El Elyon, God The Most High

El Elyon speaks of God as the sovereign ruler of the all the universe. El Elyon is first used in Genesis 14:18 by Melchizedek king of Salem as he blessed Abram after Abram had rescued his nephew Lot.

In Daniel 4:34-35, Nebuchadnezzar, king of Babylon acknowledged the Most High and that He has an everlasting dominion. Nebuchadnezzar said His kingdom will last from generation to generation.

We have been given a free will to choose who and what to believe. But because God is the God Most High and Sovereign over everything, His plan will always prevail in the end, whether you choose to be a part of it or not. In knowing God is sovereign rejoicing in all circumstances is less difficult.

My favorite thing here is that Nebuchadnezzar, a king who conquered Israel, acknowledged that God was the Most High and that His kingdom would last forever.

A Note from a book, "A Dictionary of Angels including the fallen angels" by Gustav Davidson, the name Elyon the book says is Phoenician. And Elyon was "an aide to Ofaniel in the 1st Heaven".
