Father, Son and Holy Spirit

Jesus is the Father, Son, and the Holy Spirit. 

Jesus is the Son of his Father.

Matt 16:16 Simon Peter answered, "You are the Christ, the Son of the living God." 17 Jesus replied, "Blessed are you, Simon son of Jonah, for this was not revealed to you by man, but by my Father in heaven. NIV

Jesus is OUR Father

We are the fourth generation promised to Abraham, following his Generations.

Gen 15:16 In the fourth generation your descendants will come back here, for the sin of the Amorites has not yet reached its full measure. NIV

When you follow the generations, Jesus is first in line as our father, the son of David, the son of Abraham.

Matt 1:1 A record of the genealogy of Jesus Christ the son of David, the son of Abraham:

17 Thus there were

fourteen generations in all from Abraham to David,

fourteen from David to the exile to Babylon,

and fourteen from the exile to the Christ. NIV

Jesus is the Promised Holy Spirit.

John 20:21 Again Jesus said, "Peace be with you! As the Father has sent me, I am sending you." 

22 And with that he breathed on them and said, "Receive the Holy Spirit. NIV

The cloud

The cloud represents concealment.

No one recognized Jesus as the promised Messiah, as he walked among the people of Israel, as if hidden by a cloud. Christ returned in the cloud as the Holy Spirit. He was the deposit, guaranteeing our inheritance.

The son who rises in our hearts. He continues operating from the cloud.

John 3:7 You should not be surprised at my saying, 'You must be born again.' 8 The wind blows wherever

it pleases. You hear its sound, but you cannot tell where it comes from or where it is going. So it is with

everyone born of the Spirit." NIV

John 16:7 But I tell you the truth: It is for your good that I am going away. Unless I go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. 8 When he comes, he will convict the world of guilt in regard to sin and righteousness and judgment: 9 in regard to sin, because men do not believe in me; 10 in regard to righteousness, because I am going to the Father, where you can see me no longer; 11 and in regard to judgment, because the prince of this world now stands condemned. NIV

Acts 1:1 In my former book, Theophilus, I wrote about all that Jesus began to do and to teach 2 until the day he was taken up to heaven, after giving instructions through the Holy Spirit to the apostles he had chosen. 3 After his suffering, he showed himself to these men and gave many convincing proofs that he was alive. He appeared to them over a period of forty days and spoke about the kingdom of God.

4 On one occasion, while he was eating with them, he gave them this command: "Do not leave Jerusalem, but wait for the gift my Father promised, which you have heard me speak about. 5 For John baptized with water, but in a few days you will be baptized with the Holy Spirit."   

6 So when they met together, they asked him, "Lord, are you at this time going to restore the kingdom to Israel?" 7 He said to them: "It is not for you to know the times or dates the Father has set by his own authority. 8 But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit comes on you; and you will be my witnesses in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and to the ends of the earth."

9 After he said this, he was taken up before their very eyes, and a cloud hid him from their sight. 10 They were looking intently up into the sky as he was going, when suddenly two men dressed in white stood beside them.

11 "Men of Galilee," they said, "why do you stand here looking into the sky? This same Jesus, who has been taken from you into heaven, will come back in the same way you have seen him go into heaven." NIV

Acts 2:32 God has raised this Jesus to life, and we are all witnesses of the fact. 33 Exalted to the right hand of God, he has received from the Father the promised Holy Spirit and has poured out what you now see and hear. NIV

2 Cor 1:21 Now it is God who makes both us and you stand firm in Christ. He anointed us, 22 set his seal of ownership on us, and put his Spirit in our hearts as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come. NIV

Eph 4:7 But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. 8 This is why it says: "When he ascended on high, he led captives in his train and gave gifts to men." NIV

Rev 10:1 Then I saw another mighty angel coming down from heaven. He was robed in a cloud, with a rainbow above his head; his face was like the sun, and his legs were like fiery pillars. NIV

Rev 14:14 I looked, and there before me was a white cloud, and seated on the cloud was one "like a son of man" with a crown of gold on his head and a sharp sickle in his hand. NIV

Job 37:13 He brings the clouds to punish men, or to water his earth and show his love. NIV

Job 22:14 Thick clouds veil him, so he does not see us as he goes about in the vaulted heavens.' NIV

Referring to Jesus among his people.
