God the Illeist: Third-Person Self-References and Trinitarian Hints in the Old Testament

God the Illeist: Third-Person Self-References and Trinitarian Hints in the Old Testament

  • Semi-Technical
  • Andrew S. Malone

This article reflects on attempts to discover hints of the Trinity in the Old Testament. Many scholars continue to promote the so-called “two Gods texts" as demonstrating something of the Old Testament plurality of God. Justin Martyr is an early exponent of a Trinitarian interpretation of such texts: 2 Samuel 7:11, Amos 4:11, Hosea 1:7, Zechariah 1:17, and Malachi 3:1. This article surveys these texts and their interpreters and continues by suggesting ways to interpret them.

Believers are not hired servants, supporting themselves by their own work, but children maintained at Father’s expense. Horatius Bonar
