GOD is called Elohim (the Eternal Creator) ~ (Genesis 1:1)

'Elohim' means 'GOD' in Hebrew. This is the first Name of God to appear in the Bible.  It expresses Him as the Eternal and Mighty One who creates all things.  The prefix 'El' means the One who is great and mighty. 


In Hebrew, 'Elohim' is grammatically plural.  This Name can then be said to signify the mystery of the Trinity (God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit), which is implied but hidden in the Old Testament, and revealed in the New Testament. 

Note:  God alone is to be acknowledged, served, and worshipped, bearing in mind the trinity of persons in the Godhead - God the Father, God the Son, and God the Holy Spirit.  There are not three Gods, but three persons in one God.  (2 Corinthians 13:14; Matthew 28:19).
