Here is Part 1 as before I'm citing things from Names of God by Nathan Stone and from Names of God L.Dauphin but I don't use that alot because he's often off a little.
3. El Shaddai
Looking at this name the full meaning to the best of my reckoning is, a powerful God, able to do violence to the laws of nature or the ordinary course of nature. One who compels nature to do what is contrary to itself. Mighty to nourish, supply, satisfy, one who sheds forth and pours out sustenance and blessing. All sufficent and self-sufficent. Nourishes and sustains life. Power of and shedder forth of blessings. The All Bountiful One. All bountiful in the fullness and fruitfullness He imparts to all who trust him and wait patiently on Him. The one who fills and makes fruitful. The power out of judgments and the Mighty Promiser and Giver of Life
Interesting Translation Notes
The Hebrew shad from which is derived Shaddai, the name of God translated "almighty in our Bibles means breast. Which makes sense...seeing that Shaddai does not only mean almighty but able to satisfy. In the ancient version of the bible called the Septuagint, this name Shaddai is given as ikanos which can be translated all-sufficent.
The common Hebrew word for field ( sadeh) a cultivated field that is, is simply another form of the word shaddai. It is the field as cultivated earth which nourishes and sustains life.
4. Adonai
God is the owner of each member of the human family and consequently claims the unrestricted obedience of all. He has complete possession and we must have complete submission. He has perfect right to all we have. He is the Lord of Lords, the master who lives and reigns.He claims obedience and service. He enables his servants to carry out his commands when they yield themselves to Him and obey. He gives his prescence and protection. He bestows gifts upon his servants and equips them for his service. He is a rock, a fortress, and a deliverer. We are His and He is ours. The Lord of ALL men whether they acknowledge him or not.
Interesting Translation Notes
Adonai is the plural of the Hebrew word adon meaning master or owner. It is most often seen as Lord in small letters with the first letter capitalized in our Bibles and most frequently used by David.Used of men it is used in the singular form but used of God it is used in the plural. Itis significant that it is almost always in the plural and possessive, meaning my Lords'. It confirms the idea of a trinity as found also in the name Elohim.
The suggestion of the Trinity in this name is still more striking by its use in Psalm 110 in these words: "The Lord said unto my Lord," or "Jehovah said unto my Adonai. Sit thou on my right hand, ti I make thing enemies thy footstool." The Lord Jesus in Matthew 22:41-45 refers to ts striking passage to Himself.
David speaking of but one member of the Trinity should use here not the plural Adonai, but the singular form Adoni : "Jehovah said unto my Adoni," that is to Christ the second person of the Trinity.
