(Yesterday's post didn't . . . post! So here it is.)
God is El-Olam. Remember, El is kind of a title, a "Mr." or "Lord" that will come before a name. El - mighty, strong, permanent - is meant to solidify the rest of the name.
Olam means world, or universe. It can also mean everlasting time or space. WOW. Mighty God - strong and permanent, over the whole vastness of time and space. Put these two words together in Hebrew, and you'll find a meaning of "Everlasting God."
Again, it just doesn't seem descriptive enough, you know? EVERLASTING. You can only be everlasting when you control the sands of time ("Like sands through the hourglass...."). You can only be everlasting when time has no hold on you. You can only be everlasting when you are bigger than the universe as it is known.
Yup, that's our God!
