Because of the wrong interpretation and concept that were propagated for so long, it is necessary to clarify to whom God spoke at the creation, when He said, “Let us make man in our image …” (Genesis 1: 26). We don’t want the explanation of this statement, we need the unmistakable answer from God’s Word itself. Here the world-wide challenge is given: When and where did one prophet or apostle read or explain a plurality of persons within this text?

In Job 38, from verse 4-7, the Lord asked His servant, “Where wast thou when I (not: we) laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding Who hath laid the measures of it, if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched the line upon it? Whereupon are its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone, when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?” This can be understood by everybody. When God created the earth, all the heavenly hosts were present and shouted for joy. God was not alone, neither was He existing in more than one person. He certainly did not speak to Himself nor to another God, who doesn’t exist. He spoke to the angels, referred to as sons of God, who were present with Him.

In Genesis 11: 7, the Lord spoke again in the plural, “Come, let us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” Again the Lord spoke to those who were around Him. Verse 5 clearly states, “And the Lord came down to see the city …” Over and again He was seen surrounded by the heavenly hosts. The prophet Michah gives a very overwhelming testimony. He states, “I saw the Lord sitting upon his throne, and all the host of heaven standing on his right hand and on his left.” (II Chron. 18: 18). Also in this case, it is very clear to whom the Lord spoke. He could only talk to those heavenly beings who were standing in His presence.

The prophet Isaiah records one of his supernatural experiences, “I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up, and his train filled the temple. Above it stood the seraphim … And one cried unto another, and said, Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of His glory.” (Isaiah 6: 1-3). Such accounts need no further explanation. They are very enlightening. We also see the difference between the angels, who have the shape of a man, and the cherubim and seraphim. These are supernatural beings with wings, praising the Lord at all times. The angels stand before Him; they are ministering spirits (Hebrews 1: 14). They were the ones to whom He spoke in Isaiah 6: 8, “Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” The “us” never was in any connection to any other persons in the Godhead. That is absolutely impossible; even the thought, that God exists in three persons is nothing short of blaspheming His majesty. He is not three beings but one, and He is also not one being with three heads. Neither is He an “economic trinity’”, as modern theologians put it.

God revealed Himself to those who believed in Him. They received His promises and were not left in the darkness about Him. Whether the prophets in the Old Testament or the apostles in the New, not one of them ever had a discussion about God. This started in the third century after Christ, when Greek philosophies and Roman ideas about their gods were brought into apostate Christianity. So-called “scholars” have tried to explain the Godhead according to their traditional imaginations. That is how the trinity-doctrine came into existence. Sad but true, the theology in the churches is based upon what men thought, and not, as generally believed, on the original testimony of the prophets and apostles. The wrong teaching about the Godhead is commonly accepted as the right, and the true knowledge of God is looked upon as being wrong. God is not the way we try to make Him, He simply is as He is. Men make gods, but the Lord remains God, the same, yesterday, today and for ever (Psalms 102: 27; Isaiah 48: 12; Hebrews 13: 8).

God did not multiply Himself, neither did He change. No real Jew could ever accept the idea of a trinity. That is absolutely impossible, because such a thing does not exist in the Holy Scriptures. God only manifests Himself in different ways, according to His great plan.
