God is One LORD

Deuteronomy 6:4

Hear, O Israel: The LORD our God is one LORD

One + One + One = One LORD

God the Father + God the Son, Jesus Christ + the Holy Spirit = Adonai Echad

The key to understanding the complexity of the shema lies in the simplicity of observing our own triune nature internally.  This is a portion of what it means to be made in His image: spirit, soul, and body. When He manifests Himself during the millennial reign, His name will be one. As it is written,

Zechariah 14:9

And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and His name one.

A Nail in a Sure Place

Isaiah 22:23

And I will fasten him as a nail in a sure place; and he shall be for a glorious throne to his father's house.

The only sure place to dwell is the secret place of the most high God, and His is the only place that is sure and certain. We are fastened there by Jesus Christ. When the Roman soldiers fastened Him to His cross they used three nails, a constant reminder of our triune God who is One LORD. It is only through the cross that we can approach the throne of God and rest in surety, knowing that no man can pluck us out of His hand. We cannot even come to the Father but by the blood of Jesus Christ, for He is the nail in the sure place.
