Lord or my Lord Explanation: The name Adonai, is translated "Lord" (only the "L" capitalized) in the Old Testament. But it is also almost always used in the plural possessive form meaning "My Lords". (as a concept of The Trinity. This same word is also used of men, and is predominantly translated as "master". Note, however, that, when used of men, it is always used in the singular form. The implication of The Trinity in this name is obvious in Psalms 110:1. Ps 110:1 1 The LORD said unto my Lord, Sit thou at my right hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool. ("Jehovah said unto my Adonai, Sit thou on my right hand, til I make thine enemies thy footstool"). The true meaning of this name in the Hebrew language indicates "mastership" or "ownership". From this, we can clearly see God's outright ownership of all things in Heaven and Earth. This also clearly defines our role as servants to our Adonai. |
