The prophesy is “sit at my right hand until I put you enemies under your feet”. That is what is taking place today. When that is finally accomplished, then comes the “until” when God becomes all in all. As far as what that looks like, and where we are at on this timetable, I don’t know.
In the scripture, God is God and Christ is Christ. There is not a trinity God presented. The narrative of scripture is One God, the Father.

True, the trinity is not in the Bible.
And it's also true that Jesus didn't become God until the end of the first century, when the Gospel we call John was produced. So it took 60 to 70 years for Jesus to become God. I guess he was a late bloomer. But he bloomed. It's done.
