ADONAI JEHOVAH
(pronounced ah-doe-NIGH yah-veh)
SOVEREIGN GOD
1 Kings 2:26
And the king said to Abiathar the priest, Go to Anathoth, to thine own fields; for thou art worthy of death; but I will not at this time put thee to death, because thou didst bear the ark of ADONAI JEHOVAH before David my father, and because thou hast been afflicted in all wherein my father was afflicted.
This is the first and only time the word ADONAI is used in the Bible as descriptive of one of God's Names. Though there are attachments to the Name ADONAI, as we will see further on, this is the only time the single definition of ADONAI is indicated.
Isaiah 44:6
Thus says The LORD, The King and Redeemer of Israel, The LORD of Hosts: "I am The First and I am The Last, and there is no God but Me."
Revelation 1:5
And from Jesus Christ, The Faithful Witness, The Firstborn from the dead, and The Ruler of the kings of the earth.
Deuteronomy 10:17
For The LORD your God is God of gods and Lord of lords, The Great, Mighty, and Awesome God, showing no partiality and accepting no bribe.
Revelation 19:16
And He has a Name written on His robe and on His thigh: KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS.
Isaiah 45:23
By Myself I have sworn; Truth has gone out from My mouth, a Word that will not be revoked: Every knee will bow before Me, every tongue will swear allegiance.
Elohim, Creator, is also implied here. Being Elohim, He is Creator of all things. Therefore, God is Sovereign over all that He has created. Ruler over everything and everyone, for He has created all worlds and all people.
As Moses stated in Deuteronomy, God is GOD of gods, all other gods being lesser because, in reality, they don't exist at all. They are made-up gods, created by the hands of mankind. One God. One Creator. One Sovereign. Adonai Jehovah.
