"To whom will you compare me or count me equal? To whom will you liken me that we may be compared?" (Isaiah 46:5). Why does it not say "To whom will you liken me that I may be compared?" Why does it say "we"? There are hints throughout the Old Testament (the earliest of which is in Genesis 1:26) that God is both multiple, as well as singular, in nature--that is, a Trinity (see singular and multiple).
