BOB: Salvation and Isaiah's Spiritual Categories

Thoughts on Davidic Kingship

In this final installment of Born of the Blood, we’ll correlate our three types of eternal salvation with Isaiah’s spiritual categories of humanity, which will expand our understanding of the Gospel. One of the gifts of the Spirit is an expanding knowledge of God.  If we find ourselves beating the same drum and we are just recycling the same ideas that we have for years, then we are going down a dead end. Here I will suggest a method for expanding one’s knowledge of the Gospel then I’ll wrap it up with our main topic.​

​The Process of Perfection
Our Process of Perfection looks like this:

                                                                     Individual Salvation
                                                                             Born Again
          Born of the Blood > Born of the Water > Keeps the Commandments > Born of God/Spirit

                                                                       Married Exaltation
                                                                     Going Onto Perfection
                           Becoming Perfect > Reaches the Full Stature of Messiah > Sees God the Son

The Narrow Way
Some people have accepted the idea that once we have acknowledged Yeshua as the Savior of Humanity that that is the sum total of what we need to do to live with God in the eternities - that either we don’t need to make any changes in our lives or that somehow God will magically make us perfect with no effort of our own.  Well this is really not what the scriptures say. Yeshua said that the path is narrow and that few there be that find it - Matthew 7:14. Moreover, the Apostle Paul said that we have to “work out your own salvation with fear and trembling” - Phillipians 2:12 So the method to know God sounds like a diligent journey to me. Let me here suggest one method to expand your knowledge of God.

Isaiah’s Hebrew Gospel
The prophet Isaiah set out in his writing not only a comprehensive treatise of an Endtime scenario for the end of the world, but Isaiah presents a progressive and regressive path to or away from God.  He does this by categorizing spiritual types of people in the scriptures. At the bottom of his analysis, Isaiah places Perdition - those who reject Yeshua as the Savior of Humanity and are unredeemable.  At the top, Isaiah places God’s angelic messengers. This gives us a framework that we can integrate additional truths set out in the scriptures. Dr. Avraham Gileadi outlines this Hebrew Gospel in his book Isaiah Decoded.

Old Testament Covenant Theology
Next we integrate the covenant theology that God sets out in the Old Testament or Tanach.  These covenants include the Abrahamic, Threshold, Priesthood, Sinai, Davidic and Enochic covenants.

The Process of Perfection
And finally, we integrate the Process of Perfection that is set out in the New Testament of being Born Again and Going Onto Perfection.  So our table summary looks like this:​

Salvation and the Spiritual Categories of Humanity
So when we integrate the concepts of Salvation and Isaiah categories of humanity, this is what we get.​

The Process of Perfection	Categories of Sin	Types of Eternal Salvation	Isaiah's Spiritual Categories
The Unjust	Universal Sin ​(Atonement)	Receives God's Holy Spirit	Babylon (Sodom/Gomorrah) (Mahan)
Born Again	Overcomes Personal Sin	Receives the Presence of the Son	​Zion/Jerusalem
Going Onto Perfection	Overcomes Inherited Sin	Receives the Presence of the Father	Sons/Servants Daughters/Handmaidens ​ Angelic Messengers (Seraphim)
