01. Preface

Preface. The humble object of this little book is to prove that our sages of blessed memory, long before the Christian era, held that there was a plurality in the Godhead. Indeed, this teaching was held for yet 100 years after the destruction of the second temple, and, as it was contained and declared in the Holy Scriptures, it was also set forth in our most ancient books, as the reader will see from quotations given in these pages. The quotations from the Holy Scriptures, the Aramaic Paraphrases and other ancient writings of the sages, have been given in the original Hebrew Aramaic tongues in which they were originally framed, this that the reader may be able to judge for himself of the faithfulness of these quotations. The translation, joined to these quotations, is meant to enable those who are not conversant with the ancient languages to see that the good news of fulfillment teaches nothing but that which was revealed beforehand in the Holy Scriptures or promise. The author of this little book would desire to ask of the reader that he bear in mind the fact that the Holy Scriptures, and nothing but the Holy Scriptures are the foundation to which he holds and upon which he claims that the Holy One, Blessed be He, is a divine and wonderful Tri-unity. Quotations from human writings, however old, venerable and reliable, are only presented in order to show my beloved brethren of Israel how inconsistent they are to reject such a thought regarding our great God and Saviour, while professing — as they do — to follow closely after their forefather, who, it is here proved, believed this whole-heartedly.
