THE GODHEAD -- Continues

As we continue reading the scriptures we only read about two that are in the Godhead. We know that one is Jehovah, who is God Almighty, and the other is Jesus. The world has no knowledge of the Godhead, because they do not know which became the Father and which became the Son. Just from reading the scriptures, you know that Jehovah is not the Father. So, what is the Father's name?


We read in John 5;43, that He came in the Father's name. Turn to John 17:1-6, here we see Jesus praying to the Father, asking for the glory that He had with Him--not them--before the world was; telling Him (the Father) that He (Jesus) had revealed His (the Father's) name to His servants. Now what name did Jesus manifest to His servants and disciples? Was it Jehovah?


Read John 17:20-22, Jesus tells us that He and the Father are one; that we must become one, which means that they are in complete agreement. Have you noticed that you still only see two--Father and Son--not three. Read John 17:25-26, Jesus tells the Father that He declared His name (the Father's name) and will declare it. The only name given in the New Testament whereby men might be saved is Jesus. This is the only name that Jesus revealed.


In Acts 4:10-18, Peter tells the High priest that Jesus has become our salvation. Now, we know that, Jehovah became flesh to die for our sins. He could not die if He was in a spirit body, spirits do not die. Turn to Isaiah 57:15, we read where the High and Lofty One whose name is Holy (Jehovah), says he dwells with Him (Jesus) in the High and Holy Place (Heaven). He did not say He "dwells with them", but Him.


Let us examine these two.

In Colossians 3:1, we see Christ sitting on the right hand of God. In Psalms 110:1, we read of the Lord talking to His Lord. How many do you see? Let's continue this journey through the scriptures, to see if we can find the "trinity".

We found two--Jesus and Jehovah, but where is the third one and what is his name? In 1 John 5:7, we read of three that bare record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost, and these three are one. In 1 John 5:10, we read that God gave the record to His Son. Now turn to John 14:26, we read that Jesus will send the Comforter, which is the Holy Ghost that will be sent in His (Jesus') name. In John 15:26, we see that the Comforter, (Holy Ghost/Spirit) is also called the Spirit of Truth. In John 16:12-15, we read that the Spirit of Truth shall not speak of Himself, but whatsoever He shall hear, that shall He speak: He will show you things to come. He shall glorify the Son (Jesus) for He shall receive it from the Son, who received it from the Father (God).

Turn to Revelation 1:1, we see the three that bear record in heaven. God (the Father), gave record to Jesus (the Son), who gave it to His Angel (the Holy Ghost/Spirit), who came down and gave it to John.


THESE ARE THE THREE THAT BEAR RECORD IN HEAVEN.

Some say that the Holy Ghost is part of the Godhead, but we will let the scriptures tell us who he is; what his name is and what job he does. We know that it is the Holy Spirit, "that bears record in heaven" with the Father and Son, and is in Their presence. Let us see who this Spirit is. Turn to Luke 1:6-19, where we read of an Angel coming to Zacharias and telling him that he would have a son, and to name him John. He also told him that he is "Gabriel, who stands in the presence of God, and am sent to show thee glad tidings".

Wait a minute, did he say he was sent? Did we not read in John 16:12-25 how the Spirit of Truth was sent? So now we know the Comforter's name. But just in case you still have doubts, let's go to the last book of the Bible.

In Revelation 21:2-3, we see New Jerusalem coming down out of heaven. Skip down to verse :22, we see God and the Lamb. Where is the third one in the Godhead. Let's turn to the last chapter of the last book, Revelation 22:3-6. Here we read about the throne of God and of the Lamb--still just two--And they shall reign forever and ever, "and the Lord God of the Holy Prophets sent His Angel to show His servants things which must shortly be done". This is the same Angel in John 16:12-25.



Now, all you see is two in the Godhead--the Father, whose name is Jesus; Jehovah, who became the Son and was given the name of the Father when He became flesh, and the Holy Spirit whose name is Gabriel, an Angel--the Messenger of God.
