"This matter of the...Trinity of the Godhead is one which we cannot use our mind to comprehend.  We cannot...simply use our mind to understand the mystery of the Father, Son, and Spirit...But if you check with your own experience, you will declare that the Lord who dwells in you is surely one...If you follow your mental understanding you will be puzzled, but by your experience you are clear that the Father, the Son, and the Spirit are the three persons of the one God."

"The Blood deals with what we have done, whereas the Cross deals with what we are.  The Blood disposes of our sins, while the Cross strikes at the root of our capacity for sin."

"The face denotes the presence of the person, and the countenance denotes the expression of the person.  To lift up one's countenance upon a person means to confirm, assure, promise, and give everything to that person.  Jesus, the Son, came as the face of God, and the Holy Spirit comes as the countenance of God.  When the Triune God is dispensed into us, we have the face of the Triune God and also His countenance.  Eventually, we are kept in the Triune God, the Triune God becomes grace to us, and we have peace."

Numbers 6:26 footnote 1

"Jehovah's face shining on us an His being gracious to us are equivalent to God's incarnation as the shining of His presence, which was accompanied by grace.  For the Lord to be gracious to us means that He is continually grace to us.  This grace is the grace of Christ, which is actually Christ Himself."

"The word face here signifies presence.  As the One whose face shines upon us, Christ the Son is the visible presence of the invisible God.  God and His presence are invisible, but through His incarnation He became the shining sun.  This shining sun is God's invisible presence becoming visible."

"This blessing, like that in 2 Cor. 13:14, is not outward and material.  Rather, it is the eternal blessing of the Triune God, which is the Triune God dispensing Himself in His Divine Trinity into us for our enjoyment.  In the entire universe the unique blessing is the Triune God, and this blessing comes to us through the dispensing of the divine Being into us in His Divine Trinity - in the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.  Ephesians 1 gives us a record of how the Triune God blesses His chosen, redeemed, and transformed people in His divine Trinity, issuing in the church as the Body of Christ, the fullness of the One who fills all in all.  As the consummation of the entire record of the Bible, the New Jerusalem is the very God in His Divine Trinity - the Father, the Son, and the Spirit - mingled with His chosen, redeemed, transformed, and glorified people as their eternal blessing.  Such a blessing is the ultimate fulfillment of God's blessing to Israel in Numbers 6."
