Two or three Divine Beings in GOD

Proving there are two or three Divine Beings in the heavenly Elohiym

Introduction

The functional makeup of Elohiym, needs to be unravelled...Some theories of faith consider Elohiym is a single flow of power, which it is for Christianity. The pagan elohiym had individual flows of powers from different deities. The Christian concept of Elohiym in heaven is there is a single heavenly flow of power. But does this mean there is only a single heavenly Being, whose powers flow? That is the question, or are there three members of Divinity who are all Agents for this heavenly power flow? The functional descriptor "YHWH" He who exists does not help identify the heavenly Beings easily in the heavenly Elohiym.

The word "YHWH" has two maleness loving heavenly Beings in letter meanings of the word. A better way to unravel members within the heavenly Elohiym is to look for functional symbols which suggest the heavenly Elohiym, have different functional roles.

For example

  • The Holy Spirit is a Being who is an agency for heavenly powers of life in mankind.
  • The Holy Spirit is a Being who is an agency for powers of character in mankind.
  • The Holy Spirit is an agency of heavenly wisdom: the flow of heavenly truth.
  • The Holy Spirit is a symbol of wings and wind, as well as oil and water.
  • The Father is termed the Most High, the heavenly one who is highest in rank.
  • The Son is an active ruler from is Father's right hand.

    We would expect Hebrew words that suggest an active ruler, such as Adonay, which means 'Active Lord' because Jesus power comes from the 'Father's right hand', a Hebrew saying (idiom). Since Jesus is a typology of humilty and meekness and our type for salvation, we would expect Jesus to be symbols of a servant, and thus consider Himself a 'master' as well as a "lord". Indeed the Hebrew word 'adown' refers to Jesus in the Old Testament and New Testament as 'master' and 'lord' showing this typology for our benefit (assuming such multiple meanings are true)...so we have models of salvation... We also have symbols that the Father is a "lamp" and "burning furnace" and the Son is a "light" and "morning star". We should also find the "sun" a symbol of the Father and the Son, and the "moon" perhaps a symbol of the Holy Spirit (though Scriptuure does not say this). These different functions should help us find consistent verses, helping us answer the question: "Does the heavenly Elohiym consist of one Divine Being, or Three Divine Beings"?

    The phrase "He" sends "me". ...thus Elohiym has at least two members..

    Some of these verses reference human stories which are typologies of heavenly stories, and most references in the OT refer to references in the NT :-

  • (1) Ac 3:20 And he shall send Jesus Christ, which before was preached unto you:

    A possible reference to God, sending His Son, in NT times...

  • (2) Isa 19:20 And it shall be for a sign and for a witness unto the LORD of hosts in the land of Egypt: for they shall cry unto the LORD because of the oppressors, and he shall send them a saviour, and a great one, and he shall deliver them

    Is the Father rescuing them , talking of Himself, or does the Father send His Son ?

  • (3) Ge 24:7 The LORD God of heaven, which took me from my father's house, and from the land of my kindred, and which spake unto me, and that sware unto me, saying, Unto thy seed will I give this land; he shall send his Messenger (malak) before thee, and thou shalt take a wife unto my son from thence.

    The Father of heaven sends his Messenger...not an angel as the translation of malak suggests...the context is a house, father, wife and son...not a reference to beings outside of a family, like angels...

  • (4) Ps 2:11 Serve the LORD with fear, and rejoice with trembling. 12 Kiss the Son, lest he be angry, and ye perish from the way, when his wrath is kindled but a little. Blessed are all they that put their trust in him.

    The Father is referenced with the Son, two heavenly Beings referenced..

  • (5) Ps 7:11 God judgeth the righteous, and God is angry with the wicked every day. 13 He hath also prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors.

    The Father prepares His Son for death...

  • (6) Ps 7:17 I will praise the LORD according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the LORD most High .

    Either the YHWH praises himself as Father, or better, the Son YHWH praises His Father Most High.

  • (7) Ps 18:1 To the chief Musician, A Psalm of David, the servant of the LORD, who spake unto the LORD the words of this song in the day that the LORD delivered him from the hand of all his enemies, and from the hand of Saul: And he said, I will love thee, O LORD, my strength.

    David and his rescue, is a typology of the Father rescuing His Son while afflicted by Satanic enemies.

  • (8) Ps 18:3 I will call upon the LORD , who is worthy to be praised: so shall I be saved from mine enemies.

    A typology, the Son praises His Father , saved from his enemies.

  • (9) Ps 18:13 The LORD also thundered in the heavens, and the highest gave his voice; hail stones and coals of fire.

    Scholars might say this is poetry parallel, two lines about the Father in two simile ways...perhaps...or can poetry also make typologies as well? such as the Son a typology of His Father's activities?

  • (10) Ps 18:10 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: yea, he did fly upon the wings of the wind.

    Jesus and the Holy Spirit work together in terms of salvation, the Father helps as well, but Jesus is a reference here because Jesus and the Holy Spirit are two comforters.

  • (11) Ps 22:8 He trusted on the LORD that he would deliver him: let him deliver him, seeing he delighted in him.

    Jesus quoted this Psalm in affliction on the Cross, but even so Two Divine Beings are referenced here.

  • (12) Ps 22:26 The meek shall eat and be satisfied: they shall praise the LORD that seek him: your heart shall live for ever.

    The redeemed shall praise the Father, because they seek Jesus their Son. Is their a better way to reference this Psalm?

  • (13) Ps 49:15 � But God will redeem my soul from the power of the grave: for he shall receive me. Selah

    Referenced in the NT, The Father rescues His Son from the grave...

  • (14) Ps 51:10 Create in me a clean heart, O God; and renew a right spirit within me. 11 Cast me not away from thy presence; and take not thy holy spirit from me. 12 Restore unto me the joy of thy salvation; and uphold me with thy free spirit.

    There are three members of Elohiym, involved in salvation, and this is referenced in the NT, assuming you believe that the OT and NT reference the same system of salvation throughout.

  • (15) Ps 57:3 He shall send from heaven, and save me from the reproach of him that would swallow me up. Selah. God shall send forth his mercy and his truth.

    Typologies of three members of Elohiym, the Holy Spirit is an agency for truth.

  • (16) Ps 91:9 � Because thou hast made the LORD, which is my refuge, even the most High , thy habitation;

    Salvation is a habitation in Jesus and the Father Most High in the NT, so why would we not expect the same in the OT ?

  • (17) Ps 91:11 For he shall give his angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways.

    Satan quoted this verse about Jesus in the NT, so this proves TWO heavenly Beings are referenced here.

  • (18) Ps 98:2 The LORD hath made known his salvation:

    The Father send forth His Yeshua, a symbol of salvation, made complete in the personal form of Yeshua.

  • (19) Ps 111:10 The fear of the LORD is the beginning of wisdom:

    Here we see wisdom as a symbol of the Holy Spirit, with whom? The two Comforters as told in the NT is a better typology, than to say this is the Father and the Holy Spirit, for what is the context of this Psalm ? "Ps 111:9 He sent redemption unto his people:" Salvation is more about all three Members of the Godhead, yes, but here we see the Two Comforters, Jesus and the Holy Spirit.

  • (20) Isa 25:9 � And it shall be said in that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, and he will save us: this is the LORD; we have waited for him, we will be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

    This is quoted in the NT, a reference to the second coming of Jesus...

  • (21) Isa 26:3 Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee: because he trusteth in thee

    A typology, Jesus trusted His Father...

  • (22) Isa 40:13 Who hath directed the Spirit of the LORD , or being his counsellor hath taught him?

    Quoted in the NT, Jesus is the first and last...

  • (23) Isa 41:4 Who hath wrought and done it, calling the generations from the beginning? I the LORD, the first, and with the last; I am he.

    Cross referenced in Revelation, identifying Jesus..."Re 22:12 And, behold, I come quickly; and my reward is with me, to give every man according as his work shall be. 13 I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last."

  • (24) Isa 42:1 � Behold my servant, whom I uphold; mine elect, in whom my soul delighteth; I have put my spirit upon him: he shall bring forth judgment to the Gentiles.

    Quoted in the NT, Jesus is sent unto the Gentiles by His Father.

  • (25) Isa 42:21 The LORD is well pleased for his righteousness' sake; he will magnify the law, and make it honourable.

    Jesus made the torah great in the NT, a reference to two Divine Beings in the OT.

    So these examples should prove to any doubters, that Elohiym is NOT a single divine Being, but a "FAMILY concept".

    The phrase "He" anoints "me". ... one member is a messiah..

    Some of these verses reference human stories which are typologies of heavenly stories, and most references in the OT refer to references in the NT :-

  • ( 1 )Ps 2:2 The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the LORD , and against his anointed, saying,

    In Daniel, Jesus is estabished with a new kingdom for the redeemed by the Ancient of Days..thus anointing an earthly king is a typology of the Father anointing His Son as heavenly king..."Da 7:13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him."

  • ( 2 )1Sa 2:10 The adversaries of the LORD shall be broken to pieces; out of heaven shall he thunder upon them: the LORD shall judge the ends of the earth; and he shall give strength unto his king, and exalt the horn of his anointed.

    A typology of the Father anointing His Son as messiah and king..

  • (3 )1Sa 12:5 And he said unto them, The LORD is witness against you, and his anointed is witness this day, that ye have not found ought in my hand. And they answered, He is witness.

    A witness implys TWO Beings... Jesus witnesses to His Father's love to Israel, the torah (a symbol of Jesus) is placed aside the Ten Commandments, a symbol of the Father. " De 31:26 Take this book of the law, and put it in the side of the ark of the covenant of the LORD your God, that it may be there for a witness against thee."

  • ( 4 )1Sa 16:6 � And it came to pass, when they were come, that he looked on Eliab, and said, Surely the LORD's anointed is before him .

    A typology, surely the Son is before the Father..

  • ( 5 )1Sa 24:6 And he said unto his men, The LORD forbid that I should do this thing unto my Lord (adown), the LORD's anointed, to stretch forth mine hand against him, seeing he is the anointed of the LORD.

    A typology of Lord Adonay Jesus, in a relationship to His Father from all eternity..

  • (6 )Ps 20:6 � Now know I that the LORD saveth (yasha) his anointed; he will hear him from his holy heaven with the saving strength of his right hand.

    The Father hears from heaven, sends His anointed, His Son..

  • (7 )Ps 28:8 The LORD is their strength, and he is the saving strength of his anointed.

    Father sends His Son..

  • (8 )Isa 45:1 � Thus saith the LORD to his anointed, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have holden, to subdue nations before him; and I will loose the loins of kings, to open before him the two leaved gates; and the gates shall not be shut;

    Cyrus is a typology of Jesus, both are anointed..

  • ( 9 )La 4:20 The breath of our nostrils, the anointed of the LORD , was taken in their pits, of whom we said, Under his shadow we shall live among the heathen

    A reference to the Father -YHWH only? perhaps...a better view is to see a reference to two comforters annd we the redeemed are under Jesus shadow of salvation.. See a NT and science demonstration living under the shadow of Jesus.

  • ( 10 )Da 9:25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two weeks: the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in troublous times.

    A prophecy when the Father anoints Jesus , His anointed in real symbols on earth...

  • ( 11 )Hab 3:13 Thou wentest forth for the salvation of thy people(Yatsa Yesha Yasha) , even for salvation with thine anointed;

    Salvation went forth...to go forth, one must be send...to be sent, one must be sending...thus we have two divine Beings here...

  • ( 12 )1Sa 10:1 � Then Samuel took a vial of oil, and poured it upon his head, and kissed him, and said, Is it not because the LORD hath anointed thee to be Prince over his inheritance?

    The anointed is a Prince...the Father has anointed His Son as a Prince..

  • (13 )Isa 55:3 Incline your ear, and come unto me: hear, and your soul shall live; and I will make an everlasting covenant with you, even the sure mercies of David. 4 Behold, I have given him for a witness to the people, a Prince and commander to the people. 5 Behold, thou shalt call a nation that thou knowest not, and nations that knew not thee shall run unto thee because of the LORD thy God, and for the Holy One of Israel; for he hath glorified thee . 6 � Seek ye the LORD while he may be found, call ye upon him while he is near

    This Prince, the Father sends, so call on Jesus while He is near..

    Here are numerous examples that an anointed is one who represents another, and is estabished by another...thus we have TWO Divine Beings involved...

    The phrase "wings" is functionally the active one.. in Elohiym

    The Father is the highest rank in the heavenly Family, His Son is the "winged" or "active one" His Father sends...

    We saw Jesus as the active one, with wings in pictures of the 'saraph' on the pole, were simile pictures of Jesus contrasting Satan, who was the 'saraph' who sinned against GOD. "Nu 21:8 And the LORD said unto Moses, Make thee a "fiery serpent" (saraph) , and set it upon a pole: and it shall come to pass, that every one that is bitten, when he looketh upon it, shall live."

    Some of these verses reference human stories which are typologies of heavenly stories, and most references in the OT refer to references in the NT :-

  • (1) Ex 19:4 Ye have seen what I did unto the Egyptians, and how I bare you on eagles' wings, and brought you unto myself.

    The Son bare Israel on eagle wings, the Father also took part for a while...

  • (2) 2Sa 22:11 And he rode upon a cherub, and did fly: and he was seen upon the wings of the wind.

    From the stories of 'saraph' Jesus is the one who functions more actively on "wings" of the Holy Spirit.

  • (3) Ps 17:8 � Keep me as the apple of the eye, hide me under the shadow of thy wings,

    Under the shadow of the active ones.

  • (4) Ps 36:7 How excellent is thy lovingkindness, O God! therefore the children of men put their trust under the shadow of thy wings

    Place you trust under the wings of the active one.

  • (5) Ps 91:4 He shall cover thee with his feathers, and under his wings shalt thou trust: his truth shall be thy shield and buckler

    A reference in the NT, Jesus is the buckler of our faith...the active "winged" one.

  • (6) Isa 8:7 Now therefore, behold, the Lord bringeth up upon them the waters of the river, strong and many, even the king of Assyria, and all his glory: and he shall come up over all his channels, and go over all his banks: 8 And he shall pass through Judah; he shall overflow and go over, he shall reach even to the neck; and the stretching out of his wings shall fill the breadth of thy land, O Immanuel.

    This verse says it powerfully, Emmanuel, GOD with us, is the "winged one" called Jesus, the Father's Son..

  • (7) Jer 48:40 For thus saith the LORD; Behold, he shall fly as an eagle, and shall spread his wings over Moab.

    A reference to Jesus

  • (8) Eze 7:2 Also, thou son of man, thus saith the Lord Adonay YHWH unto the land of Israel; An end, the end is come upon the four wings of the land.

    A typology..the 'son of man' is a 'type for Jesus' the SON of MAN, referenced as Lord Adonay Jesus.

  • (9) Mal 4:2 But unto you that fear my name shall the Sun of righteousness arise with healing in his wings; and ye shall go forth, and grow up as calves of the stall.

    The Revelation speaks of Jesus as a morning star, the Sun of righteousness...the calves of the stall reference the fruits to the Steps to Jesus... "Ho 14:2 Take with you words, and turn to the LORD (Jesus): say (prayfully) unto him, Take away all iniquity (guilt), and receive us graciously: so will we render the calves of our lips." See the Steps to Jesus, the steps of Salvation.

    These verses show the 'saraph' image of Jesus, the active member of Elohiym, the Being like an angel, the Father sends as His messenger or ambassador.

    The phrase "sun" is functionally the one who empowers.. in Elohiym

    We might see the 'sun' as the single source of earthly power, and you would be right...but in our universe their are many suns and thus many sources of power... So where does all this power come from? Zero point energy, an enourmous flux of power from the Father... So if the "sun" are symbols of the "Father" and the "Son" this does not imply two sources of power from within Elohiym, but two Beings in Elohiym, whose powers flow. The Son in an Agency of His Father's power flow. The memra is a Jewish symbol of this same idea.

  • Ge 15:17 � And it came to pass, that, when the sun went down, and it was dark, behold a smoking furnace , and a burning lamp that passed between those pieces.

    There are two symbols of the Abraham covenant, the Father and the Son..

  • Ps 19:4 Their line is gone out through all the earth, and their words to the end of the world. In them hath he set a tabernacle for the sun, 5 Which is as a bridegroom coming out of his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.

    The bridegroom sun symbols are obviously referencing Jesus, the NT bridegroom.

  • Isa 45:6 That they may know from the rising of the sun , and from the west, that there is none beside me. I am the LORD, and there is none else. 7 I form the light, and create darkness: I make peace, and create evil: I the LORD do all these things.

    Paul tells us in the NT Jesus is a destroyer sent by the Father, thus He also upholds function and dysfunction.

  • Eze 8:16 And he brought me into the inner court of the LORD'S house, and, behold, at the door of the temple of the LORD, between the porch and the altar, were about five and twenty men, with their backs toward the temple of the LORD, and their faces toward the east; and they worshipped the sun toward the east.

    Jesus is a high priest in a heavenly temple...obviously the Father has a Son in His temple in heaven..

  • Joe 2:31 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the great and the terrible day of the LORD come.

    The second coming of Jesus...

  • Ac 2:20 The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:

    The second coming of Jesus...

  • Re 1:16 And he had in his right hand seven stars: and out of his mouth went a sharp twoedged sword: and his countenance was as the sun shineth in his strength.

    A prophecy about Jesus coming in person to earth..

  • Re 22:16 I Jesus have sent mine angel to testify unto you these things in the churches. I am the root and the offspring of David, and the bright and morning star.

    NT verse tells us Jesus is a sybol of the sun

  • Nu 24:17 I shall see him, but not now: I shall behold him, but not nigh: there shall come a Star out of Jacob, and a Sceptre shall rise out of Israel, and shall smite the corners of Moab, and destroy all the children of Sheth.

    A prophecy about Jesus in the OT times coming soon in human form.

    These examples show there has to be nore than a single heavenly Being in Elohiym.
