God is referred to all three in Isaiah 9:6 when the names credited to the Child to be born are listed, which name the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit.

God is called Elohim in Hebrew, and although it does not name a number, it is plural.

When God, Elohim, created man, He said, "come, let us make man in our image."

When God came down to Abraham before going to smite Sodom and Gomorrah, He came down in the form of three angels, although, if memory serves me, He continued on from Abraham with two Angels.

There are many other references which make reference to God as being Elohim, and not just in one form, yet He is One.

No one will ever truly understand this glorious mystery of our Maker until Jesus (Yeshua) returns, however reading the Old testament we see frequent scripture where Yahweh says, "I am you Salvation.." "I am your husband." "I am your King." These alone are enough to understand that Jesus Christ is the Father, thought while He walked His earth until HIs crucifixion, He thought it nothing to not have God's powers, for He was Human to save us. He knew and overcame every temptation known to mankind in order to qualify Himself to judge and to forgive all mankind, although it was always His riight. What a wonderful Savior have we! He is glorious always amen.


Where in the Old Testament is Yahweh explicitly
referred to as triune?
