It seems to me, from Ephesians 1, that the end is the praise of God’s glorious grace. The heavenly communion of His saints with Him and the partaking of His nature are not the end because they are expressions and consequence of His glorious grace fulfilled in history and they render praise to His eternal glorious grace. In a logical order the praise of His glorious grace is at the end of the chain.
If you look up Modalism/Sabellianism I think that is what you are describing. Oneness Pentecostals believe this today, but it is opposed to historic Christian orthodoxy as defined at the Council of Nicaea.
There is no “Triune God” in Scripture a totally foreign concept inserted there from Catholic pre Reformation “traditions” that the Reformers ironically kept-in. So if they kept it in, then it’s gotta be good because of Reformation “tradition”. So much for “Sola Scriptura”.
The Church Fathers and the Reformers beloved the Concept of the Trinity was biblical. For instance, at the Baptism of Jesus all 3 members of the Godhead were present. The Reformers were not opposed to using the logic of the early church fathers, and many used their arguments to show how the medieval church had deviated from scripture.

Is it true that if I am a mother, nurse and wife it is a trilogy but I am still the same woman but with distinct roles? Is that like the trilogy?

"The Triune nature of God is irreducible" drops the mic...

Jesus said God is his father and that he would send a comforter.

Wrong.
