Here is partly how the evil oneness developed, when the
Gentiles translated the plural word Elohim into their language in antiquity
they translated it Zeus, Deus, Deos, Dios, Theos, Gud, God, and Gott etc..
The plural word became a word denoting singularity. It should be remembered
that Satan is only one person, thus his endeavor to merge plurality into
singularity through translation.
When
Nebuchadnezzar threw Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah into the fiery furnace he
said, "Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they
have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of Elahin." Dan.
3:25
Elahin is
the Chaldean equivalent of Elohim, which most modern translations have
translated as "gods". Proverbs 30:4 also agrees that YAHUSHUA was the Son
of Elohim long before He was born through Mary.
Now
something to think about! When Nebuchadnezzar said, "Son of Elahin", and if
this word is plural, and one is walking in the midst of the fiery furnace is
the Son of Elahin (plural) then who is the other person involved besides the
Father?
Perhaps this
is where the third member of the Elohim comes in, the Holy Spirit.
In the Old Testament the Son acted in the sacred name YAHUWAH
(compare I Corinthians 10:4 with Ex. 17:6). "Go ye therefore, and
teach all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father, and the Son,
and of the Sacred Ghost." Matthew 28:19. Thus, all three act in the one
name. Patrick believed in the Trinity of the sacred name. But the New
Testament in the book of Acts they baptized in the name of YAHUSHUA the
Messiah. They must have understood that the three heavenly dignitaries
acted in the name of YAHUSHUA!
"Then (Elohim) said, 'And now we will make human beings; they
will be like us and resemble us." Gen. 1:26
