Isaiah 48:12-16 Old Testament Validation of The Trinity NOTICE VERSE 16

"¹²Hearken unto me, O Jacob and Israel, my called; 
I am he; I am the first, I also am the last.

 ¹³Mine hand also hath laid the foundation of the 

earth, and my right hand hath spanned the 

heavens: when I call unto them, they stand up 

together.

 ¹⁴All ye, assemble yourselves, and hear; which 

among them hath declared these things? The LORD 

hath loved him: he will do his pleasure on Babylon, 

and his arm shall be on the Chaldeans.

 ¹⁵I, even I, have spoken; yea, I have called him: 

I have brought him, and he shall make his way 

prosperous.

 ¹⁶Come ye near unto me, hear ye this; I have 

not spoken in secret from the beginning; from 

the time that it was, there am I: and now the 

Lord GOD, and his Spirit, hath sent me."

notice that all the foregoing cannot be said by 

a mere human, Isaiah himself, even at the last, 

the speaker says, "...from the beginning;

from the time that it was, there am I"

http://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Isaiah+48&version=KJV

YHWH is I AM or The Eternal Self Existent One, 

but further, we see "and now the Lord YHWH, 

AND HIS SPIRIT, has sent me."

Now, if this were Isaiah speaking, you still have 

a duality within YHWH you have The Father and 

His Spirit, Who are Both active in sending the 

speaker. ACTION and WILL are not something 

that a mere force does, The Holy Spirit is not a 

mere energy of The Father, because an energy 

is sent, and may trigger other things, but it does 

not send, like an initiator of action. It does not

act, like a person acts.

But to say that Isaiah speaking regarding himself 

says "from the beginning," etc. is to accuse him 

of blasphemy. So the speaker Isaiah quotes, is

YHWH, Who says He is SENT by YHWH and SENT 

by YHWH's SPIRIT.

So we have three YHWHs. But they are all one, 

beyond human comprehension. This idea offends
the sinful pride of the JWs and other heretics,
who do not want to think that anything can be
beyond the reach of human reason. Yet remember,
precisely this line of though has been used to
eliminate the idea of God existing at all, though
it required a lot of irrationality and non-pursuit
of questions of origin beyond some outstanding
point itself still physical and without explanation
for itself, other than, it just is. At that point you
might as well ascribe intelligence, choice, will
etc. to this primordial physical or semi physical
mass, except you can't, all such things incl.
"the physical medium itself" as certain people
are calling the world soul as Plato and hermetists
called it, is manipulatable, and may have some
nature with inclinations, but is not intelligent and
in control. Obviously it cannot be Creator, only
a creature out of which God made everything else.

The word "mystery" is denounced by JWs as pagan,
but the word's usage had to do with rituals and so
forth whose purpose was little understood but
involved a participation in some entity or other,
its more limited sense in English, a great puzzle
you can't figure out much of which, was not the
meaning in "the Mysteries."

Yet The Father is the ground of being of the Other
Two. The Son ETERNALLY without a time before
which He was not, is begotten of The Father.
The All Holy Spirit is ETERNALLY without a time
before which He was not, spirated from The Father.
There is a special mystery regarding The All Holy
Spirit, Whose actions always of The Father and
declaring of the things of The Son, is often so
hidden that He might be mistaken for a force or
energy or action of The Father, but He is in fact
a PERSON, as shown by even the NWT the
Jehovah's Witnesses love so much, which calls
Him "that one" and ascribes action to him.

 "26 When the helper arrives that I will send you from 

the Father, the spirit of the truth, which proceeds from

the Father, that one will bear witness about me;"

http://www.watchtower.org/e/bible/joh/chapter_015.htm

" 7 Nevertheless, I am telling you the truth, It is for 

your benefit I am going away. For if I do not go away, 

the helper will by no means come to you; but if I do go 

my way, I will send him to you.

 8 And when that one arrives he will give the world 

convincing evidence concerning sin and 

concerning righteousness and concerning judgment:" 

"3 However, when that one arrives, the spirit of the 

truth, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not 

speak of his own impulse, but what things he hears 

he will speak, and he will declare to you the things 

coming. 14 That one will glorify me, because he will 

receive from what is mine and will declare it to you. "

http://www.watchtower.org/e/bible/joh/chapter_016.htm

You see? THAT ONE, HE WILL DECLARE, HE

WILL GUIDE, HE HEARS and WILL SPEAK, 

this is said only of a person, not a force. 

The NWT mistranslators failed to tweak this

as well as they tweaked the famous "was God" 

into the infamous "was A god." Perhaps because

it takes more work than just adding something

that wasn't there and going on, it needs such 

a rewrite it couldn't be done without raising 

a red flag that a rewrite had been done.
