Great question. I always liked the water, ice and steam description.
One material 3 forms, //
Thanks
for the post. I had never before heard of the very apt parallel of
the solid, liquid, and gaseous states of a single molecular
structure.
The
parallel positions of the Three Persons with this molecular state
triad may be difficult to discern at first.
But
it is a parallel that I have long contemplated, with advantages, in
connection with three of the four philosophic substances - earth,
water, air, fire.
The
Holy Spirit is to be connected to solids. It is He who
personally indwells the body of every believer. He represents the
immanent aspect of deity, sustaining the entire created universe. In
Him all men live and move and have their being.
The
Father, representing God as the Father of spirits (including
both all men's original-soon-fallen human spirits and the
begotten-again human spirits of believers, as well as angelic
beings), is to be associated with the gaseous state. (With air and
outer space more than water vapor, but all parallels have their
limitations. They are not identities.) His dwelling is in the third
heaven, beyond the heaven of clouds and the heaven of stars, sun,
moon and planets. He represents the transcendent aspect of deity -
separate from the created universe - representing special superlative
form of separateness or holiness.
The
Son is to be associated with the liquid state. The redemptive
power of God is in His Blood. The spirit and the Bride cry "Come!".
All who hear and are athirst and who are willing to come to Him and
to drink may be saved eternally by the Water of Life.
