Pantokrator (The Almighty)

There are but few occasions where this title is used in the New Testament. It is the English equivalent of the Greek pantokrator and the Hebrew Shaddai. Whenever it occurs it is rendered either Almighty or Omnipotent. It is found in the following passages:

2 Cor. vi. 18.
Rev. i. 8; iv. 8; xi. 17; xv. 3; xvi. 7, 14; xix. 6, 15; xxi. 22.

A reference to what has been written on another page in relation to the Hebrew Shaddai will enable its meaning to be ascertained, so that further comment will not be necessary.
