God of Destroyers

As with the case of Adonai, Shaddai is also originally a plural word. There has been some debate over the centuries as to whether shaddai (#7706) really is derived from the Hebrew root shadad (#7703), to deal violently with, despoil, devastate. Fuerst and Gesenius affirm this however, as do the LXX, Vulgate, and Syriac versions. Incidentally, the prophet Isaiah does too,

Howl you all, for near is the Day of Yahweh, as destruction from the destroyers he is coming. Isaiah 13:6 literal

And Joel also,

Aha for the Day! For near is the day of Yahweh, and as destruction from the destroyers he is coming. Joel 1:15 literal

Like it or not, as destruction from the destroyers is the superior translation given that the Hebrew is כשד משדי‬, ki-shod mi-shaddai. This shouldn’t be surprising given that the Christ is an el-gibbor, god of might, or warrior-god according to Isaiah 9:6. He is coming to make war, with his chosen army of fearless volunteers.‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬‬

These ones will wage war in company with the Lamb, and the Lamb will conquer themselves, because he is a master of masters, and he is a king of kings, and the ones in company with himself, summoned ones and selected ones and trustworthy ones.

Hebrew היה תמים, be complete/perfect? Christ's words were not about doing but becoming... It doesn’t make sense to say “doing complete/perfect”, but we can conceive of becoming complete. But what does it mean to become complete? The saying wasn’t a command, but was a future-indicative you will be:

“You all will therefore be complete [teleios #5046], as your Father the Heavenly One is complete.” Matt. 5:48 RBT
