Even Maimonides acknowledged that ECHOD leaves the door wide open for a Trinity, so he concluded that Moses despite having eyes that were “not dim” in old age, and having a “natural force” that was “unabated” in old age, and spoke to HaShem “face to face” wrongfully picked ECHOD instead of YACHID.

Respectfully, I don’t believe that.

>(that is, no “types,” “shadows”

You know of PaRDeS?

1) Pashat/Literal primary meaning
2) Remez/Hints in the text of something
deeper
3) Drash/The added understanding that can only be gleaned by a story, riddle, or parable and the
deepest level
4) Sod/Secrets and mysteries, which are mysterious underlying secrets revealed in the text,
which can and often do require many hours, weeks, months and in some cases even years to receive,
through the diligent study and meditation in YHWH’s Word.

All of the above are taken from http://www.messianicart.com/chazak/Handbook.pdf.

Have a great day!

PaRDeS is not the same as the chr*stian concept of the “old testament” being a “shadow” of a new, superior religion. PaRDeS assumes the eternal validity of Torah.
