Enforcement

Bible references

Genesis 14:17-22 Psalms 78:35 Daniel 4:34 Acts 16:17.

Commentary

Melchizedek, king of Salem and priest of the most high God, referred to God twice as "El Elyon". Apparently, Melchizedek was Canaanite, as he lived among them as their king and he does not seem to have known God as ELOHIM, or YAHWEH, or EL SHADDAI. Melchizedek knew EL ELYON, the most high God. When this name appears in the Scripture it shows us his relationship with the creation, indicating that God is above all this created. EL ELYON is the God of gods, the Lord of lords and the King of kings.

Names of Jesus

WONDERFUL COUNSELOR

Meaning

Jesus is our defense attorney.

Explication

Christ is our wonderful counselor before God. He is our mediator and intercessor, who calms us down and advices us. As our lawyer before God, He defends us in the court of justice of God, and he offers himself as payment for our transgressions. Christ himself is therefore identified as that “wonder” because we could say that Christ is “the wonder of God in person”. Not only is Christ the greatest "Wonder of God" but He is the one who has done and would do "Wonders" in his people. A counselor is someone who guides others by warning or exhortation. Christ said about himself, “my words are Spirit and are Life”. He also said, “Everyone then who hears these words of mine and acts on them, will be like a wise man who built his house on the rock” (Matthew 7). So, why not to think of Christ as that “wonderful counselor” as stated by the apostle Peter when he said, “you alone have the words of eternal life”.

Bible references
