146:6 proclaim God's enduring faithfulness.
  • Loving-kindness: Verses such as Psalm 119:90 and Jeremiah 31:3 highlight His steadfast love.
  • Power: Isaiah 26:4 affirms God as an everlasting Rock; Romans 1:20 reveals His eternal power.
  • Righteousness: Psalm 119:142 underlines His righteous nature.
  • Ways: Habakkuk 3:6 speaks of His eternal ways.
El Olam is the eternal, unchanging God Whose name resounds throughout Scripture, declaring His eternal nature and unshakable character. Through faithfulness, loving-kindness, power, righteousness, and ways that are everlasting, El Olam has secured eternal redemption for all humanity. Every person who comes to a saving knowledge of El Olam, by grace through faith (Ephesians 2:8), will spend eternity with Him. As we dwell in the presence of El Olam, we find strength, hope, and a glimpse of the eternity promised to us. May we take refuge in the everlasting arms of El Olam, who remains "the same yesterday and today and forever" (Hebrews 13:8).

"El Olam is the eternal, unchanging God Whose name resounds throughout Scripture, declaring His eternal nature and unshakable character." Eternal and unshakable - a good reminder in these days we are living when all is temporal and shaking. I so appreciated this post.
