Proto-Trinity
By Peter Leithart
Yahweh places words in the mouths of prophets through His Spirit.
Sometimes, though, the words that He places there are spoken back to Him. Inspired by the Spirit, the prophet becomes part of an internal conversation within Yahweh.
Hence: Yahweh, Spirit, and Prophet = Father, Spirit, Son.
