Hebrew · EL ha-gah-DOLE
El-HaGadol
אֵל הַגָּדוֹל
The Great God — greater than every god and every giant
Symbol: The crown above every throne — none can compare
“For the LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, the great God, mighty and awesome.”
Deuteronomy 10:17
Moses' title for God as utterly supreme — no idol, empire or enemy ranks anywhere near Him.
What the name means
Greatness in Scripture is measured by what one does for the least — and El-HaGadol defends the orphan and widow.
This name shrinks every 'too big' problem back down to size before the Great God.
Worship enlarges your view of God and every fear shrinks in proportion.
How to pray this name
- Magnify Him deliberately: list what is troubling you, then declare Him greater than each.
- Pray it against idolatry of every kind — He is God of gods.
El-HaGadol, great God, be magnified over every giant in my life. There is none like You. In the Mighty Name of Jesus! Amen.
Declaration
My God is great above every god — nothing in my life is too hard for Him.
