5 Surprising Names of God in the Bible You Might Not Know

We often call on God as ‘Father’ or ‘Lord,’ but have you ever felt a desire to know Him on a deeper, more personal level? Exploring the different names of God in the bible is a powerful way to enrich your understanding of His multifaceted nature. Let these surprising names draw you into a more intimate relationship with the Creator who adores you.

1. El Roi (The God Who Sees Me)

In moments of despair, loneliness, or when you feel completely invisible, the name El Roi is a profound comfort. This name was first spoken by Hagar, an Egyptian slave, after she fled into the desert from her mistress, Sarai. Pregnant, alone, and cast out, she was met by the angel of the Lord who offered her comfort and a promise. In her overwhelming gratitude, she declared a new name for God—one who saw her in her affliction.

“She gave this name to the Lord who spoke to her: ‘You are the God who sees me,’ for she said, ‘I have now seen the One who sees me.’” – Genesis 16:13 (NIV)

When you feel overlooked by the world, remember El Roi. He sees your hidden tears, hears your silent prayers, and knows the deepest struggles of your heart. You are never truly alone because the God who sees you is always watching over you with love and compassion. This truth is a constant reminder that God cares for you, even when you feel unseen.

2. Jehovah-Sabaoth: One of the Most Powerful Names of God in the Bible

Translated as “The Lord of Hosts” or “The Lord of Armies,” Jehovah-Sabaoth reveals God as the commander of all the hosts of heaven. This isn’t just about earthly armies; it refers to the countless, mighty angels at His command. This name emphasizes God’s supreme power, sovereignty, and authority over everything in the universe, both seen and unseen. When Hannah prayed desperately for a son, she called on Jehovah-Sabaoth, appealing to the one with the power to do the impossible.

“The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our fortress.” – Psalm 46:7 (ESV)

Are you facing a battle that seems insurmountable? Call on Jehovah-Sabaoth. Whether it’s a struggle with sin, a financial crisis, or a relational conflict, the Lord of Armies is fighting for you. He commands legions of angels and has ultimate authority over every principality and power. When you feel overwhelmed, remember that the all-powerful commander of the universe is on your side, proving that God is in control.

3. Esh Oklah (A Consuming Fire)

While we often focus on God’s love and mercy, names like Esh Oklah remind us of His holiness, purity, and righteous judgment. This name, which means “A Consuming Fire,” is a powerful and sobering depiction of God’s nature. It speaks to His intense passion for His people and His intolerance for sin and idolatry. Like a refiner’s fire, He burns away the impurities in our lives so that we can be made holy and pure in His sight.

“For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God.” – Deuteronomy 4:24 (NIV)

This name is not meant to inspire fear in a negative way, but rather a deep, reverential awe. It challenges us to examine our hearts and turn away from anything that displeases Him. It’s a call to holiness and a reminder that we serve a mighty and powerful God who is worthy of our complete devotion. He is the one who refines us, and we must learn to stop battling God and allow His fire to purify us.

4. El Olam (The Everlasting God)

In a world that is constantly changing, where trends fade and promises are broken, El Olam is our anchor. This name means “The Everlasting God,” “The Eternal God,” or “The God of Ages.” It speaks to His unchanging nature—He is the same yesterday, today, and forever. Abraham called upon God as El Olam after making a covenant with Abimelech, acknowledging that God’s promises and character are not bound by time. He is the beginning and the end.

“Have you not known? Have you not heard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of the earth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable.” – Isaiah 40:28 (ESV)

When your future feels uncertain or you grow weary from life’s long journey, find rest in El Olam. He is not a fleeting feeling or a temporary fix. He is the eternal, steadfast Creator who existed before time and will exist after it. His plans are perfect, His strength never fails, and His love for you is everlasting. You can confidently trust in the promises of God because the one who made them is eternal.

5. Attiq Yomin (The Ancient of Days)

This beautiful, poetic name for God appears in the book of Daniel. Attiq Yomin, or “The Ancient of Days,” paints a picture of God seated on His throne in majesty, wisdom, and eternal authority. His hair is white like wool, symbolizing His timeless wisdom and purity. This name conveys a sense of ultimate reverence and sovereignty. He is the supreme judge, the ancient ruler to whom all other kings and kingdoms will one day bow.

“As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames; its wheels were burning fire.” – Daniel 7:9 (ESV)

When the world seems chaotic and human leaders fail, remember that Attiq Yomin is on the throne. He is the ultimate authority, the wise and righteous judge who has overseen all of human history. Nothing surprises Him, and His rule is absolute and eternal. This knowledge should lead us to a place of deep respect and worship, embracing the truth found in Bible verses about humbleness before our eternal King.

Conclusion

Getting to know God on a deeper level is an endless, wonderful journey. Each name reveals another brilliant facet of His character—the comforting presence of El Roi, the mighty power of Jehovah-Sabaoth, the purifying holiness of Esh Oklah, the eternal nature of El Olam, and the supreme authority of Attiq Yomin. By studying these and other names of God in the bible, we open our hearts to a richer, more intimate understanding of who He is and how much He loves us.
