THE GODHEAD.

There are three persons in the Godhead—the Father, Son and Holy Ghost represented by the names Eloheim, Yahova and Michael.

Now, as we view it, the father of Adam is Eloheim, Adam is his Son, who was Michael, and the Holy Ghost was Yahova. In this placing them, we have two persons with bodies, the Father and Son. “Let us make man in our image.” Then here is the Father and Son, and one personage of spirit, Yahova or the Holy Ghost. If Yahova is Christ, as some way, then we have got three persons, one father and two sons, and either no Holy Ghost, or there will be four persons, three with bodies and one a personage of spirit, without a name. If Eloheim is the Holy Ghost, then who is the Father? If Michael is the Holy Ghost, then who is Adam? And if Yahova is Christ, Michael is Adam and Eloehim the father. Then we have got no Holy Ghost, if there are only three persons in the Godhead. So it seems to us that the former version of the Godhead is the most consistent, and only one that satisfies our reason, which to be convinced must be satisfied.

We understand that in the creating, peopling, subduing, redeeming, and saving of all worlds, there has to be these three persons, which compose the Godhead, all the planets in this planetary system have our Eloehim for a father, and one of our uncles, or a brother to Michael, who is an Adam to his planet, and Yahova, who is the Holy Ghost, forming the God head to the particular planet, and so on with each planet in our system, Eloheim being the head God, of all those Gods, or sons of God, whom he, Eloheim, anoints with the oil of gladness, above the inhabitants, or their Adam’s children, who is the mediator between the children and his father, their grand-father, who has a father still above him; as this face exists that where there is one spirit there is also one still above it, and so on, according to the sayings of God, I the Pearl of Great Price, “And if two spirits exist, one more intelligent then the other, they had no beginning; they existed before; do now exist, and will exist, after, and are ganolium or eternal.”

The inspired hymn, “Sons of Michael,” in one verse says; “Rise, the eternal father greet,” and says that Eve, the mother of our generation, glorious by great Michael’s side, will preside as such with him eternally; and the hymn “Come to Me” says:

Here’s the mystery that man hath not seen

Here’s our father in Heaven and Mother, the Queen

(Meaning Adam and Eve.)

All things that were in the bosom of God, before the world was, and have been continued through his children. Eternity, endless, is beckoning us on form a small degree to a greater, from exaltation to exaltation, the same as all Gods have done before; namely, going from one small degree to a greater, and from a small capacity to a greater one, from grace to grace, from exaltation to exaltation, until we attain to the resurrection of the dead, and are able to live and dwell in everlasting burnings, and to sit in glory as do those who sit enthroned in everlasting power.
