“It is written concerning Adam: ‘Let us create a being in our own likeness and image. Who, then, shares His likeness and image except His Word and His Holy Spirit? When Adam rebelled and disobeyed his Lord, it was said, “Behold, Adam has become like one of Us.”’

(It is perfectly clear that God spoke these words to His Son—that is, to His Word and His Holy Spirit—and that He uttered them in derision of Adam, who had sought to become like one of Us.) Adam was left naked and exposed.

Again, when God destroyed Sodom and Gomorrah, the Torah records: ‘The LORD rained down from the LORD out of heaven upon Sodom and Gomorrah fire and brimstone.’
