darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the
face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light”)
He said the three are together, though they all have their assignment but still in
one unity. Genesis . 11:3 & 6 (“And they said one to another, Go to, let us make
brick ,and burn them thoroughly. And they had brick for stone, and slime they
had for mortar.
And the LORD said, Behold, the people is one, and they have all one language
and this they begin to do: and now nothing will be restrained from them, which
they have imagine to do”
). The SP said that “The people is one” is a mystery. He said they could be many
but purpose made them one. – Unity.
Coming in with different ideas, with one end result in mind. With One language,
nothing can stop us to achieve our goal when we are one. Nehemiah 4:6 (
so built we the wall due to one mind”)
