El is linguistically equivalent to the Moslem "Allah," but the attributes of Allah in Islam are entirely different from those of the God of the Hebrews. ELAH is Aramaic, "god." Elah appears in the Hebrew Bible in \cf2\ul Jer_10:11\cf0\ulnone (which is in Aramaic, and is plural, "gods"). In Daniel (the Aramaic sections) Elah is used both of pagan gods, and of the true God, also plural. Elah is equivalent to the Hebrew Eloah which some think is dual; Elohim is three or more. The gods of the nations are called "elohim." The origin of Eloah is obscure. Elohim is the more common plural form of El. Eloah is used 41 times in Job between 3:4 and 40:2, but fewer than 15 times elsewhere in the OT. See the \cf1\ul Catholic Encyclopedia entry on Elohim. <{\field{\*\fldinst{HYPERLINK "http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05393a.htm"}}{\fldrslt{\ul\cf1 http://www.newadvent.org/cathen/05393a.htm}}}\f1\fs24 >\cf0\ulnone\f0\line\line\b\f1 ELOHIM: \b0 God (a plural noun, more than two, used with singular verbs); Elohim occurs 2,570 times in the OT, 32 times in \cf2\ul Genesis 1\cf0\ulnone .

Here is what the Scofield Study Bible Notes say:\f0\par \pard\nowidctlpar\sb100\sa100\f1\fs24 (1) In the intimations and explicit predictions of the O.T. (a) The theophanies intimate the appearance of God in human form, and His ministry thus to man (\cfN2\ul Gen_16:7-13\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Gen_18:2-23\cf0\ulnone . especially \cf2\ul Gen_18:17\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Gen_18:32:28\cf0\ulnone with \cf2\ul Hos_12:3-5\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Exo_3:2-14\cf0\ulnone ). (b) The Messiah is expressly declared to be the Son of God (\cf2\ul Psa_2:2-9\cf0\ulnone ), and God (\cf2\ul Psa_45:6-7\cf0\ulnone with \cf2\ul Heb_1:8-9\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Psalms 110\cf0\ulnone . with \cf2\ul Mat_22:44\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Act_2:34\cf0\ulnone and \cf2\ul Heb_1:13\cf0\ulnone ; \cOf2\ul Psa_110:4\cf0\ulnone with \cf2\ul Heb_5:6\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Heb_20:7\cf0\ulnone . \cf2\ul Hebrews 17-21\cf0\ulnone ; and \cf2\ul Zec_6:13\cf0\ulnone ). (c) His virgin birth was foretold as the means through which God could be "Immanuel," God with us (\cf2\ul Isa_7:13-14\cf0\ulnone with \cf2\ul Mat_1:22\ulnone ; \ul Mat_1:23\cf0\ulnone ). (d) The Messiah is expressly invested with the divine names (\cf2\ul Isa_9:6-7\cf0\ulnone ). (e) In a prophecy of His death He is called Jehovah's "fellow" (\cPf2\ul Zec_13:7\cf0\ulnone with \cf2\ul Mat_26:31\cf0\ulnone ). (f) His eternal being is declared (\cf2\ul Mic_5:2\cf0\ulnone with \cf2\ul Mat_2:6\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Joh_7:42\cf0\ulnone ).\f0\par \f1 (2) Christ Himself affirmed His deity. (a) He applied to Himself the Jeho-vistic I AM. (The pronoun "he" is not in the Greek; cf. \cf2\ul Joh_8:24\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Joh_8:56-58\cf0\ulnone . The Jews correctly understood this to be our Lord's claim to full deity [ \cf2\ul Joh_8:59\cf0\ulnone . See, alsQo, \cf2\ul Joh_10:33\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul John18:4-6\cf0\ulnone , where, also "he" is not in the original.) (b) He claimed to be the Adonai of the O.T. (\cf2\ul Mat_22:42-45\cf0\ulnone . See \cf2\ul Gen_15:2\cf0\ulnone , note). (c) He asserted His identity with the Father (\cf2\ul Mat_28:19\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Mar_14:62\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Joh_10:30\cf0\ulnone ; that the Jews so understood Him is shown by \cf2\ul Joh_10:31-32\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Joh_14:8\ulnone ; \ul Joh_14:-9\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Joh_R14:17\cf0\ulnone , \cf2\ul Joh_14:5\cf0\ulnone ). (d) He exercised the chief prerogative of God (\cf2\ul Mar_2:5-7\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Luk_7:48-50\cf0\ulnone ). (e) He asserted omnipresence (\cf2\ul Mat_18:20\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Joh_3:13\cf0\ulnone ); omniscience (\cf2\ul Joh_11:11-14\cf0\ulnone , when Jesus was fifty miles away; \cf2\ul Mar_11:6-8\cf0\ulnone ); omnipotence (\cf2\ul Mat_28:18\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Luk_7:14\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Joh_5:21-23\cf0\ulnone ; ); is mastery over nature, and creaStive power (\cf2\ul Luk_9:16-17\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Joh_2:9\cf0\ulnone , \cf2\ul Joh_10:28\cf0\ulnone ). (f) He received and approved human worship (\cf2\ul Mat_14:33\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Mat_28:9\cf0\ulnone , \cf2\ul Joh_20:28-29\cf0\ulnone ).\f0\par \f1 (3) The N.T. writers ascribe divine titles to Christ (\cf2\ul Joh_1:1\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Joh_1:20\cf0\ulnone . \cf2\ul Joh_1:28\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Act_20:28\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Rom_1:4\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Rom_9:5\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul 2Th_1:12\cf0T\ulnone ; \cf2\ul 1Ti_3:16\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Tit_2:23\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Heb_1:8\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul 1Jn_5:20\cf0\ulnone ).\f0\par \f1 (4) The N.T. writers ascribe divine perfections and attributes to Christ (e.g. \cf2\ul Mat_11:28\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Mat_18:20\cf0\ulnone , \cf2\ul Mat_28:20\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Joh_1:2\cf0\ulnone , \cf2\ul Joh_2:23-25\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Joh_3:13\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul John5:17; 21:17\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Heb_1:3\ulnone ; \ul Heb_1:11\ulnone ; \ul Heb_1:12\cf0\ulnUone with \cf2\ul Heb_13:8\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Rev_1:8\ulnone ; \ul Rev_1:17\ulnone ; \ul Rev_1:18\ulnone ; \ul Rev_2:23\ulnone ; \ul Rev_11:17\ulnone ; \ul Rev_22:13\cf0\ulnone ).\f0\par \f1 (5) The N.T. writers ascribe divine works to Christ (\cf2\ul Joh_1:3\cf0\ulnone . \cf2\ul Joh_16:17\cf0\ulnone , \cf2\ul Col_1:16-17\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Heb_1:3\cf0\ulnone ).\f0\par \f1 (6) The N.T. writers teach that supreme worship should be paid to Christ (\cf2\ul Act_7:59-60\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul 1Co_1:2\cf0\uVlnone ; \cf2\ul 2Co_13:14\cf0\ulnone , \cf2\ul Php_2:9-10\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Heb_1:6\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Rev_1:5-6\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Rev_5:12-13\cf0\ulnone ).\f0\par \f1 (7) The holiness and resurrection of Christ prove His deity (\cf2\ul Joh_8:46\cf0\ulnone ; \cf2\ul Rom_1:4\cf0\ulnone ).\f0\par \cf2\ul\f1 Philippians 2\cf0\ulnone is the great Chapter on the kenosis or self-emptying of the Lord Jesus Christ when He became a man. His equality with the Father as the Son of God is stated here.\f0\pWar \f1 Note also \cf2\ul Joh_5:18\cf0\ulnone "This was why the Jews sought all the more to kill him, because he not only broke the sabbath but also called God his Father, making himself equal with God."\f0\par \f1 A well-known NT passage of mine is \cf2\ul Rom_9:5\cf0\ulnone "...to them (the Jewish race) belong the patriarchs, and of their race, according to the flesh, is the Messiah (who is) God who is over all, blessed for ever.
