Topical Lexicon

Word Origin: Derived from πᾶς (pas, meaning "all" or "every") and κράτος (kratos, meaning "strength" or "dominion").

Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: The Greek παντοκράτωρ corresponds to the Hebrew term שַׁדַּי (Shaddai, Strong's Hebrew 7706), often translated as "Almighty" in the Old Testament. This term is used to describe God's power and might, particularly in the context of His covenant relationship with His people and His ability to protect and provide for them.

Usage: The word παντοκράτωρ is used in the New Testament to describe God as the supreme ruler and sovereign over the universe. It emphasizes His omnipotence and ultimate authority.

Context: The term παντοκράτωρ appears primarily in the New Testament, particularly in the book of Revelation, where it underscores the majesty and supreme power of God. It is used to convey the idea that God is the ultimate authority, governing all creation with unmatched power and might. This term is often associated with God's role as the Creator and Sustainer of the universe, highlighting His ability to control and direct the course of history according to His divine will.

In Revelation 1:8, God declares, "I am the Alpha and the Omega, says the Lord God, who is and was and is to come—the Almighty." Here, παντοκράτωρ is used to affirm God's eternal nature and His sovereign rule over time and existence. Similarly, in Revelation 19:6, the multitude in heaven proclaims, "Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns." This usage emphasizes the worship and reverence due to God as the all-powerful ruler.

The concept of God as παντοκράτωρ is not limited to the New Testament. It reflects a consistent biblical theme of God's omnipotence, seen throughout the Scriptures. This understanding of God as the Almighty provides believers with assurance of His control over all circumstances and His ability to fulfill His promises.
