PANTOKRATOR
American: all-ruling,
almighty, omnipotent
The
eminence of our Father God, Theos, is beyond description. That He has created
all that exists through of our Lord and Savior Jesus the Christos, is easily
said or written, but impossible to imagine. That He is both willing (boulema)
and capable of simultaneously engaging in conversation with EVERY human alive,
anywhere in His universe, is both TRUE and yet staggering!

2nd Corinthians
6.14: Don’t be caused to be unequally yoked with
apistois [those without faith] for what fellowship have dikaiosune [equity,
justification, rightness] and lawlessness? What koinonia [sharing,
partnership] has light with
shadiness? What agreement has the
Christo [Anointed One, Messiah, Christ] with Belial [“Worthlessness”, “Satan”]? or what
share has one who pisto [has
faith, has reliance] with one apistou [without faith]? What vow [contract]
has a temple of Theos with
eidoloi [images for worship, idols]? For you are a temple of a living
Theos, even as Theos said,
“I will inhabit them, and I will walk among them, and I will be their Theos [God],
and they shall be to Me a people.”
LEVITICUS
26.12: [YHWH speaking] “I will give [put] my residence in your
midst and My nephesh [psuche: soul, life, psyche, ego] shan’t detest
you. I shall always walk in your
midst and shall be to you for Elohiym [Triune God?] and you shall be to
Me for a people. I AM YHWH [Jehovah, Jahway – the name of Father God], Your Elohiym...”
EXODUS
29.45: [YHWH speaking] “I will reside amidst the sons of Israel. I will
be to them Elohiym and they shall know that I AM YHWH, their Elohiym …”
EZEKIEL
37.27: [YHWH speaking] “… and I will give My sanctuary in their midst
forever and My residence with them. I will be to them for Elohiym, and they
shall be to Me for a people.”
[Paul
again speaking]
“Therefore, come forth emergent from the middle of them and be separated,” says
the Kurios [Lord, Master], “and do
not attach yourselves to
the impure and I will receive you and I will be to you for a Father, and you
will be to Me for sons and daughters,”
says
the Kurios pantokrator.
ISAIAH
52.11: [YHWH speaking] “Turn off! Turn off! Go out from there! Not touch
the foul! Go out from her midst! Distance yourself! Arise, the prepared of YHWH
and I will take you into My favor and I will be to you a Father and you will be
to Me for sons and daughters.”
HOSEA
2.1: [YHWH speaking] “… it shall be said to them, ‘Sons of the living El
[God].’”
Revelation
1.4: From John to the seven
ekklesiais [assemblies, churches] in Asia Minor:
Charis
[Graciousness] to you and peace from the One Who was and is coming and from the seven Hagios [holy, sacred] Pneumaton [Spirits] Who are in the
face of [before] His throne and from Jesus the Christou, the pistos [trustworthy,
faithful] Witness, the Firstborn emergent from the dead and the Chief of
the kings of the earth. To the One
agapesanti [unconditionally loving] us and having bathed us from our
hamartion [misses of the mark or goal; errors, offenses, sins] in His
blood and having made us kings and
priests to His Theos and Father; to Him is
the glory and the kratos [vigor, power] to the ages of the ages. Amen!
LO! He comes amidst the
cloudiness and every eye will gaze (with wide open eyes) upon the Same and [as
well as] those who nailed the Same and all the offshoots [cultures]
of the earth will chop [pound the breast in grief] over the Same. Yes!
Amen!
Revelation
1.8: “I AM the Alpha and the Omega: I AM the First and the Last!” says the pantokrator Kurios, “the One BEING and Who
was and Who is coming.”
Revelation 4.2: And directly I was caused to be in the Hagios Pneuma and LO! a Throne (there in Ourano [Heaven]) and One sitting upon the Throne. And He was
similar in appearance to a gemstone; jasper [“Glittering” or “Lord of the Treasure” – Scholars
posit it is the rare green form of jasper.] and a sardius [better
known in our day as carnelian, called blood stone by the ancients] and there was an iris [rainbow]
around the Throne, similar in appearance to a smaragdino [an emerald].
And encircling the Throne I saw the
twenty-four thrones and sitting down upon the thrones, I saw twenty-four elders
(having been clothed in white garments) and they had crowns of gold upon their
heads. And emergent from the Throne came forth lightnings and thunders
and phonai [sounds, tones, noises,
voices].
And seven lamps of fire were burning in the face of [before] the Throne
Who were the seven Hagios Pneumata [Spirits]
of Theos. And before the Throne is
a glass-like sea like ice. And in the middle with the Throne and encircling the Throne are four living beings
full of eyes, front and back. And the first living being is like a lion and the second living being is like a young bull and the third living being is having a face just as a man and the fourth living being is like a flying eagle. And the
four living beings are individually having six wings (around
the outside of their bodies) and (from inside) being full of eyes and they haven't
intermission [breaks], day and night saying, “Hagios! Hagios! Hagios
is Kurios Theos! the pantokrator
One! The One Who was and Who IS and Who is coming.”
Revelation
11.15: And the seventh aggelos [messenger, angel] trumpeted. And there
were caused to be megalai [big, large, huge, great] phonai in Ourano, saying, “The kingdoms of the
kosmou [world, universe, cosmos] are caused to be those of our Kuriou
and of His Christou and He shall reign to the ages of the ages.” And
the twenty-four elders (sitting down upon their thrones in the face of Theos)
fell down upon their faces and prosekunesan [worshipped, as a dog licks his master's hand] Theos, saying, “We
thank You, Kurie Theos, pantokrator, the One BEING and the One Who is
coming because You took Your megalen dunamin [force, power] and reigned
and the ethne [nations, races,
non-Jews, gentiles] were
provoked/enraged. And Your orge [violent passion, fury, rage, wrath] came
and came the occasion of the dead
krithenai [to be judged, to be put on trial] and the occasion to give wages to Your slaves: to the prophetais [before-tellers,
prophets] and to the hagios [holy, sacred, consecrated ones; saints] and to those fearing
Your name (to the mikros [small, little, tiny, micro] and to the megalois) and to thoroughly
rot those thoroughly rotting the earth.”
Revelation
15.2: And I saw like a glassy [transparent] sea having been mixed with
fire. And those subduing (emergent from the beast and from the eikonos [image, likeness, statue, icon] of the same and
emergent from the charagma [scratch, etching, tattoo, scar, mark] of the same and
emergent from the number of the name of the same) were standing upon the
glassy sea having lyres of Theos. And they sing the song [Hebrew
cantillation] of Moses (the slave of Theos) and the song of the Lamb,
saying, “Megala
and wonderful are Your works, Kurie, pantokrator Theos. Dikaiai [equitable, just, right] and truthful are Your
ways, Sovereign of the Hagion. Who won't fear You? Kurie and glorify Your name
because only You are inherently right
that all the ethne will arrive and proskunesousin in Your face because Your
dikaiomata [equity, justification,
rightness] was
rendered apparent.”
Revelation
16.4: And the third aggelos poured out his bowl upon the rivers and upon the
springs of waters and they were caused to be blood and I heard the aggelou of
the waters saying,
“Dikaios
Kurie! YOU ARE He being, Who was and Who will be! because You judged these that
poured out the blood of hagion [saints] and propheton [prophets].
You gave them blood to drink, for they are deserving of this. And I heard another phone emergent from the altar,
saying,
“Yes! Kurie! pantokrator
Theos! truthful and dikaiai are Your kriseis
[accusation, condemnation, judgment].”
Revelation16.8:
And the fourth aggelos poured out his bowl upon the sun and it was given to it
to burn the men in fire and the men were burned by mega fire and they eblasphemesan [spoke irreverently of, profaned; blasphemed] the Name of Theos, the One having authority over these strokes and they not metenoesan [thought differently, turned about 180 degrees,
repented] to give Him glory.
Revelation
19.5: And a phone (emergent from the throng) issued forth, saying,
“Hallel
[Praise] our Theos! all His slaves and all those fearing Him; both the mikroi and the megaloi.”
And
I heard (as it were) a phonen of much water and (as it were) a phonen of mighty
thunders, saying,
“Hallel u Yah [Praise
to Yahweh]! because the pantokrator Kurios, Theos, reigned! Let us
rejoice! Let us rejoice and exult and we will give the glory to Him because the
wedding of the Lamb came and His gune [wife; the Christian church] prepared
herself.
Revelation
19.11: And I saw Ouranon having been opened and LO! a white horse and the one
sitting down upon the same being called “Pistos
and Truthful”! And in dikaiosune, He krinei [determines, judges, puts on
trial] and engages in warfare. But His eyes were like a flash of fire and
upon His head were many diadema [crowns,
diadems] having a name having been written which not even one person knows (except Him) and being
clothed with a garment having been immersed in blood and His name is called: “The Logos [Word] of
Theos”!
And the armies (in Ourano) accompanied Him upon white horses; each having been clothed with clean,
white linen. And emergent from His mouth goes forth a keen saber [cavalry
sword] in order that with the same He may strike the ethne, and He will
tend [shepherd] the same with a scepter of iron. And He tramples the grapes trough of the wine of the thumou [passion, anger, indignation] and of the orges [violent
passion, fury, rage, wrath] of the pantokrator Theos. And He has a
name having been written upon His garment and upon His thigh: “SOVEREIGN OF SOVEREIGNS and KURIOS OF
KURION”!
