Third Person Plural: The Threeness of God

To understand the Trinity one must think in terms of three dimensions of existence; dimensions that include eternity-past, earth time-present, and eternity-present/future. The reason is because God the Son is identified in all three dimensions by different terminology, e.g., God; the Word of God; the Son of God; Jesus of Nazareth and Melchizedek. When God the Son was in the Father (John 1:1), He was the Word of God; when the Word of God came out of the Father to stand at the Father's side, He was identified as the Only begotten (Son) of God (John 1:2,18); when God the Word came to earth, he was clearly identified as the One and Only Son of God (John 3:16). Therefore, in eternity-past, when the Son of God created Heaven and the Universe, clearly, He was not the man Jesus of Nazareth; however, in sequential time events, when the Son of God left Heaven to inhabit a human body, He was identified as the God-man, Jesus of Nazareth, and later was identified with Melchizedek as the eternal Priest of God Most High (Heb.7). All three dimensions involve(ed) sequential events, so that the Son of God is clearly manifested in each dimension to indicate His preexistent mission and work throughout eternity-past/present, present-time and eternity-future.
