The meaning of Almighty in the Bible
(From International Standard Bible Encyclopedia)
ol-mit'-i: (1) (shaddai (Genesis 17:1)): Found in the Old Testament forty-eight times, most of these in the Book of Job; it occurs either alone or in combination with 'el, "God"). The root meaning is uncertain. (2) (pantokrator), the exclusive translation of this Greek word in the New Testament, found principally in Rev. (nine times), once besides (II Corinthians 6:18). Its occurrence in the Apocrypha is frequent.
