I'm very familiar with Revelation.
You may not know what the Trinity is, JAPOV. You only mentioned two members in your comment (Jesus and The Holy Spirit), which is the problem.
The Trinity isn't explicitly taught in the NT, and it isn't taught in the OT at all. The Jews are God's chosen people and "...salvation is of the Jews". (John 4:24)
Jews don’t believe in the Trinity now and they didn't believe it from the time of Abraham to the founding of the Church. There should be dozens of NT texts explaining the Trinity to Jewish converts (like there are with salvation apart from the Law and the resurrection), but there are none.
There is also no mention of it in early Church documents. It's not specifically taught until the 4th century. If you want to know its definition, you can find it in the Athanasian and Nicene Creeds of the 4th century.
All this is in my books.
