In Recognition of The Breasted One: “El Shaddai”— To my daughter, Vanessa-

The Mother Spirit that is God -That Almighty Name

El Shaddai "The Breasted One"

Shaddai meaning breasts

 

The root "shad" (שד) means "breast".[12] If this is the origin of the term, then El Shaddai would likely mean "Many Breasted One". In Exodus, God gave Moses the name "El Shaddai" as well as the additional name "YHWH" for Moses to know God by. (Bible study tools)

 

"Jacob's blessing given in Genesis 49:25, however, indicates that Shaddai might be related to the word for breasts (shadaim), indicating sufficiency and nourishment (i.e., "blessings of the breasts and of the womb" (בִּרְכת שָׁדַיִם וָרָחַם)). In this case, the Name might derive from the contraction of sha ("who") and dai ("enough") to indicate God's complete sufficiency to nurture the fledgling nation into fruitfulness. Indeed, God first uses this Name when He refers to multiplying Abraham's offspring (Gen. 17:2). (Hebrew /Christians)

 

"Some Bible scholars have said that, Shaddai is from the Hebrew root word, “Shad” meaning “breast”. In addition to El Shaddai speaking of God as being almighty, El Shaddai also speaks to His ability to nurture and satisfy. These scholars say that the name speaks to God as being nourishing, satisfying and supplying all our needs as a mother would her child.

 

Even though “Almighty God” is the more common translation, God is in addition to being almighty also nurturing and sustaining. We see this all throughout the Old Testament." (from Wikipedia)

 

God said, Let "Us" make man in Our own image, Gen. 1 Verses 26 to 31

[26] And God said, Let Us make man in Our image, after Our likeness 27 So God created man in His own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created He them.

 

I feel which I wrote in my book “The Rising and Falling of Babylon,” that if we can see that God is Mother and Father we will come not only into a higher level of consciousness, but it is also part of being made whole.

 

From my daughter Vanessa: Awesome explanation and insight!

From my granddaughter Jasmine: Wow how illuminating

From my grandson Isaiah: I agreed with it moms are nurturers
