One God, Three Entities Part One
Editor’s Note: In studying the Old Testament, many people ask, “What does the Hebrew actually say?” This article is the first in a series that confirms the existence of a single, triune God based on the Hebrew Scriptures. The author, Meno Kalisher, is a native Israeli who lives in Jerusalem and is the senior pastor of the Jerusalem Assembly House of Redemption.

I have been Bar-Mitzvahed and confirmed ias a Jew and currently am studying the Bible from Genesis through Revelations. I study with the Jehovah Witnesses; however, I profess NO religion, but only to know my Lord, Our Lord and Maker. It seems to me blasphemous that mankind has taken more lives in the name of God than for any other purpose. Yet it shows HOW IMPORTANT mankind feels about his maker. Christianity uses the Trinity to explain the Lord being one, and to which I feel somewhat partial towards; although the Lord, Jehovah, as a spiritual, SINGLE entity is common to both Judaism and the former said Christian religions. Probably all of the sects. Though I know better than to profess that I truly know. Christ, the Messiah, and in human form certainly is another; however, my take on the Messiah is that He is representing the truly highest spiritual man—- a goal for any and all of each man an woman. This being said, the Christ is, in my opinion, a first creation of the Lord, and representing the truly Divine being, and one so touched that He gave His life to save the rest of us in a quest for mankind’s hope to attain true knowledge of the Bible so that we might have a chance to Be forever, in the heart of Jehovah, and to take up residence here upon this Earth, or, and again, in my opinion, as possible residence on a new Earth that exists elsewhere, and at a time when disease as death shall be no more and conquerable, and through our GOD GIVEN brains which might enlighten us on these matters on how to do so with the help of the one Jehovah and his infinite wisdom, guidance and power. Which IS the third “entity”…. His enlightenment and POWER to do thes things… known as Holy Spirit. But than again, who am I to ramble on about such matters that are kept from even the most powerful and the most enlightened persons on this planet? Jehovah’s active force went “to and fro” creating us as well as the entire universe. His Holy Spirit, his ACTIVE TANGIBLE force. I believe that we were made for him. In fact every time any of us speaks to Him, an area in our frontal cortex in each one of our brains “lights up”, almost as if we are ALL hard-wired and MADE TO PRAY TO HIM. I have considered knowing all, being everywhere, and existing forever. And one who truly believes and considers forever? Better have companionship. Both divine and somewhat equal who lives eternally (as I believe Christ is), and creations who have the freedom to do as they choose. For wouldn’t it be terrible to exist forever and have nothing to keep you on your toes. Without free will, Jehovah would know everything, and might He have created us to literally have that free will? That way our love can surprise Him and cause Him to be happy. And those who commit the most heinous of sins can have the chance to repent and know him and quite possibly be a source of satisfaction for Him? Again, I have no idea as to the truest nature of anything. But it is always a blessing to think and to love my Creator.
Eager to know “the wholeness I sometimes refer to as “Pappa”
I have struggled with this concept for most of my life. For the last 10 years, I have been diligently seeking confirmation and clarity of the Triune God. Seeing the Hebrew explained here is enormously helpful and reassuring for my faith. Thank you ever so much!
Thank You for this eye-opening article.
Is wonderful to read articles about the Bible from native Hebrew-speaking writers.
