Be sure to read Part I of this series: Rabbi Daniel Zion – Follower of Messiah Yeshua (Part 1)
Rabbi Daniel Zion skillfully mastered the Hebrew language. He published dozens of short Messianic Hebrew poems and hymns ‘given from heaven’, as he phrased it. Those hymns dealt with topics such as ‘Worshiping the Lord Yeshua’, ‘Holiness of the Seventh-Day Shabbat’, and ‘Praises to God and to the Messiah Yeshua’.
In his poems/hymns, R. Zion clearly distinguished between ‘Our Father in Heaven’, on the one hand, and ‘Messiah Yeshua’, on the other. For him, the ‘Single God’ (אל יחיד), i. e. the Father in heaven, was not synonymous with the ‘Atoning Crucified Messiah’. While he did also mention there the Holy Spirit, the concept of the Trinity was completely absent.

Daniel Zion’s points are spot on.
They are “certainly challenging and thought provoking” for the indoctrinated.
I am not so interested in whether the term “Trinity” is accurate or not.
But isn’t the Hebrew word for God, Elohim, plural?
Yes, Elohim has a definite plural connotation.
All three Persons of the Trinity comprise the one true God of whom we read in Deut. 6:4, “Hear O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one!”
God is so far above our understanding; His ways are above our ways, but we have the surety that He loves us and wants us to know Him.
In John 16:13-14, the Lord Jesus speaks of the Spirit of Truth who will guide us into all truth; “for He will not speak on His own authority, but whatever He hears He will speak; and He will tell you things to come. He will glorify Me, for He will take of what is Mine and declare it to you.”
The following chapter, John 17, is precious: looking through His telescope of time, Jesus sees you and me today, and He prays for us: “that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You; that they also may be one in Us, that the world may believe that You sent Me.” (vs. 20-21)
