O Adonaï, and Leader of the House of Israel, who appearedst in the Bush to Moses in a flame of fire, and gavest him the Law in Sinai: Come and deliver us with an outstretched arm..
Adonaï is the Hebrew name that stands for the Holy Name of God which our Jewish brethren may not pronounce on grounds of their reverence for Him. Christianity, on the other hand, has a name for Him - Jesus - at which our knees bow willingly and with much love. As Jesus is the image of the invisible God, so is His Name the image of the Divine Name by which we, in our humility, are permitted to address Him even as we are permitted to touch Him, embrace Him and consume Him.
Jesus is the arm of God stretched out to pull us from the mire of Sin and Death which we only know to exist by the gift of the Law given by God to Moses. Although that arm burns brightly with Divine Light, it does not consume us. We have consumed Christ and He burns within us to make us like Him. As we shine with His Light, by that Light we shall see the New Jerusalem in which we may dwell for Eternity with Him.
