Genesis 21:33 And Abraham planted a grove in Beersheba, and called there on the name of the Lord, the everlasting God.

El Olam; the everlasting God.

It is also interpreted as the Eternal God. It is not lost on me that the name is first used in conjunction with this response by Abraham to a substantive event in Abraham’s life. Abraham made a covenant with Abimelech over the water well named Beersheba, the well of refreshing.

The planting of the grove, fruit bearing, seed producing, seed planting, tree growth, on and on generation after generation was in itself not only a memorial to the God of Abraham but unto the process by which God should be known unto all men time after time and time again.

Psalm 126:6 He that goeth forth and weepeth, bearing precious seed, shall doubtless come again with rejoicing, bringing his sheaves with him.

That precious seed of Abraham is Christ Jesus. Planting Christ in your heart is the everlasting chain of producing the good fruit that reproduces the good seed, which gets planted once again, into the hearts of the lost.

Matthew 13:23 But he that received seed into the good ground is he that heareth the word, and understandeth it; which also beareth fruit, and bringeth forth, some an hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty.

John 12:24 Verily, verily, I say unto you, Except a corn of wheat fall into the ground and die, it abideth alone: but if it die, it bringeth forth much fruit.

Only El Olam could bring life from death.

Romans 6:3-4 Know ye not, that so many of us as were baptized into Jesus Christ were baptized into his death? Therefore we are buried with him by baptism into death: that like as Christ was raised up from the dead by the glory of the Father, even so we also should walk in newness of life.

By the glory of the Father, El Olam, our eternal God.

Meaning and Derivation: Adonai is the verbal parallel to Yahweh and Jehovah. Adonai is plural; the singular is adon. In reference to God the plural Adonai is used. When the singular adon is used, it usually refers to a human lord. Adon is used 215 times to refer to men. Occasionally in Scripture and predominantly in the Psalms, the singular adon is used to refer to God as well (cf. Exodus 34:23). To avoid contravening the commandment “Thou shalt not take the name of the LORD thy God in vain” (Exodus 20:7), sometimes Adonai was used as a substitute for Yahweh(YHWH). Adonai can be translated literally as, “my lords’ ” (both plural and possessive).

I find it disrespectful when children call their parents by their given names. I do not allow my children to call me Larry. I set the rules for my children. Perhaps Exodus 20:7 was God’s way of setting that rule for His children, perhaps.

In many states grandparents are given affectionate names to be used with respect and affection. When both grandparents are still living different names are given to each to distinguish the maternal or paternal heritage. The issue is not so much what those names are but rather the loving respect given in the heart of the child.

In many ways I view Adonai as being just that, a loving and respectful name that is heart felt by the children of God.

Galatians 4:6 And because ye are sons, God hath sent forth the Spirit of his Son into your hearts, crying, Abba, Father.

Being adopted our heartfelt Abba is our equivalent to Adonai.

Abba has the Greek interpretation subjoined to it; this is apparently to be explained by the fact that the Chaldean word, through frequent use in prayer, gradually acquired the nature of a most sacred proper name, to which the Greek-speaking Jews added the appellative from their own tongue, respecting its accent.
