"El Olam is the Hebrew name for the God who has no beginning and no end, the God for whom a day is like a thousand years and a thousand years are like a day. His plans stand firm forever, plans to give you a future full of hope." (pg 51) El Olam is the everlasting God or the Eternal God.

I found it fascinating that this name of God is only used in scripture four times. Genesis 21:22-34 tells the story of Abimelech and Phicol who made a peace treaty of sorts with Abraham. Abraham named that place Beersheba because the two men had swore an oath there. Beersheba itself means "well of the oath." Abraham then planted a tamarisk tree in Beersheba. This particular type of tree is a long-living tree that requires large amounts of water and can produce as many as 500,000 seeds per plant.

"When you pray to the Everlasting God, you are praying to the God whose Son is called the Alpha and the Omega. He is the God whose love endures forever." (pg 51)
