The Three Fold Nature of the Universe.

It never ceases to amaze me how amazing God is in designing the structure of the Universe He created. Just as God is one in three persons, the Universe is one in three parts so many times it staggers the mind. Here are just some of the ones I could think of quickly. If you think of more I'd love to hear of them so I can develop an extensive list.

Even our sinful behavior has three parts, thought, emotion, action.

Nathan R Wood explores this in his book (now out of print) "The Trinity in the Universe" Published in 1978 and reprinted in 1984 by Kriegel Publications. Here is a paragraph that shows the connection between time and the God who made it. Note it reads with perfect logic with time (past, present and future) or God (Father, Son, and Holy Spirit).

Time reflects the Trinity

The Future (Father) is the source. The Future (Father) is unseen, unknown, except as it continually embodies itself and makes itself visible in the Present (Son). The Present (Son) is what we see, and hear, and know. It is ceaselessly embodying the Future (Father), day by day, hour by hour, moment by moment. It is perpetually revealing the Future (Father), hitherto invisible.

The Future (Father) is logically first, but not chronologically. For the Present (Son) exists as long as Time (God) exists, and was in the absolute beginning of Time (God). It makes itself visible only in the Present (Son). The Future (Father) acts, and reveals itself, through the Present (Son). It is through the Present (Son) that Time (God), that the Future (Father), enters into union with human life. Time (God) and humanity Meet and unite in the Present (Son). It is in the Present (Son) that Time (God), that the Future (Father), becomes a part of human life, and so is born and lives and dies in the human life.

The Past (Holy Spirit) in turn comes from the Present (Son). We cannot say that it embodies the Present (Son). On the contrary Time (God) in issuing from the Present (Son) into the Past (Holy Spirit) becomes invisible again. The Past (Holy Spirit) does not embody the Present (Son). Rather it proceeds silently, endlessly, invisibly from it.

But the Present (Son) is not the source of the Past (Holy Spirit) which proceeds form it. The Future (Father) is the source of both the Present (Son) and the Past (Holy Spirit). The Past (Holy Spirit) issues in endless, invisible procession form the Present (Son), but, back of that, from the Future (Father) out of which the Present (Son) comes.

The Present (Son) therefore comes out from the invisible Future (Father). The Present (Son) perpetually and ever-newly embodies the Future (Father) in visible, audible, and livable form: and returns again into invisible Time (God) in the Past (Holy Spirit).

The Past (Holy Spirit) acts invisibly. It continually influences us with regard to the Present (Son). It casts light upon the Present (Son). That is its great function. It helps us to live in the Present (Son) which we know, and with reference to the Future (Father) which we expect to see.

Wow God is truly awesome!!!!
