Who is God? This is a question many people have often asked from ancient times and even to present day. Before any organised religion or science, mankind had always wondered about their existence and how the world they inhabited came into existence. With these thoughts came questions and arguments for and the existence of a Being, Deity or God. Early man wondered if there was a Supreme Being, or a Creator Who created mankind and everything else on earth and the universe as they knew or imagined it to be; an Almighty God who controlled and ordered the very being and destiny of man. Thus, early man started religion, mainly Polytheism and Monotheism, to explain the mysteries and phenomena of life which he could not understand because of his very limited knowledge of Who God was. Adherents of both beliefs, excluding Christianity however, believed this Almighty God was too powerful and too far removed from mankind hence could not be known personally or intimately. Men then began to attribute names and titles to God. The many names of God in the Bible and the Torah hold a revelation of Who God is, His nature and attributes.

Through these names, we become aware of His love and plans for us; His names or titles help us to better understand Him and to communicate and fellowship with Him better and more intimately.
