§1138"Recapitulated in Christ," these are the ones who take part in the service of the praise of God and the fulfillment of his plan: the heavenly powers, all creation (the four living beings), the servants of the Old and New Covenants (the twenty-four elders), the new People of God (the one hundred and forty-four thousand),4 especially the martyrs "slain for the word of God," and t…
§2809The holiness of God is the inaccessible center of his eternal mystery. What is revealed of it in creation and history, Scripture calls "glory," the radiance of his majesty.68 In making man in his image and likeness, God "crowned him with glory and honor," but by sinning, man fell "short of the glory of God."69 From that time on, God was to manifest his holiness by revealing and…
1. God will not have us listen to the words and sentences contained in the Scriptures carelessly, but with much attention. This is why the blessed David has prefixed in many places to his Psalms the title for understanding, and has said, Open Thou my eyes, that I may behold wondrous things out of Your Law. Psalm 32:42, etc.; Psalm 119:18 And after him his son again shows that w…
In the year that king Uzziah died I saw also the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up. The vision of the divine majesty which Isaiah received at his calling is one of the most sublime passages in all of Scripture. The seraphim cry "Holy, holy, holy" — the threefold repetition pointing to the three persons of the Trinity. Isaiah's cry "Woe is me! for I am undone" shows…
Chapter 1. On God. 1. I know that some will attempt to say that, even according to the declarations of our own Scriptures, God is a body, because in the writings of Moses they find it said, that our God is a consuming fire; and in the Gospel according to John, that God is a Spirit, and they who worship Him must worship Him in spirit and in truth. Fire and spirit, according to t…
Does prophecy pertain to knowledge? Is it a habit? Is it only about future contingencies? Does a prophet know all possible matters of prophecy? Does a prophet distinguish that which he perceives by the gift of God, from that which he perceives by his own spirit? Can anything false be the matter of prophecy? Article 1. Whether prophecy pertains to knowledge? Objection 1. It woul…
Neither confounding the persons nor dividing the substance. For there is one person of the Father, another of the Son, and another of the Holy Spirit. But the Godhead of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit is all one, the glory equal, the majesty coeternal. Such as the Father is, such is the Son, and such is the Holy Spirit. The Father uncreated, the Son uncreated, t…
We believe that there is one, and only one, living and true God, an infinite, intelligent Spirit, whose name is Jehovah, the Maker and Supreme Ruler of heaven and earth; inexpressibly glorious in holiness, and worthy of all possible honor, confidence, and love; that in the unity of the Godhead there are three persons, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, equal in every divi…
Basil defends the doxology "Glory to the Father WITH the Son, TOGETHER WITH the Holy Spirit" as reflecting the co-equal dignity of all three Persons. The seraphim cry "Holy, holy, holy" — a threefold ascription to the one God. The heavenly worship in Isaiah and Revelation models the worship the church owes to the Trinity.
