Is there a correlation between the names of God used in the first chapters of Genesis and the four levels of Scripture?

The Hebrew word “'elohiym” could be translated many ways: judges, angels or gods. In chapter one of Genesis it is translated God.
The Hebrew word “Y@hovah” in chapter two is translated by some to be Lord God.
In St. Luke’s Gospel, Elizabeth says: “Why is it the that the mother of my Lord visit me.” The Greek word “kurios” is translated Lord.
In St. Luke “theos” is used in Luke 1: 30. “And the angel said unto her, Fear not, Mary: for thou hast found favour with God.”
Well, I am playing with my three year old son. I am having to stop.
Was “'elohiym” used allegorically for the Messiah, Jesus the Christ?
Was “Y@hovah” used for God the Father?
This is the allegorical level of scripture.
Well I must now stop.
Any ideas or help?

According to info in the introduction to the Pentateuch and Genesis in my old New American Bible, some Bible scholars believe that Genesis was not the product of a single original author [Moses] but that the final [anonymous] redactor used several different sources or literary traditions in his composition. These sources are usually referred to as the Yahwist (J), Elohist (E) and Priestly (P). One of the superficial differences between the Yahwist and Elohist is that the Yahwist source prefers the name Yahweh for God and the Elohist source prefers the name Elohim for God.

Jehovah is all the vowel sounds taken out of Yahweh. It was an idea thought up by a monk many many years ago. It doesn’t say that. We do not call God Jehovah.The Hebrew word “'elohiym” could be translated many ways: judges, angels or gods. In chapter one of Genesis it is translated God.

I do not know how to ask the questions. I do not know how to ask them short and to the point.
I think, believe and feel that the manner in which the O. T. uses different name for God is directly related to Jesus Christ and the New Testament.
The four different names used the the first three chapters of Genesis was inspired. They must be correlated to Jesus Christ.
The four levels of scripture my be a clue.
So: Do any of you know of an answer to my puzzle? I do not.
Do any of you know the questions and tbeir answers? I do not.
Thank YOU!!!

Seamus,
I think what might help is to look at at the Bible as a faith document. From this starting point we can can understand why there are different names used for God in the OT and why we find different title for Jesus in the NT.
Just as we are all effected differently by our experience of God in different ways. Some see God as a Father, others as a power beyond all other powers and still God as the source of all being.
What we find then throughout Scriptures human efforts to articulate this understanding through the only way we can that is through our language. Also we find this articulation coming from not just individuals but this is the faith response of a people and through their liturature.
This is the basis for the theory that we find in the scriptures multiple leyers of sources that were used in the final books we have today. God effects different people in different way and this multiple effects/responses are expressed and brought together in a final work.
