Meaning and Derivation: El is another name that is translated as God and can be used in conjunction with other words to designate various aspects of God's character. Olam derives from the root word 'lm (which means eternity). Olam literally means forever, eternity, or everlasting. When the two words are combined - El Olam - it can be translated as The Eternal God.

May we establish, nurture, and grow a sincere love for the word of God, and study it lovingly & faithfully.

I pray you receive this with the love intended, and apply it to wisdom.


Love you much.

P.S- If you have not given your life to Jesus Christ, I implore you to take the time to do so right now. Use John 3:16 & Romans 10:9-10 as a foundation for making your confession of faith. And use Ephesians 2:1-10 to provide proper context for your salvation.
