“In the beginning was the Word and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God” (John 1:1-2). The use of “Word,” “God,” and “He” indicates unity of being One in Three and Three in One and links the attribute of language that is unique to both the Trinity and mankind. This direct link of man with his Creator is further evidenced by the fact that man was created in His image. In the book of John, the “Word” clearly refers to Jesus Christ as evident in the continuation,

In essence, the “Word” manifested in the language goes much further than just a means for communication. God used it as the means to create the world. For example, “God said, ‘Let there be light’; and there was light” (Genesis 1:3). At this moment, the physics and reality of light came into existence. Today, we know that light is a form of energy that can behave like a wave as well as particles or photons. We also know that photons respond to gravitational fields, such as the sun, that can alter its path of travel. Because it is particle-like, it has a speed limit, but no other matter known to man can travel faster than light. All of this came into existence from the Word uttering
the words, “Let there be light.”

On several occasions in Scripture, God refers to Himself as “Us.” In Genesis 1:26, He said, “Let Us make man in Our image, according to Our likeness.” In Genesis 3:22, He said, “Behold, the man has become like one of Us, to know good and evil.” And, Genesis 11:7 states, “Come, let Us go down and there confuse their language, that they may not understand one another’s speech.” The use of the words Our and Us are early indications of the existence of the Trinity of God that later (especially in the New Testament) came to be known as the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit. This concept of the Trinity can be extended further to reflect what was demonstrated in writing about Christ being the Word and the One through whom all things were made (see John 1:1, 10, 14, 17-18). If we take a closer look at this concept, we can see almost limitless evidence of the Trinity in the creation of the world.

Christ, as part of the Trinity, became flesh and took on the image of man who was created in Their image (see Genesis 1:26). The ancient Egyptians believed in the concept of a Trinity and demonstrated it in the architectural designs of the pyramids and in their major towns where they consistently
recognized some kind of a triad even though the Christian Holy Trinity was alien to them. The number “3” was significant to the Egyptians as evident in the three great pyramids of Giza, namely the Great Pyramid of Khufu, the Pyramid of Khafre, and the Pyramid of Menkaure. We witness the Trinity in many other ways:

• In the three main races of the world: Caucasoids, Mongoloids, and Negroids originating from the three children of Noah: Shem, Ham, and Japheth.
• In the three branches of our material world:
  • living things (mammals, fish, and birds; and many of the things they feed on such as trees, plants, and organisms)
  • science (physics, chemistry, and biology)
  • nature (air, water, and land)
• In the human body, mind, and spirit and in the primary functions of seeing, hearing, and feeling.
• In the lifelines of existence: breathing, eating, and drinking.
• In the atom, the fundamental particle of the physical world composed of neutrons, protons, and electrons.
• In the electron composed of particles that are triode in composition known as quasars.
• In the family nucleus: man, woman, and child.
• The Trinity can even be seen in human organizations such as the military in its basic form: Army, Navy, and Air Force (land, sea, and air).
• In the three forces on earth: gravitational, nuclear (weak and strong – fission and fusion), and electromagnetic (including light as particles and/or waves).
