Who Was Jesus? 23fathers were under the cloud, and all passed through thesea; and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud and inthe sea; and did all eat the same spiritual meat; and did alldrink <strong>of</strong> the same spiritual drink: for they drank <strong>of</strong> thatspiritual Rock that followed them: and that Rock wasChrist" (I Cor. 10:1-4).Paul clearly tells us that Jesus Christ was the <strong>God</strong> <strong>of</strong>the Old Testament - the One who spoke to Moses and ledthe <strong>Is</strong>raelites out <strong>of</strong> Egypt. This clearly shows us that theOne who became the Son was the <strong>God</strong> <strong>of</strong> the Old Testament,not <strong>God</strong> the Father.Yet the doctrine <strong>of</strong> the <strong>Trinity</strong> hinges on the assumptionthat <strong>God</strong> manifested Himself as the Father in the OldTestament and Christ in the New Testament.Duality <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong> Throughoutthe BibleThe plurality <strong>of</strong> <strong>God</strong> is not merely a "plural <strong>of</strong> majesty"as some would have us believe.Six hundred years before Christ, the Prophet Danielrecorded for us a vision. "I saw in the night visions, and,behold, one like the Son <strong>of</strong> man came with the clouds <strong>of</strong>heaven, and came to the Ancient <strong>of</strong> days ... " (Dan. 7:13).The "Son <strong>of</strong> man" he described can be none other than theOne who later became Jesus Christ. Daniel then saw Himgiven rulership and a Kingdom that will never bedestroyed (verse 14). The "Son <strong>of</strong> man" mentioned herecould hardly be a mere physical human being!The Ancient <strong>of</strong> Days, in this instance, is the divineBeing who is called the Father in the New Testament.Jesus Christ referred to the same occurrence as mentionedin this vision in His parable <strong>of</strong> the nobleman (Himself)who went to a far country (heaven) to receive akingdom, and to return (Luke 19:12).The duality <strong>of</strong> the <strong>God</strong> family was also referred to inPsalm 110 by David."The Lord said unto my Lord, Si.t thou at my righthand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool" (verse 1).Two different Lords are mentioned here. One is <strong>God</strong>the Father and the other is the One who became Jesus
