Biblical Teaching on LORD

LORD (capitalized entire word) is the Hebrew word ELOHIM.

ELOHIM   had been used over 2,500 times in the O.T. and means; 'Be Strong' or 'In Front'. It is usually printed as 'LORD' (small capitals) when referring to the true God, or when referring to men it is printed in non-capitals. It is also sometimes printed as God, or god.  In the Hebrew this word is plural in form, but singular in construction. Because of its plural form, it has been used as an argument to vouch for God's triunity. However it is incorrect to use it this way.  The plural is due to a Hebrew idiom use of a 'plural of magnitude or majesty.' It is like underlining, or repeating a word in order to emphasise it. The word gives an emphasis of importance. It has a similar meaning to the Greek word, 'Theos', which means 'A god or Deity' as used in the New Testament and translated as 'Lord.'  Elohim is used not just for the true God, as in Gen.1:1---Ex.6:3.---Ps.83:18.---Isa.12:2. ; 26:4, but is also used for; Heathen gods; Ex.19: 11.--Angels; Ps.8: 5.-Judges; Ex.21: 6. The word denotes respect or submission to any in a position of power or authority, be they God, angel, or man.-The word Lord is used in a similar way in our society today, as a word of respect in the Judiciary, and in English aristocracy.
