"In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God./The same was in the beginning with God." Here we have three entities: God as voice of the Lord. It is a sound. It was in the beginning and it was also a sign which is indicated by the term The Word was with God' and Jesus Christ as the name. Holy is his name applies to the Son since the Word was God specified through his prophets, his name."and they shall call his name Emmanuel, which being interpreted is, God with us."(Mt.1.23) Here it is interesting to note that The Word was with God in heaven is given a name to indicate God with us, Emmanuel. It is thus Fellowship of God with Man is a stone dropped into the world and the everwidening ripple makes believers also included into it. John is referring Jesus Christ in vv.2-3 'The same' to the Man component to the Trinity.
Thus in the everlasting Covenant it is Adam and who was created 'after our image' and after our likeness he is set forth as the double for Jesus Christ. After his fall Jesus Christ is designated as the last Adam.
Thus we need make a distinction between Jesus Christ as a sign (Emmanuel) and also Jesus of Nazareth the man. The latter and John his cousin were men subjected to the sovereign authority of the Word. This explains why Jesus insisted on baptism by water. For this reason we have symbols of greater light and lesser light. "And God made two great lights; the greater light to rule the day, and the lesser light to rule the night."(Gen.1.16) They are to rule the children of light which is the word of God while lesser light is a sign for the soul of man who shall give accounts for the works of darkness. The same motif we find in the four living creatures, wheel in the middle of a wheel. It is not the symbol of Mazda but ' for the spirit of the living creature was in the wheels."(Ezek.1.16-20). The soul of man is a sign for Emmanuel. Either you are for Christ or enemy to Christ. Whole or nothing.
