The "US" in Genesis

[ggamble]

Seeking Him in the Word,

From the beginning to the end,  Father, Son, Holy Ghost    US

Genesis 1:26 ***  And God said, Let Us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth.  {KJV}

Genesis 11:7 ***  Go to, let Us go down, and there confound their language, that they may not understand one another's speech.   {KJV}

John 1:1-2 ***  In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. The same was in the beginning with God.   {KJV}

John 1:14 ***  And the Word was made flesh, and dwelt among us, (and we beheld His glory, the glory as of the only begotten of the Father) full of mercy and truth.  {KJV}

Hebrews 13:8 *** Jesus Christ is the same yesterday, and to day, and forever.  {KJV}

Revelation 1:8 *** I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the ending, saith the Lord, which is, and which was, and which is to come, the Almighty.  {KJV}

                                           What else do you make of the "US" in Genesis?

The "US"   in Genesis, shows He was there, along with the Father, and the Holy Ghost. You can see the "US" in the other verses also.

Thanks for your post, ggamble! Also, I found it very interesting to read about the different Hebrew names translated as "God" in Genesis.

I read somewhere that, up until the second chapter, every time "God" appears, it is the word "Elohim" (which, like "cherubim" or "seraphim", is a plural term - I guess Elohim means "Plural God"?).

In chapter 1 verse 27, "And God created man...in the image of God created he him," the translation could possibly read, "And the Word of Yahweh created man...in the image of Elohim created he him."

Throughout most of chapter 2, the name translated as "God" is "Yahweh Elohim", or "Lord God".

Yahweh, literally "I Am", is the name given by God to Moses, and several times in the New Testament Jesus refers to himself as "I am".

Here is a link to a "sample" of a Hebrew Roots version of Genesis (or, Beregotcha2h). Its basically a King James version with Hebrew names.

    Willow.it means that Elohiim has more than one personage,
  like in you and I.We have a BODY,SOUL and SPIRIT,but still
  one,with three personages.

I know. Isn't it wonderful?

This plural "Elohim" is in this verse: "Behold, O Israel, the Lord your God [Elohim], the Lord is one"
