Adonai (S)

Literally, my Lord; spoken in place of the ineffable name Yahweh. FINE, BABY! I LOVE YOU, B Dooh B!!! A fact. N traditionally another paradox. Rough & Tough as Phuck are understatements. I´m Dante ...

… and this continues to be my Inferno … I keep on fighting … I´ve just lost track of time, in the Eighth or Ninth Circle of Hell … you have no idea, either …

Adonai is Lord and Master of our lives

Before we can experience God as Creator, the Most Holy God, the God who sees and the All Sufficient One we must bow before Him as Lord — Master and Owner. Do you recognize Him as master and owner of all you have? Adonai is the plural of Adon meaning Lord, master, and owner. The word Adon is used 300 times in the Tanakh.

Do you acknowledge Him as owner and master of all you have? Yes, you do!

Most of us first coming to Christ have high expectations of His love and goodness to His children. We expect His blessings, protection and direction. We rarely consider the close relationship we will need to experience all these things.

We know only a little about Him in the beginning, and many times, the things of this life crowd out the relationship we should have with Him. We usually only pray when we have a problem or illness that we don’t know how to handle, but a daily conversation with Him, we tend to think what happened at conversion is sufficient. After all, we are intelligent enough to work most problems out by ourselves. We did not consider taking the issues of each day to Him in prayer. We didn’t consider this being part of salvation and being saved.

If you have a job, you have a leader — someone you report to and learn from, someone who knows all the organizational structure — what works, and what doesn’t work. That person would give you goals to accomplish. This person would be very important, even necessary, for you to be successful and contribute to the best interests of the organization. It would be necessary for you to speak with this person often for direction. If you never acknowledged or talked to your boss, the man in charge, how could you accomplish or even know what your goals are and how to accomplish them? What would happen is you would lose your job, miss out on your rewards and your reputation would be tainted.

Can a person truly be saved and deny the Lordship of the God of his life and expect eternal life if he has never bowed before His Lord? The One in charge knows all things and can guide us to victory and great accomplishments for this life and the life of his family, even to the next generation.

If we simply ask Jesus into our hearts and ask for His guidance at conversion, but then leave Him out of our lives except on Sunday, we are missing all the blessings and plans He has for us. He must become our Lord and Master. We are giving our all to Him. True Christianity is when we commit our lives to Christ and are willing to obey His plan for our lives.

In Exodus 4:10-14, God commanded Moses to go before Pharaoh and be used of God to set God’s people free. The word Moses uses was in capital letters LORD — meaning Adonai which is Master-Owner.

Moses response was “I do not have eloquent speech. I am slow of tongue” This appears to make God angry because he responds with “Who made man’s mouth or who made him deaf, or seeing, or blind? Is it I, the Lord?” God is saying no excuses I am in control either I am LORD, or not, if I am then you obey me and trust me! God was upset because Moses says LORD-Master-Adonai, but then did not trust Him enough to summit. Was Moses really sincere if he calls God Lord-Master-Adonai but refuses to do what God told him to do which is obey and trust God with the outcome?

When he calls us, he provides all we need to accomplish the task He has called us to. He is a great God with the plan; include him in all your decisions and choices. You belong to Him.

If you are going to call God LORD – Master and Adonai, then you have given Him your life and all that you have. Fellowship and daily prayer is a must.

Gal 2:20 says “I am crucified with Christ, nevertheless I live; yet not I, but Christ lives in me; and the life which I now live in the flesh I live by faith of the Son of God, who loves me and gave himself for me.”

If God is God, then He must be Adonai-master and we must listen and obey.

Keep those arms open for the children. Ask God to help you make this summer special for the those precious children He has given you. Make sure they are included in every prayer and decision made. They are an inheritance from the Lord. Keep them safely in your arms and in the Father’s watchful eye.

God bless you & me as you & I serve Adonai. You know me, my way, my particular way, my peculiar way. In this life or the next.

Literally, my Lord; spoken in place of the ineffable name Yahweh. FINE, BABY! I LOVE YOU, B Dooh B!!! A fact. N traditionally another paradox. Rough & Tough as Phuck are understatements. I´m Dante ...

Adonais: A Pastoral Elegy on the Death of John Keats. The Great Poet weeps not only for John Keats, who is dead and who will be long mourned. He calls on Urania to mourn for Keats who died in Rome. Rome, Where All Roads End. Rome Never Fell! The Empire Never Ended!

But in terms of the poem, Shelley’s weaving together of a contemporary situation with the primarily classical depiction of Adonis makes the work still more complex. To do this, Shelley employs two very important Greek myths in this poem.

The predominant one is the myth of Adonis (whose name also means “Lord”), in which Adonis is born from a myrrh tree, dies in a hunting accident where he is slain by a boar, and then is metamorphosed into an anemone, a flower without scent. In Shelley’s poem, Adonais is killed by an evil critic, depicted as a wild beast who “pierced by the shaft which flies / In darkness” and is mourned by his mother Urania (Aphrodite/Urania, the goddess of earthly love), whom Shelley elevates to the status of motherhood, thereby invalidating another mythic tradition which has Aphrodite as Adonis’s lover. Shelley did this in order to conform to the dignity of a poem written to commemorate the death of a great poet.

The poet weeps for John Keats, who is dead and who will be long mourned. He calls on Urania to mourn for Keats who died in Rome. The poet summons the subject matter of Keats' poetry to weep for him. It comes and mourns at his bidding. Nature, celebrated by Keats in his poetry, mourns him. Spring, which brings nature to new life, cannot restore him. Urania rises, goes to Keats' death chamber and laments that she cannot join him in death. Fellow poets mourn the death of Keats: Byron, Thomas Moore, Shelley, and Leigh Hunt. The anonymous Quarterly Review critic is blamed for Keats' death and chastised.

The poet urges the mourners not to weep any longer. Keats has become a portion of the eternal and is free from the attacks of reviewers. He is not dead; it is the living who are dead. He has gone where "envy and calumny and hate and pain" cannot reach him. He is "made one with Nature." His being has been withdrawn into the one Spirit which is responsible for all beauty. In eternity, other poets, among them Thomas Chatterton, Sir Philip Sidney, and the Roman poet Lucan, come to greet him. Let anyone who still mourns Keats send his "spirit's light" beyond space and be filled with hope, or let him go to Rome where Keats is buried. Let him "Seek shelter in the shadow of the tomb. / What Adonais is, why fear we to become?" He is with the unchanging Spirit, Intellectual Beauty, or Love in heaven. By comparison with the clear light of eternity, life is a stain.

The poet tells himself he should now depart from life, which has nothing left to offer. The One, which is Light, Beauty, Benediction, and Love, now shines on him. He feels carried "darkly, fearfully, afar" to where the soul of Keats glows like a star, in the dwelling where those who will live forever are.

Oh no, do you really think I deserve the Adonai Award or Reward? Nah, baby, I´ll leave the really beautiful statue to somebody more qualified. I´m just an ugly general doing my job, doing God´s work, loving you pretty imperfectly. Such is my love, sigh …

Mick Jagger of the Rolling Stones read a part of Adonais at the Brian Jones memorial concert at London's Hyde Park on 5 July 1969. Jones, founder and guitarist of the Stones, had drowned 3 July 1969 in his swimming pool. Before an audience estimated at 250,000 to 300,000, Jagger read the following verses from Adonais:

Peace, peace! he is not dead, he doth not sleep
He hath awakened from the dream of life
'Tis we, who lost in stormy visions, keep
With phantoms an unprofitable strife,
And in mad trance, strike with our spirit's knife
Invulnerable nothings. — We decay
Like corpses in a charnel; fear and grief
Convulse us and consume us day by day,
And cold hopes swarm like worms within our living clay.

The One remains, the many change and pass;
Heaven's light forever shines, Earth's shadows fly;
Life, like a dome of many-coloured glass,
Stains the white radiance of Eternity,
Until Death tramples it to fragments. — Die,
If thou wouldst be with that which thou dost seek!
Follow where all is fled!

The Cure - Adonais (LYRICS ON SCREEN) 📺 Please look it up on YouTube

He breaks the spell still young
Awakes from out this dream of life
And leaves us sleeping
Storm racked blind consumed

By phantom pale displays of grief
He slips from out this shadow land of pain
Where heads grow sorrow grey
And age destroys all hope

And spirits crushed
Lament and hide away

But wordless watch the soft sky smile
And breathless hear the low wind sigh
"what death may join no more let life divide"

"dream yourself awake" he calls
"eternity awaits us all
Open your eyes and be with me
Be with me... "

He breaks the chains still young
Dispels the hateful shades of treacherous time
And leaves us sleeping
Tortured mute

Devoured by ghostly shapes of life
He slips from ties of dust
To be the world we dream he lives
A part of everything we feel

The young and beautiful
And brave of heart

But wordless watch the soft sky smile
And breathless hear the low wind sigh
"What death may join no more let life divide"

"Dream yourself awake" he calls
"Eternity awaits us all
Open your eyes and be with me
Be with me... "

"Dream yourself awake" he calls
"Eternity awaits us all
Open your eyes and be with me
Forever... "
