The One God - Three in one? (In plain sight - yet out of view) 1 John 5:7 For there are three that bear record in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and these three are one. So let us look up that record in heaven as stated. When considering the symbolic truths revealed by our sun the answer to the above question is made clear. For instance, can anything live on earth without the sun? Or can life on our planet be maintained without the sun? If light is symbolic of 'knowledge' and it is - what is represented as having 'total' knowledge? Not a person on our planet can deny that 'only' God qualifies as the one being symbolically represented by the sun's attributes. One sun - one God - or is there more to this? Corroborating what is represented by our sun - the Bible states the following in the book of Isaiah: Isaiah 46:9-10 Remember the former things of old: for I am God, and there is none else; I am God, and there is none like me, Declaring the end from the beginning, and from ancient times the things that are not yet done, saying, My counsel shall stand, and I will do all my pleasure: Things declared from the beginning - but yet not revealed! Some 700 years after Isaiah's writing a man walked the earth who claimed to be the light of the world. John 8:12 Then spake Jesus again to them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that follows me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. Why would any one make such an outlandish statement, knowing that 'our sun' is the light of the world, unless he was stating a symbolic truth, 'declared from the beginning but not yet revealed' till then. When we note what else he said a more complete picture emerges. John 5:19 Then answered Jesus and said to them, Verily, verily, I say to you, The Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father do: for what things soever he does, these also does the Son likewise.
Question: Can sunlight do anything but what it is directed to do by the sun? Sunlight is the 'offspring' of the sun. We cannot go the sun, i.e. go to God. God comes to us by means of - His Son, i.e. Jesus Christ. John 3:16 For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believes in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. Every person in the world is exposed to sunlight, i.e. everyone has the same access to the Son of God. Revelation 3:20 Behold, I stand at the door, and knock: if any man hear my voice, and open the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me. Sunlight must be invited in, that is why we have windows - hence the Son of God must be invited in. No one has seen the sun - it is hidden behind its light. John 1:18 No man has seen God at any time, the only begotten Son, which is in the bosom of the Father, he has declared him. Although one with the Father - they are not the same as clearly shown by this picture. John 10:30 I and my Father are one. Can one imagine our sun without its light? John 1:1 In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. So what about the religions who do not recognize the Son of God? Consider carefully the following: John 14:6 Jesus said to him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man comes to the Father, but by me. Picture for a moment trying to reach the sun without going through its light - impossible, so also is it impossible as shown by this picture to come to God without His Son. We cannot go to God - He comes to us by means of His Son - Jesus Christ. While sunlight must be invited in - the sun's heat has no such limitation and represents God's drawing love. John 6:44 No man can come to me, except the Father which has sent me draw him:
and I will raise him up at the last day. Note that our heavenly Father honours our free will by drawing - not forcing His will upon mankind. It should not surprise any one that God, i.e. three in one, placed His identity symbolically 'front center' of His creation as symbols are an internationally understood language. What is surprising that this plain truth has escaped us for so long by so many. One explanation may be that instead of looking up we have employed archaeologists. More can be said about the subject but this should suffice to open the eyes of all who can see. By: Anton Hofman - e-mail:
