God Loves Me Part XI

4. The Most High God = El Elyon – Genesis 14:18 or 15:7
1. Above all Gods
2. Only True God

The fourth name of God is El Elyon, the Most High God, which says that He is the highest of a series or order or like natures. There are others below Him with like natures and therefore related to Him. Since He is the Highest, He has power to rule and to turn them as He will, should they be disobedient. God had sons and man was one. Man as a son of God must be a priest because God is love, can not but sacrifice, so man, the son of God, and inheriting His nature, must also sacrifice. El Elyon reveals that Gentiles, like Canaan, through doomed to judgment here, have, in their relation to the “Most High” the pledge of sure and high blessing, even to be priests in virtue of their son ship. Possessor of heaven and earth tells that God is God over all the earth. He is able to carry out His purpose through Jews and Gentiles. The elect will be blessed and the heathen will reap judgment. All that call on Him will receive great blessings. No matter what our situation, there is hope in Him from whom we came. Through self-exaltation we lose our understanding. Through God’s rule we gain understanding. The secret of the Most High is that the Gentiles shall own His power, and the saints here in relation to the world, call the saints of the Most High shall have judgment given to them, and shall “possess the kingdom.”

El Elyon, the Most High God, is the one and only true God. There is no other God! For any man to worship anything or anyone other than the one true God is idolatry.
