El Gibbor
El Gibbor means "The Mighty God" and He is most definitely mighty. How many beings do you know that can create something from nothing, existence from word, or even man from dust? Our God is a God of strength, uplifting and protecting the weak and poor, yet punishing and destroying the sinful and immoral.
We can see in Isaiah 9:6 that God, specifically the saviour to come, Jesus, is called Mighty God. Why? For He shall destroy the link between sin and death and defeat sin and Satan. The former has already happened - Christ's sacrifice on the cross - and the latter will be finished at the end of time. This mighty God has has made it possible for us poor, broken sinners, to finally have a means to be restored to a right relationship with God.
We can see other instanced of God's might: Jesus calming the storm, Jesus casting a demon into a flock of pigs, or even the Holy spirit freeing Peter and John from prison. We serve a Holy, Mighty God
