involves movement over time,
yet God is eternal and does not change as men do. Our very salvation
is dependent upon God's unchanging nature, for His faithfulness is
based upon His being the same yesterday, today, and tomorrow.
    "God is not a man, that He should lie, nor a son of man, that
He should repent; has He said, and will He not do it? Or has He
spoken, and will He not make it good?" (Numbers 23:19)
    What is the solid foundation of God's trustworthiness? He is God, not
man. Man lies. Man changes his mind. Man says many things but
cannot fulfill his promises. But God is not man. There is a fundamental
distinction between God and man on the level of being. The same
theme is struck many centuries later in Hosea:
    I will not execute My fierce anger; I will not destroy Ephraim
again. For I am God and not man, the Holy One in your midst,
and I will not come in wrath. (Hosea 11:9)
    CREATOR OF ALL
    The Scriptures claim that since God is Creator, He must, of necessity, be the only true God. It's an obvious conclusion: if God made
everything, and is himself not dependent upon anything else, then any
other "god" that might exist would have to be dependent upon Him
and, therefore, would not be true deity.
    By the word of the LORD the heavens were made, and by the
breath of His mouth all their host.... For He spoke, and it was
done; He commanded, and it stood fast. (Psalm 33:6, 9)
    All that exists-heaven and earth being exhaustive, in Hebrew thought, of creation itself-does so because God made it.

    "Who has performed and accomplished it, calling forth the
generations from the beginning? I, the LORD, am the first, and with
the last. I am He" (Isaiah 41:4).
    God created all things, including "the generations." The Eternal One,
Yahweh, the first and the last, is the Lord of time itself. Later in the
same chapter God mocks the idols who do not exist beyond the realm
of time as He does. He challenges them to do two things that only the
true God can do to perfection. One is easy to see: tell us the future.
This is a common challenge, one God can fulfill because He created
time and is not limited to it. Secondly, God asks the idols to tell us
what has taken place in the past, and, even more importantly, the purpose of what happened. It is one thing to recount past events as a historian, but to know why they happened-only the Sovereign Lord of
eternity itself can do that. He challenges all would-be gods:
    Let them bring forth and declare to us what is going to take
place; as for the former events, declare what they were, that we may
consider them and know their outcome. Or announce to us what
is coming; declare the things that are going to come afterward, that
we may know that you are gods; indeed, do good or evil, that we
may anxiously look about us and fear together. Behold, you are of
no account, and your work amounts to nothing; he who chooses
you is an abomination. (Isaiah 41:22-24)
    We worship the very Lord of time and space itself, the Creator of
both. He alone made the heavens and the earth:
    Thus says the LORD, your Redeemer, and the one who formed
you from the womb, "I, the LORD, am the maker of all things,
stretching out the heavens by Myself and spreading out the earth
all alone" (Isaiah 44:24).
    For thus says the LORD, who created the heavens (He is the God
who formed the earth and made it, He established it and did not
create it a waste place, but formed it to be inhabited), "I am the LORD, and there is none else" (Isaiah 45:18).

    There is none else. No other God, no other deity, no other Savior. One
God, absolute, eternal, Creator of all things.
    The doctrine of the Trinity is based upon this firm foundation. We
are no proclaimers of a plurality of gods. We have no allegiance but to
the same God who appeared to Moses in the burning bush. The Trinity
in no way, shape, or form compromises this fundamental truth-it
does, however, fulfill it, bring it to full realization, and reveal to
