TRINITY : M. M. NINAN 5. Old Testament Theophanies Then I heard him speaking, and as I listened to him, I fell into a deep sleep, my face to the ground. SOPHIA Pro. 8: 22-30 "The LORD brought me forth as the first of his works, before his deeds of old; I was appointed from eternity, from the beginning, before the world began. When there were no oceans, I was given birth, when there were no springs abounding with water; before the mountains were settled in place, before the hills, I was given birth, before he made the earth or its fields or any of the dust of the world. I was there when he set the heavens in place, when he marked out the horizon on the face of the deep, when he established the clouds above and fixed securely the fountains of the deep, when he gave the sea its boundary so the waters would not overstep his command, and when he marked out the foundations of the earth. Then I was the craftsman at his side. I was filled with delight day after day, rejoicing always in his presence,rejoicing in his whole world and delighting in mankind” . The Sophia (Wisdom) can be identified as the Spirit of discernment and one who gives life. Here we are told that this Wisdom was with God from the begining, before creation and was involved in the creation process. Yet there is indication that Wisdom proceded from God. LORD SAYS TO MY LORD In Psalm 110, the one who is in a future day to rule in Zion is addressed as a divine personality by another who is also deity. "The Lord says to my Lord," writes David the (7-8) psalmist, "sit at my right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet. The Lord will extend your mighty scepter from Zion; you will rule in the midst of your enemies" (Psalm 110:1-2). Here is one who is "the Lord" speaking to David's Lord and telling him to sit at his right hand until the time comes for him to rule in the midst of some who are now his enemies. Surely the 67
TRINITY : M. M. NINAN 5. Old Testament Theophanies psalm is speaking of two divine personalities, one whom is yet to be Israel's King! "And the Lord shall be king over all the earth" (Zechariah 14:9). "At that time they will call Jerusalem The Throne of the Lord, and all nations will gather in Jerusalem to honor the name of the Lord. No longer will they follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts" (Jeremiah 3:17). SON OF GOD This challenging question is presented to mankind: Pro. 30:4 "Who has gone up to heaven and come down? Who has gathered up the wind in the hollow of his hands? Who has wrapped up the waters in his cloak? Who has established all the ends of the earth? What is his name, and the name of his Son? Tell me if you know!" Does God have a Son? Then in the Psalms we are instructed to Kiss the Son: Psalm 2:11-12 "Serve the Lord with fear and rejoice with trembling. Kiss the Son , lest he be angry and you be destroyed in your way, for his wrath can flare up in a moment. Blessed are all who take refuge in him." The Hebrew for "kiss the Son" is nashqu bar. Some translations puts it as , "Do homage in purity," it will be homage in purity to the Son of God. Thus we notice that we have different forms of revelations of God which can be braodly categorised into three groups. 1. A God who cannot be seen 2. A God who can be seen - mostly in human form yet with glory surrounding befitting God 3. A God who do not have a form yet appears in light, darkness, cloud, fire etc. 68
