OF GOD
(ECHAD ELOHIM) (cont.)

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..
