NOWHERE.
It is against Jewish belief.
The Jewish idea of God is that God is One and Indivisible. We cannot divide God up into separate parts, where each part of God is UnEqual to each of the other parts, but somehow they are one and the same. The Hebrew Scriptures describes God as an absolute One, but the Christian's New Testament describes the Christian idea of God as divisible into three parts called a trinity. In the Christian's New Testament, Jesus at one point claims to have different knowledge than other parts of the Christian Trinity. For example, Matthew 24:36 or Mark 13:32. In another verse, Jesus does not have the same power as other parts of the Christian Trinity, for example, Luke 23:34. And in Matthew 26:42, Jesus's will is not the same as the will of the Father. Indeed, Jesus often contrasted himself with the Father, for example, in John 14:28, or Luke 18:19. Furthermore, Jesus supposedly said that the punishment for blaspheming against one part of the Trinity is not the same punishment for blaspheming against another part of the Trinity. In the Hebrew Scriptures, however, God is One, as we read in Deuteronomy 6:4, as well as in Isaiah 44:6, where God tells us, "I am the first, and I am the last; and beside me there is no God." When Isaiah tells us that God said, "I am the first," it means that God has no father. When Isaiah tells us that God said, "I am the last," it means that God has no literal son. And when Isaiah tells us that God said, "Besides me there is no God," it means that God does not share being God with any other god, or demi-god, or semi-god, or persons, and there is no trinity.

Well, there are many, for lack of a better word, clues.

In Genesis 1:1 "In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth." "God" in the original language of the scriptures is Elohim. Elohim is a actually a plural word of Eloah which means god. So that means in that scripture, more than one God created the heavens and the earth, who we know as the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

At the moment, that's all I can think of to help you at the moment.

However though, perhaps one of the reasons we don't clearly see the terms Father and Son in the Old Testament, because people didn't have or know they could have that relationship with God to call God a Father, because no one knew they can receive the right to adopted to be children of God until after the New Covenant was created for those that received Jesus Christ into their heart.

I am sorry I cannot think of exact verse of the top of my head.. But the prophet Isaiah talks about the coming of the messaih( the Son) through out his book. David in many of his prayerful Psalms asks God not to allow his Holy Spirit to leave from him although the Holy Ghost did not fall until the day of Pentecost mentioned in the book of Acts in the Bible. I will give more info on this subject when I get more answers.

THere are a number of references to plurality of GOd in the old testament. FOr example on of his names is Elohim, the im ending of the name is plural Elohim means Gods but is used to indicate the one living GOd YWHA. just his name alone shows reference. Also in Gen 19:23 you see an example of plurality of God. it says the lord rained down sulfur on... from the lord out of the heavens. in that passage GOd is on eath raining sulor down from God in heaven, Two Gods.
Psalm 2 is a conversation between the Trinity, I will let you figure that one out. YOu will also see the Angels say holy, holy, holy is God. there are many examples pointing to the trinity in the old testament, however Jesus is not mentioned by name. He is a later revelation. but you cannot miss the plurality in unity of God all over scripture. It is a fun study to do, take some time if you wish you will learn a ton.

God bless you learning. Take care

God didn't reveal Himself as Father , Son, and Holy Spirit is the Old Testament, UNLESS you know how to read it.

Since you don't know how to read it by what you indicate, I won't show you. What I will give you a clue of is that the right verses to interpret from are New Testaments quotes from the Old Testament.

But I really doubt if you are interested enough to search the scriptures to find them.


GOOD LUCK!!!!!!!

This core belief of Christianity was revealed by Christ. It was not known to people of Old Testament times, though after the fact we can find passages in the Old Testament that coincide with belief in the Trinity, even though such passages were inadequate to actually reveal the fact of the Trinity before the coming of Christ.

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God, the LORD is one! You shall love the LORD your God with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your strength. Deuteronomy 6:4-5 The Bible teaches plainly and without ambiguity that God is one! It never says that God is two or three or any other number. It simply says that God is one! God is not three distinct divine persons. Neither does He have three identities, three personalities, or three centers of consciousness. God is not three at all, GOD IS ONE! The doctrine of the trinity was developed by philosophers attempting to explain the God of the Bible using the ideas of Greek philosophy. But in Colossians 2:8-9 Paul warns, “Beware lest anyone cheat you through philosophy and empty deceit, according to the tradition of men, according to the basic principles of the world, and not according to Christ. For in Him dwells all the fullness of the Godhead bodily....”

No passage says this explicitly.
In Psalm 110 we read this:
"The LORD said to my Lord,
sit at My right hand until I make your enemies a footstool for your feet."
David wrote this Psalm.
He was referring to Messiah (my Lord).
Yet Messiah was the Son of David.
How could David's descendant be his Lord?
Because He was the pre-existent Son of God.
The One speaking to Him in this passage is the Father.
This and many other passages of Scripture refer to Messiah as being a divine Being.
Consider Psalm 2:7 (again the Father speaking to the Son); Isaiah 9:6-7; Micah 5:2.
God is referred to as Father in Malachi 2:10:
" Have we not all one Father ? Did not one God create us?"
The Spirit of God is clearly set forth as the Agent of Creation:

" Now the earth was formless and empty, darkness was over the surface of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the waters.
And God said, "Let there be light," and there was light."
Genesis 1:2-3

So the Trinity might not be clearly expressed in any one passage, but becomes evident by looking at all the passages related to God, and by the sum total of what is said about Him.
