#65 Jesus the Creator, Jehovah the Redeemer: Understanding the Holy Trinity

By Jonathan S. Rose

Title: Jesus the Creator, Jehovah the Redeemer

Topic: Trinity/Unity

Summary: We explore the unity and trinity in God--how the "Father" relates to the "Son," the "Word," and the "Holy Spirit." Fairly absurd concrete analogies are brought to bear on these important but mystical truths.

Apocalypse Explained #399

Study this Passage

  
/ 1232  
  

399. (Verse 12) And I beheld when he had opened the sixth seal. That this signifies prediction still further concerning the state of the church, is plain from the signification of opening the seals of the book which was in the Lord's hand, as denoting to reveal things hidden, and to predict things future (concerning which see above, n. 352, 361, 369, 378, 390).
