BOB: Temporal and Eternal Salvation

Thoughts on Davidic Kingship


In this review of Born of the Blood, we’ll consider salvation from the aspects of the physical and the spiritual. Salvation of the physical includes eternal salvation after we die and are resurrected, but also there is a physical salvation in mortality or during time - temporal.  Spiritual salvation refers to the condition of being in the presence of God, which we see in eternity and mortality. ​​

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

Individual Salvation

Born of the Blood ​Redemption

Born Again Sanctification ​Born of the Water > Born of the Spirit > Born of God

​Introduction
We can summarize this scheme of physical and spiritual salvation with the table below.​

Temporal (during time/mortality)	Eternal
Physical Salvation Spiritual Salvation	Physical Salvation Spiritual Salvation

                                                                      

The Fall
In the Garden, Adam and Eve enjoyed a life without their physical bodies degenerating and dying - they were not subject to physical death. Moreover, they lived in the presence of God and enjoyed a spiritual life with God.

This condition changed when Adam and Eve disobeyed God’s commandment and partook of the tree of knowledge of good and evil.  The serpent said to Eve that she would be like God knowing good and evil, but to know evil would require them to experience a world subject to corruption both the physical and the spiritual - a physical and spiritual death.  They would lose their immortal bodies and be cast out of God’s presence. 

​But then man would retain his knowledge of good and evil in eternity as Yeshua raises man to a higher reality through the processes of salvation and exaltation.

Mortality
In mortality, we see three types of physical salvation and two types of spiritual salvation. Our first type of physical salvation applies to all humanity when God promises not to destroy man and gives him the Noahide laws - the seven basic laws for all humanity.  Then we see God promise Israel long life under the Sinai covenant - Israel's law code. And finally we see certain holy men have death suspended with Enoch, Elijah and John.

In mortality , we see two types of spiritual salvation. Those who receive the Holy Spirit and those who receive the presence of Yehovah like Moses.

Salvation in Mortality

Physical	Spiritual
Preserved from Destruction (Noahide Laws)	Influence of the Holy Spirit
Long Life (Sinai Covenant/Law)	Presence of the Son
Death Suspended

​Eternity
In eternity, we see three types of physical and spiritual salvation where heaven is divided among those who are Saved who are redeemed and receive God’s Spirit; those who receive Everlasting Life who are redeemed and sanctified and receive the presence of Yehovah the Son; and those who receive Eternal Life who are redeemed, sanctified and exalted who know the Father and Son - John 17:3.

Salvation in Eternity

Saved Redeemed/Influence of the Holy Spirit ​

​Everlasting Life Redeemed and Sanctified/Presence of the Son ​

​Eternal Life Redeemed, Sanctified, and Exalted/Presence of the Father ​

​Moreover, those who reject the Father and the Son are unredeemable and die both physically and spiritually forever.​
