Elohim God: The Father and Mother of Our Spirits.
ElohimFrom Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
This article is about the Hebrew word. For other uses, see Elohim (disambiguation).
Elohim (אֱלהִים) is a Hebrew word which expresses concepts of divinity or deity, notably used as a name of God in Judaism. It is apparently related to the Northwest Semitic word ʾēl “god”. Within Hebrew, it is morphologically a plural, in use both as a true plural with the meaning “angels, gods, rulers” and as a “plural intensive” with singular meaning, referring to a god or goddess, and especially to the single God of Israel. The associated singular Eloah (אלוה) occurs only in poetry and in late Biblical Hebrew, in imitation of Aramaic usage.
In the Torah, the word sometimes acts as a singular noun in Hebrew grammar, and is then generally understood to denote the single God of Israel, while in other cases, it acts as an ordinary plural and refers to the polytheistic notion of multiple gods. The notion of divinity underwent radical changes throughout the period of early Israeliteidentity. The ambiguity of the term Elohim is the result of such changes, cast in terms of “vertical translatability” by Smith (2008), i.e. the re-interpretation of the gods of the earliest recalled period as the national god of the monolatrism as it emerged  in the 7th to 6th century BC in the Kingdom of Judah and during the Babylonian captivity, and further in terms of monotheism by the emergence of Rabbinical Judaism in the 2nd century AD.

EtymologyFurther information: El (deity), Elohim (Ugarit), Ilah, and Allah
The term is clearly related to Northwest Semitic ʾēl “god”, but it contains the addition of the heh as third radical to the biconsonantal root. Discussions of the etymology ofelohim essentially concern this expansion. An exact cognate outside of Hebrew is found in Ugaritic ʾlhm, the family of El, the creator god and chief deity of the Canaanite pantheon, and in Arabic ʾilāh “god, deity”. Eloah (the extended root ʾlh) does not have any clear etymology. The word ʾel itself is usually derived from a root meaning “to be strong”. Joel Hoffman derives it from the common Canaanite wordelim, with the mater lectionis heh inserted to distinguish the Israelite God from other gods. He argues that elohim thus patterns with Abram/Abraham and Sarai/Sarah.
It is important to take note of this pattern, because the Bible speaks about Abraham and Sarah to pattern, reflect, or serve as a shadow to God Elohim. Through the Bible, all things testify to Christ and the existance of God the Father and God the Mother. Then, let’s see in the next blog evidence proving Elohim Father and Mother through the history and prophecy of Abraham and Sarah.
