How Many Gods? Who is the God of this universe? Are there any more like Him? There are demons who pretend to be God. Satan or Lucifer really wants to take God’s place - to be God (Isaiah 14:12, 14). The prophet Isaiah tells us who the real God is. In Isa. 43:1 the God of the Bible is talking. He tells us that He is the one who created us. In Isa. 43:10 we discover that no other god existed before Him, and no other god will exist after Him. There is no God but Himself. This eliminates the idea of many gods. What do the following verses reveal about God?


	9.		(Isaiah 43:10)
	10.		(Isaiah 44:6, 8)
	11.		(Isaiah 45:5)
	12.		(Isaiah 45:21)

Finally, in Isaiah 48:12 He again refers to Himself as the “First and the Last” (see Isa. 44:6) and then in Isaiah 48:16 we read,

“Come near to Me, listen to this: From the first I have not spoken in secret, From the time it took place, I was there. And now the Lord GOD has sent Me, and His Spirit.” (NASB)

Here we discover that this God was sent by the Lord GOD. Who is the Lord GOD? Whoever He is, He also sent the Holy Spirit. Now remember that this God has said there is only one God and it is He! According to the New Testament, the Holy Spirit is also God (Acts 5:3-4). We do not have three Gods. We have three persons who are together one God. Isaiah 6:3 tells us an angel referred to God with “Holy, holy, holy . . .” Genesis 1:26 tells us that God, in a conversation with Himself, said, “let us . . .” Yet the great SHEMA of Deuteronomy 6:4 says,

“The LORD is our God, the LORD is one!” (NASB) Deuteronomy 6:4

This is wonderful because the Hebrew word for LORD is Jehovah, and the Hebrew word for God is ELOHIM. ELOHIM is plural and so refers to a plural god. Now rewrite Deut 6:4 by replacing LORD and God with the meaning of the Hebrew words,

The UNKNOWN GOD is a plural-one. The Bible teaches that God is a Trinity without using the term. The dictionary says that trinity means three fold. The New Testament agrees with Isaiah 48:16 and clearly tells us who is included in the Trinity. In the blanks below, write the names of the persons of the Trinity in the order in which they are written:

13.		(Matt. 28:19)
14.		(1 Peter 1:2)
15.	Who always occurred first?
