Just read John 1: 1-3 which starts by saying, 'In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God...' This describes 2 personalities of the God family. Just like the 'Elohim' of Genesis 1. Elohim is a plural noun some call a 'Majestic' noun. Throughout Scripture you will find 2 beings - The Father who is the higher authority and the Word or Logos which means 'Spokesman' of that Family. In other places after the new Father/Son relationship is begotten in the New Testament Gospels, the Word becomes Jesus Christ, the Son. There are many names for the Spokesman of the God Family, many which also refer to the Father as was/is a custom like a given name is the father's name too. Names have a specific meaning hence the reason for the changes in order to more clearly communicate to mankind like Abram to Abraham in Genesis 17:5. Adonai or Jehovah (from Yahweh) are names of Jesus in the Old Testament as is Melchizedek, the Eternal High Priest. Lastly, think of the name God as a surname so you may see clearer.
Via the context of the passage of Scripture, you can glean which personality is speaking or being spoken about. The varied authors who recorded the Scriptures sometimes use LORD for the Father and Lord for the Word or Jesus. So the Great Day of the LORD God Almighty is the Day of God the Father's wrath upon mankind. El Shaddai (meaning God Almighty) is usually thought of as the name of the Father but can also be the Word. 'I AM' is also speaking of Jesus Christ who first used this name to Moses and at His trial before His crucifixion. There are many terms which you will read in the Bible all reflecting attributes of the God Family member.
