EL ELYON: The Most High God. This name emphasizes God’s strength, sovereignty, and supremacy. In Genesis 14:20, Melchizedek said to Abram, “blessed be God Most High, who has delivered your enemies into your hand!” He understood that the Lord is extremely exalted. Let us say as the Psalmist did— “I cry out to the Most High Elohim, To El who is perfecting all matters for me” (Psalm 57:2).
