TRINITY : M. M. NINAN<br />
3. Elohim Ehad<br />
Notice two Lords. One who rained on Sodom and Gomorrah<br />
which evidently is the Lord who walked with Abraham to looking<br />
over the cities. But the fire came from the Lord out <strong>of</strong> heaven.<br />
Psalm 45:6-7 "Your throne, O God, is forever and ever; A<br />
scepter <strong>of</strong> uprightness is the scepter <strong>of</strong> Your kingdom. You have<br />
loved righteousness and hated wickedness; Therefore God,<br />
Your God, has anointed You With the oil <strong>of</strong> joy above Your<br />
fellows. "<br />
Here God who is God’s God has anointed Him. One to whom<br />
the psalm is addressed and the one who is anointed is anointed<br />
by another person. Evidently the one who is anointed here<br />
refers to Christ.<br />
Isaiah 48:16 Draw near to me, hear this: from the beginning I<br />
have not spoken in secret, from the time it came to be I have<br />
been there." And now the Lord GOD has sent me and his<br />
Spirit.<br />
Here we see three persons: the Lord God who has sent, the one<br />
who was sent and his Spirit.<br />
Hosea 1:7 "But I will have compassion on the house <strong>of</strong> Judah<br />
and deliver them by Yahweh their God, and will not deliver<br />
them by bow, sword, battle, horses or horsemen."<br />
Here the one who speaks is God and he speaks about delivering<br />
by Yahweh their God.<br />
References to the Spirit <strong>of</strong> God is found all over right from the<br />
beginning <strong>of</strong> Genesis. Some special references are found in the<br />
following passages<br />
