Abstract	The article addresses the issue of the parallels existing between the concepts of the “Divine creative principle” in the so-called Abrahamic religions and certain religious and philosophic teachings. A comparison of the related notions and vocabulary used to denote these ideas in the Old Testament, Aramaic Targums, the Philonian school, the New Testament, by Muslim ( including Shaykhi) thinkers, and in the Baha’i religion leads the author to the conclusion that there exists a certain similarity in how this notion is expressed in the above teachings. All of them acknowledge the Divine Word, Will or Command as the Creative Principle, the Active Force and Instrument in Divine creation. Apart from that, a linguistic (etymological) parallelism can also be traced between the terms employed by certain religious teachings which are derived from related Semitic roots.
