"El Elyon" Dance

Insert from the church bulletin:

The dance team thanks God for Steve Wolfe's obedience to the Lord by suggesting "El Elyon" for Resurrection Sunday. The names of the Lord in this song are included in the bulletin. We pray that our interpretation of El Elyon ministers to you & to the One Who inspired it. The dance symbolizes that in the beginning, the earth (us) was without form. Then the Spirit of God awakened us (white flags at the beginning) & His Light shone upon us so that our eyes opened to see who He is in us. We rejoice today in the revelation that He chose us before the foundation of the world & has judged us to be holy & blameless. Why? Because He loves us! He loves YOU!! Everything in the dance is symbolic of that love & the restoration & transformation that take place in His people because of it. We are responsible for bringing Heaven to earth. It is the blood of Jesus shed on the cross that gives us that right & responsibility. The circles around the banners are symbolic of how He spreads us out into the world bearing His name so those who are lost are found in Him. The little girls represent our child-like faith as well as us growing up unto the Lord. We carry that child-like faith with us as we mature. All this for the Glory of God!!

El Elyon means "Most High God". It affirms a great truth that our God is the Ruler, the Creator, and the Sustainer of the heavens and the earth. He is the Master, and the Creator, and the Possessor of the Universe.

Elohim is the Hebrew word for God as the Creator and Judge of the Universe. It means to be strong or be in front, which suits the power and preeminence of God. It is in the plural form bus used in the original language with a singular verb or adjective. This indicates the idea of a plural magnitude or majesty when used in reference to the one true God.

El Shaddai is the Judaic name for God and is normally translated as "God Almighty". El points to the power of God Himself. Shaddai seems to be derived from another word meaning breast, which implies that Shaddai signifies one who nourishes, supplies, and satisfies. It is God as El who helps, but it is God as Shaddai who abundantly blesses with all manner of blessings.

Yeshua is the Hebrew or Armanic name for "Jesus." However, it is interesting that it is also used to describe the Second Temple Period and Jesus is the second person of the Trinity.

Adonai is Hebrew for "Lord". It signifies ownership or mastership and indicates the truth that God is the owner of each member of the human family, and that He consequently claims the unrestricted obedience of all.
