God's Name is Adonai

Daniel Thomson

Sinossi

THE NAMES OF GOD we've looked at so far are Elohim, which in our Bibles is translated as "God," Jehovah, which is translated as "LORD," and "El-Shaddai," which is translated as "God Almighty" or "Almighty God." These names have been associated with God's Person—the power and glory of His Being, as in Elohim; His expression as a God of righteousness, holiness, love, and redemption, as in Jehovah; and as a beneficent and bountiful Bestower of powers, gifts, blessings, and fruitfulness for service, as in El-Shaddai. While these names do imply or demand that man conform to the Being in whose image he is created, the name under discussion in this chapter makes a clear demand for man's obedience and service.
 
In our Bibles, the name Adonai is translated as Lord, which is written in small letters with only the first letter capitalized. Adonai is a name for God that appears around 300 times in the Old Testament. It's noteworthy that it's almost always in the plural and possessive, implying "my Lords." It supports the concept of a trinity, which is also reflected in the name Elohim. This is further supported by the fact that the same word is used of men 215 times and is translated as "master," "sir," and "lord," but mostly "master," as in Genesis 24, 41 42, where Eliezer, Abraham's servant, speaks of "my master Abraham" and repeatedly says, "Blessed be Jehovah God of my master Abraham." It's also worth noting that the word "owner" is used to translate the same phrase Adonai several times. However, when it is applied to men, it is always in the singular form, adon. It is only in the plural because of God. "The Lord spoke unto my Lord," or "Jehovah said unto my Adonai," or "Jehovah said unto my Adonai," or "Jehovah said unto my Adonai," or "Jehovah said unto my Adonai," or "Jehovah said unto my Adonai," or "Jehovah said unto my Adonai," or "Jehovah said unto my Adon "Sit on my right hand till I make thy foes thy footstool," says the narrator. This stunning chapter is referred to by the Lord Jesus in Matthew 22:41-45 (as well as Peter in Acts 2:34, 35; and Hebrews 1:13; 10:12, 13). How noteworthy, then, that David, speaking of only one part of the Trinity, uses the single word Adoni instead of the plural Adonai: "Jehovah said unto mine Adoni," that is, Christ, the second Person of the Trinity!

The Deepest Place - Suffering...

MD Curt Thompson

In the face of personal and global suffering, is it possible to live with hope rather than despair? Join psychiatrist, speaker, and award-winning author Curt Thompson as he shows us how God transforms our grief into a lasting peace that surpasses all understanding. 
Suffering is a defining reality of life. Yet so many of us are so focused on avoiding discomfort that we've never learned how to actually suffer. But what if we could move from anxiety to durable hope? 
In The Deepest Place, Thompson invites us to explore how the Apostle Paul's experience of love, secure attachment, and the deeply felt sense of God's abiding presence carried him through the challenges he faced--and how it can help us not just survive, but flourish in the presence of suffering. 
Combining scripture with his own professional insight, Thompson helps us discover that:Suffering can increase our sense of security rather than our fearsHope is something we form in communityFaith can grow out of anger, cynicism, and doubtPerseverance changes our brain and reshapes our imaginationListening to our bodies helps us find new hope in loss 
  
As Thompson reminds us, those who have suffered greatly, including the Apostle Paul, are able to see their stories with a new understanding of God's presence and unfailing love. Let The Deepest Place show you how to do the same.

Unpacking Leviticus - The Third...

Chris Solaas

When the small scrap of parchment is handed to Nicodemus, it only contains the one word, Tetelestai. But that word sends him on a flight for his life with his faithful Greek servant Trecho. On a wager, the pagan Greek allows Nicodemus to read the scroll of Leviticus to him while they travel, and explain how this Messiah Jesus could possibly be in every part of it, when the scroll was written thousands of years earlier. At every step they are hounded by the rabid Pharisee Saul of Tarsus, who has a personal vendetta against the aged rabbi, and is headed to Damascus himself with papers that will place all of the believers there in jail.
