The concept of the Holy Spirit is present in the Old Testament, where the spirit is referred to as “ruach ha-kodesh” in Hebrew, meaning “the Spirit of God.” The first mention of the Holy Spirit in the Old Testament is in Genesis 1:2, where the spirit is described as hovering over the waters of the earth. This suggests that the Holy Spirit played a role in the creation of the world and the beginning of life on earth.
