Hypsistos — The Most High

עֶלְיוֹן

Hypsistos — pronounced HOOP-sis-toss · appears ~9 (of God, NT) times · Strong's G5310

The Most High — El Elyon in Greek dress, clustered around the nativity.

Melchizedek's ancient title resurfaces at Nazareth — the Most High overshadowing a Galilean girl. Both traditions hear the continuity: the God above all powers stooping lowest of all.

Luke 1:32 — 'He will be called the Son of the Most High'

Key passages

Luke 1:35 — 'The power of the Most High will overshadow you'

Luke 6:35 — 'You will be sons of the Most High'
