|Again, the Isaiah and Johannine phrases are complimentary — the Isaiah passage defines God implicitly as one person whose name is the LORD of Hosts, and the Johannine phrasing explicitly highlights God's nature as three-in-one: three essences comprising one person. (cf. Zech. 14:9)

|Not only are the meanings yet again complimentary in the context of progressive revelation, but the earthly witness is intentionally by divine structuring mentioned after the heavenly witness. This reflects the unchangeably eternal and rigidly supreme ordinances in heaven as the independent factor defining and ruling over its earthly counterpart. (cf. Isa. 55:9) To remove the Heavenly Witnesses as modern translations do is tantamount to denying divine authority firmly defining the earthly witness of Jesus Christ's sacrificial atonement for human sin, thereby paving the way for human-orchestrated corruptions based on [[liberal]] [[relativism]] instead of a consistently conservative theological respect for biblical parallelism's self-defining internal clarifications.
