Berean Strong's Lexicon pantokratór: Almighty, All-Powerful Original Word: παντοκράτωρ Word Origin: From πᾶς (pas, meaning "all") and κράτος (kratos, meaning "strength" or "dominion") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: - H7706 שַׁדַּי (Shaddai) - Often translated as "Almighty" in the Old Testament, used to describe God's all-sufficient power. - H136 אֲדֹנָי (Adonai) - Translated as "Lord," emphasizing God's sovereign authority. Usage: The term "pantokratór" is used to describe God as the Almighty, emphasizing His supreme power and authority over all creation. It conveys the idea of God's omnipotence and His sovereign rule over the universe. In the New Testament, it is often used to highlight God's ultimate control and His ability to accomplish His will without hindrance. Cultural and Historical Background: In the Greco-Roman world, the concept of a supreme deity with ultimate power was not uncommon. However, the Christian understanding of God as "pantokratór" was distinct in its monotheistic context, affirming that there is only one true God who holds all power. This was a significant declaration in a polytheistic society, where many gods were believed to have limited and specific domains of influence.
