THE COMPOSITE ONENESS OF GOD 
(ECHAD ELOHIM) (cont.)
by Dave R. Mode, Jr.



VI. SCRIPTURAL EVIDENCES OF THE TRI-UNITY OF ELOHIM 

The New Covenant Scriptures clearly indicate that the Father, Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah and the Holy Spirit are divine, and emanate from the Most High. The divinity of Yeshua (Jesus) is seen in that he was called the Word that was with God (elohim) in the beginning, and was God (elohim) according to John 1:1. The divinity of the Holy Spirit is seen in that he proceeded from the Father, and is the executive representative of Yeshua (Jesus) in the earth according to John 15:26 and 16:13. 

Upon accepting the divinity of the Father, Yeshua (Jesus) the Messiah (the Son) and the Holy Spirit, let us look at the scriptural evidences which reveal the divine tri-unity of Elohim. 

In Matthew 3:16-17, Yeshua (Jesus) is immersed in water, the Holy Spirit descends upon Yeshua (Jesus) in the form of a dove, and the Father speaks from the heavens. 

In John 14:8-10, Yeshua (Jesus) and the Father are declared as being one (echad). From the original Hebrew-Aramaic that Yeshua (Jesus) actually spoke, the word “one” is properly defined from the term echad. The proper understanding is that Yeshua (Jesus) and the Father are united (echad). It should not be interpreted that Yeshua (Jesus) and the Father are the same person. 

In Acts 7:55-56, Stephen sees Yeshua (Jesus) standing on the right hand (side) of God the Father. 

In Revelation chapters 4 & 5, The scene is depicted in the highest of the heavens revealing the three of the triune Elohim. i) The Father sitting on the throne; ii) The sevenfold Spirit of God (Holy Spirit) in front of the throne; and iii) The Lamb, who is Yeshua (Jesus), taking the scroll out of the Father's hand. 

In Matt. 28:19, when Yeshua (Jesus) commanded that disciples are to be baptized (immersed), he used the phrase “the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit” to denote who the disciples were being immersed into. In focusing on the phrase, it must be understood that the name of the Father, Son and Holy Spirit is Yehovah. Also, the phrase reveals that Yehovah has a three part composition. 

Based upon the evidence of these scriptures, the Most High is composed of three parts. In the earth realm, the three parts of Elohim were manifested. Also, in the spirit realm of the highest of the heavens, the three parts of Elohim were seen. Since the Most High has revealed his three part makeup both on earth and in the heavens, one can conclude that Yehovah Elohim is a tri-unity..
