Please excuse the topic if it seems elementary to you, but I’m trying to wrap my head around a few AHA! moments I’ve had in the last couple of days. These are mainly Trinitarian ahas! which cause a little confusion in my little head :cool:

God the Father, Jesus the Son, and the Holy Spirit are one. I clearly see examples and instances of the Holy Spirit appearing in the Old Testament. Besides prophecies, was Jesus “seen”? In other words, what influence did Jesus the Son have in ancient Israel? Was his influence simply told through the prophecies as the new covenant? Was that his role?

In the New Testament we see the Holy Spirit, God, and Jesus acting together and separately to do His Will. I’m just wondering if I’m looking too hard for the Son in the OT.

Thank you!

Jesus is the promised One in the Old Testament, Emmanuel. You can start with this from Isaiah, and perhaps track forward and back to the promised One, who will redeem Israel, and bring it to its former glory:

usccb.org/nab/bible/isaiah/isaiah9.htm

Please check the footnote for other references in Isaiah.

Good reading!

Peace.

God said, let there be light,
God speaks and creation happens
the second person of the Trinity is the Word
The Word became flesh and dwelt among us.
Whenever in the OT God speaks, Christ is present before the Incarnation.
