    Hashem, as we refer to God, is a an all-encompassing force. That is why the words Almighty and Omnipotent are often used when trying to convey the concept of Hashem.

    If a person would be prepared to delve into the concept of Hashem, they would come to the realization that Hashem cannot be physical, because all physicality is finite and Hashem is infinite. This is why we are taught that “Hashem has no body nor anything that resembles a body.”
