I think it's very helpful , when we read the Old Testament , to know exactly who is being referred to when the words God , or Lord etc are used . Do all these different names actually refer to different beings ? You can and should , make your own mind up . Here's what I know .
El , pronounced Ail , rendered God . Represents Power , Might Strength . The Great First Cause , Power Uncreate . The means by which the angels perform their duties and the Lord Jesus his miracles . Psalm 18 v 32 , it is El that girdeth me with strength .
Eloah , also rendered God . Signified Mighty One , who's might is derived from El . Therefore the Deity in specific manifestation . This word is used of Jesus ( who is the manifestation of the Father ) in Job 19 v 26 and in Hab 3 v 3 . Hab reference should have been translated in the future tense - "shall come " .
Names of God part one . Part two to follow soon ish .
