Pantokrator — The Almighty

שַׁדַּי / צְבָאוֹת

Pantokrator — pronounced pan-toh-KRAH-tor · appears 10 (9 in Revelation) times · Strong's G3841

The All-Ruler, the Almighty — the LXX's rendering of Shaddai and Tzva'ot; Revelation's dominant divine name.

Eastern Christian domes crown their ceilings with Christ Pantokrator; the word itself is Shaddai and Tzva'ot wearing Greek. Revelation reserves it for the throne — the name sung when history's outcome is no longer in doubt.

First occurrence

2Cor 6:18 — 'Says the Lord Pantokrator' (quoting the prophets)

Key passages

Rev 1:8 — 'The Alpha and the Omega… the Almighty'

Rev 4:8 — 'Holy, holy, holy, Lord God Almighty'

Rev 19:6 — 'The Lord our God the Almighty reigns'

In the Greek Scriptures
