D11 - YHWH the Triune Godhead

  'Detestable Last 30 years'

Triune Godhead Revealed
1 John 5:7  For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three (Trinity) are one. (KJV)
   The Lord God Almighty who created the heavens and the earth known as YHWH (Yahweh, Jehovah, Elohim) the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob is One. He reveals Himself to man as the Triune Godhead, so that we can appreciate and learn from the perfect love displayed in the harmonious relationships of the Father, the Word and the Holy Spirit.
Isa 48:16  "Come near to Me, hear this: I have not spoken in secret from the beginning; from the time that it was, I was there. And now the Lord God and His Spirit have sent Me."

Trinity in Creation
Gen 1:2-3  The earth was without form, and void; and darkness was on the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. Then God said, "Let there be light"; and there was light.
    In the OT, we can see the Triune Godhead working together in Genesis as the Spirit of God, the Father (God) and the spoken Word of God.
Gen 1:26a  Then God said, "Let Us (Trinity) make man in Our (Trinity) image, according to Our (Trinity) likeness; "

Mat 28:19  "Go therefore  and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit,"
    After the Word was made flesh at the first advent of Jesus, God reveals Himself as 3 persons in the Triune Godhead - the Father, the Son (Word) and the Holy Spirit (Helper) so that we can learn from Him how to be a loving father, an obedient son and a helper or comforter to others.

Father's Love and Protection
   From the OT, we have a fair knowledge of His attributes of love, mercy, provision, delivery, salvation, teaching, protection, healing, comfort and care.
    A good, holy and faithful Father whose unfailing love and great patience blesses His children by teaching and helping them to reject and overcome sin, walk in righteousness, live in holiness and partake of Jesus' sufferings until they achieve perfection.
    Whoever comprehends and practices God's perfect love, he too will be able to find the unity and harmony within his own family and also in the family of God.
    From the OT, many cannot understand God, who seemed cruel and unreasonable for wiping out many nations, till we see Jesus protecting His people from being destroyed by deceptions, idolatry and abominable practices of the wolves and the wicked.
    For Jesus cursed the depraved and covetous Jewish leaders who were wolves in sheepskin and hypocrites for they were the devil's agents out to destroy the faith of His people and lead them to damnation.
Note remove all wolves from your chat groups and churches.
Mat 23:13-14  "But woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you shut up the kingdom of heaven against men; for you neither go in yourselves, nor do you allow those who are entering to go in."

Jesus as the Son
Phi 2:5,8  Let this mind be in you which was also in Christ Jesus... And being found in appearance as a man, He humbled Himself and became obedient to the point of death, even the death of the cross.
    As Son, Jesus obeyed the Father even in the horrific death on the cross.
    Similar, as God's children, we must obey Him by keeping His commandments.

Holy Spirit as the Helper
John 14:15-17a  "If you love Me, keep My commandments. And I will pray the Father, and He will give you another Helper, that He may abide with you forever— the Spirit of truth...
    God sent the Spirit of truth as a Helper to teach and guide us into all truth so that we are free from all worldly fears and bondages, and to help us overcome the deceptions and temptations of the evil one.
John 16:13-14  "However, when He, the Spirit of truth, has come, He will guide you into all truth; for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come."
