Only in Victor Alexander’s translation:
I do not find the word ‘faces’ in other translations of Exodus 3: 6. It is most interesting that Moses saw three faces of God:
The God of Abraham,
The God of Isaac,
The God of Jacob.
Each was a "face" of God? My allegorical-leaning mind likens Abraham to
the Merciful Father, Isaac to Elohim/Allaha (the e’had of spirits in
“heaven”), and Jacob to the inner spirit in man who is God enlivening the physical
body. Moses saw the oneness of God, all the faces united.
Kind of reminds one of the Trinity, does it not?
I know Victor doesn’t buy into my esoteric fantasy, but it is
interesting and only possible to be understood in Alexander’s
translation.
God spoke to me audibly, so I set out to find what he has said to other people. I found he is in constant transition becoming himself MANIFESTED, and there is nothing other than himself, which makes him us and we him in the process of becoming him. The processes involved in his becoming are complicated to us, but he knows exactly what he is doing and lets us know. Thus I have learned to read the Bible a bit differently than others, and am here trying to get us in sync with his program.
Discovering that God is real and the world is per the Bible (Spirit based, not matter based), I realized everything I thought I knew--my whole secular and religious worldviews--were wrong! Studying the Bible in light of the God I discovered, I have found that most things taught about it are wrong, too. God is right, and the Bible was originally, too, but it has been edited, corrupted, falsified, mistranslated, misread and misinterpreted to mitigate our understanding of its message of oneness. "God is One," includes YOU!!!
