738. He is called 'a son of six hundred years' here because, as shown already, 'son' means intellectual truth. He is not however referred to as a son in verse 11 below because there the subject is his temptation as regards things of the will.

#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.
