THE MOST HIGH GOD OF THE BIBLE
email inquiries to: dave@themosthighgod.com
The Most High God of the Bible created the heavens, the earth, and all life. This God made Himself known to the human race by communicating to many Hebrew prophets through direct encounters, through visions, through prayer and through supernatural events. These prophets in turn, spoke God’s message to their respective audiences, and some prophets were authors of the books in the Bible. This same God who spoke through the prophets of the Old Testament (Hebrew Tanakh ), spoke through Jesus the Christ and his apostles in the New Testament.
One of the earliest names used to describe this Creator-God was “The Most High God.” It was used by both Abraham and Melchizedek circa 2000 BCE. Both of them were surrounded at that time by the polytheistic regional gods and goddesses of the Mesopotamian and Chaldean people groups, and the term, The Most High God, was a contrasting witness to the One, True, Creator-God who had revealed Himself to each of them.
Later, during the time of Moses, this same God revealed and identified Himself with the names: “I Am the I Am,” “YHWH,” “The God of Abraham-Isaac-and Jacob,” And to later prophets, God used many names that describe His essence: “I am the Beginning and the End,” I am the Rock,” “I am the Lord, there is no other”,” “I am the Maker of All things,” “The Holy One of Israel.” “I am the Lord your God.”
