Adam, Noah, Abraham: Father, Son, Spirit

Book excerpt: The first three major patriarchs-Adam, Noah, and Abraham-herald the first three millennia of creation in a progressive revelation of the Trinity that represents a first stanza in the threefold movement of our salvation. The accounts of their offspring form a refrain echoing the fundamental Messianic bloodline just as the song we sing in this life is an echoing of the heavenly host. And the story of redemption is ultimately heard not only in the lives of individuals but also in the natural history of creation. The fractal rhythms of reality are rising inexorably unto the end times of the present life in a vital convergence of prophecy and history-representing a triune sanctification of creation, including time itself, in the one Body of Christ. And the very good creation will finally be conformed with the perfect image of God. The Trinity is the paradigm of creation, the shape of our salvation, and the mode of our prayer. Accordingly the Trinity is our hermeneutics-our way to read and understand the Word of God, likewise the creation by God. Visit www.RexFrost.com for more information.
