Pantokrator

Greek: “Holding all,” the primary divine title in the Eastern creeds (distinct from the Latin omnipotens, “almighty”). It carries the connotation not merely of power but of the capacity to hold all things together, sustain, and embrace—pointing toward a relational rather than merely omnipotent deity.
