Eli

Eli is generally translated as "Eli", which is what
Jesus called "Eli! Eli! Ramasabhagdani" when Jesus was crucified.

This word means God, or my God.
There is also a cognate word, Eloi, which is translated as Roy, and the plural is Elohiym, which refers to the Trinity.
"Eli" is Hebrew, the original text is אלאני, which means "my god".
And "Eloi" is Aramaic, which also means "my god".
"Eloi" is not used to call God, nor is it the name of God, but is calling God in Jesus' own language (Aramaic).

The first chapter of Genesis tells us, and the term "God" in the first chapter of Colossians is Elohiym in Hebrew, which is a plural form. In Hebrew, the singular form of God is El. Both types are Eloi. And Elohiym is the plural form of God. At first, God, Elohiym was a plural noun, I think it implies the meaning of Trinity. In the very first verse of the Bible, the plural form of "God" is used. Later, when God created human beings, it was not in my image or in my likeness. The Bible says that let us be God through the Father, Son, Holy Spirit, and the Trinity.


This is a film of Christian faith.
He even clearly teaches you how to pray to God:
"Dear God, thank you for giving us food, thank you for giving us warm beds, and the eaves above us on cold nights. , We are even more grateful to you for giving us friendship during such a difficult time. Amen."

(Thanks for the meal is in the middle of praying, thanking God for the food. Jesus also taught this in the Lord’s Prayer/Sutra of God after the Sermon on the Mount.

"Lord’s Prayer" "Oratio Dominica" (Oratio Dominica)

… …Our daily food is given to us today,...
or do:
…Please reward us today’s daily food...)

The film puts faith in an extreme environment. While on the run, the poem that Eli recites to the little girl reflects the spiritual world that Christians should have, or that the rest of the


Lord does not come from this world: the Lord is my shepherd. I will not lack.
He made me lie down on the green grass and led me by the water where I could rest.
He awakened my soul and guided me on the path of righteousness for his own name.
Although I have traveled through the valley of death, I am not afraid of being harmed. Because you are with me.


Our peace is not because of people or circumstances, but because of the Lord Jesus Christ.

To be honest, I have kissed the cross before watching this film, but I haven't kissed my bible for a long time. (Because I have no less than ten versions of the Bible, I neglected the importance.) I even forgot how precious the Bible is to us. Although I can use it to read it every day, I never thought that the weak would be the last in the world. What can I do with this Bible? The Bible is the holy word of God, the way by which the world was created, that is, our Lord Jesus Christ.

The gospel of Jesus Christ is a mystery of God, but it is not a very profound thing. A simple prayer of thanksgiving that leads you into peace can be your rest in Jesus.

Our peace does not belong to this world, nor can it be taken away in the last days.
I have this true peace in Jesus.
When a blind girl can touch the Braille Bible and smile at it,
thank God I seem to see the indescribable joy that I feel when I read the Bible.
The word of God allows us to overcome this world.

I like the name
Eli very much, because "Eli" itself is a declaration: my god.

The Book of Eli quotes

  • Eli: They say the war tore a hole in the sky, you've probably heard the stories.

    Solara: Yeah.

    Eli: The war tore a hole in the sky, the sun came down, burnt everything, everyone, I wandered, I didn't really know what I should do or where I was going. I was just moving from place to place, trying to stay alive. And then one day I heard this voice. I don't know how to explain it, it's like it was coming from inside me. But I could hear it clear as day. Clear as I can hear you talking to me now. It told me to carry the book west, it told me that a path would be laid out before me, that I'd be led to a place where the book would be safe. It told me I'd be protected, against anyone or anything that tried to stand in my way. If only I would have faith. That was thirty years ago and I've been walking ever since.

    Solara: And you did all this because a voice told you to?

    Eli: I know what I hear, I know what I heard, I know I'm not crazy, I didn't imagine it

  • Hoyt: [seeing two dead hijackers] It's like he's protected somehow. Like there's nothing that can touch him

    Carnegie: Oh, he's just a fucking man. You put a bullet in him, he'll go down like any other.
