BP: The Seven Spiritual Categories of Humanity

Thoughts on Davidic Kingship.

Last week we reviewed the Keys to Receiving Divine Truth. For those who aspire to become perfected, having a Fullness of Knowledge is a key component, because unless a person understands how to become perfected they cannot reach the full stature of the Messiah.  In this post, we'll review the Seven Spiritual Categories of Humanity that can help us see the overall process to reach the full stature of the Messiah and then we'll associate those categories with the Theme of Threes.

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

                                                                     Individual Salvation
                                                                             Born Again
​            ​                                           (Redemption / Sanctification)
     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

Spiritual Categories
Generally, Christianity lumps everyone into two categories - the righteous and the wicked - or those who inherit Heaven and Hell, but when we look at the Bible, a more dynamic view of Humanity emerges. For instance, at the bottom of Humanity are those who have seen /heard God and then rejected Him like Cain and Judas.  Then we see those who kill for profit and suffer for their own sins. We also see those who seek to satisfy the desires and appetites of the carnal or natural man. Comparatively, we see Jehovah reveal a collective law to Israel to create a nation and a covenant people. Moreover, we see holy men who gain favor with God and through their righteousness God saved others like Abraham and King Hezekiah.  We see characters like Moses that God gave His power and finally we see Enoch who God took up to Heaven. So it seems biblically that the view of Humanity is more than just two dimensions.

Dr. Gileadi, in his book Isaiah Decoded, categorizes Humanity into five permanent spiritual categories  and one temporary (Jacob/Israel) in his analysis of the Book of Isaiah.  In my analysis of the Bible, I expand this to seven permanent categories with one temporary (Jacob/Israel). We’ll see how these seven permanent categories play out when we look at the seven levels of Heaven.  Also, this dynamic view of Humanity can explain why the writings of Paul seem confusing, because Paul is teaching Believers who are at different spiritual levels.  We can see this more specifically in Paul’s writings to the Hebrews and new Gentile Believers.​

Dr. Gileadi's Categories	Expanded
Seraphim/Angelic Emissaries	Seraphim/Angelic Emissaries
Sons/Daughters	Sons/Daughters
Zion/Jerusalem	Zion/Jerusalem
Babylon	Babylon
-	Sodom/Gomorrah
-	Mahan
Perdition	Perdition

Jacob/Israel
Those who are Jacob/Israel identify themselves with the God of Israel or Believers in the Messiah/Christ.  These have not made a conscious choice to ascend to God and follow righteousness or succumb to the desires and appetites of their carnal nature. During Endtime events, this category of Believers will disappear as they will be forced into a decision to repent and seek righteousness or to give into sin. There will be a separation of the righteous and wicked first on principle and second by a physical gathering and separation, which we see beginning now in the world with current events! ​

Ascending to God	Descending to Sin and Death

DESCENDING TO SIN AND DEATH
​
Babylon
Those who succumb to their base desires engage in all types of modern idolatry: debasing entertainment, obsessions with sports, false religious/spiritual systems, the pursuit of worldly wealth, really anything that takes them away from the true God qualifies as idolatry. Another aspect of Babylon is the reliance on human power rather than divine providence. All kinds for social maladies plague Babylon - divorce, drugs, crime, poverty. These seek to satisfy the appetites and desires of the carnal or natural man.  Because of their reliance on man-made systems, in the end they self-destruct, because man-made systems are not sustainable.

These repent of their sinful lives after they die, accept Yeshua’s redemption, agree to live God’s basic law of integrity in eternity and come forth in the second resurrection of the unjust.


Sodom/Gomorrah
Those who are Sodom/Gomorrah do that which is unnatural.  Killing their unborn, devaluing human life, and engaging in unnatural sexual activities are the egregious sins committed by Sodom/Gomorrah.  For this, God Himself executes a judgement of death.

These repent of their sinful lives after they die, accept Yeshua’s redemption, agree to live God’s basic law of integrity in eternity and come forth in the second resurrection of the unjust.


Mahan
Those who are Mahan murder for profit.  These take killing life to a new low. We see this particularly in the case of Judas who  betrayed the Messiah for thirty pieces of silver, which resulted in His death.  Those who murder for profit must suffer for their own sins in Hell until the second resurrection. Though not a term found in the Bible, Mahan has word links to Hebrew meaning destroyer.

These suffer for their own sins after they die, accept Yeshua’s redemption, agree to live God’s basic law of integrity in eternity and come forth in the second resurrection of the unjust.


Perdition
At the very bottom of Humanity, is Perdition.  These reject both the Father and the Son and die both body and soul never to live again.  Cain and Judas are biblical examples of Perdition. Cain was “marked” for dissolution.

These have rejected the redemption of Yeshua and receive no resurrection.​

ASCENDING TO GOD

Zion/Jerusalem
Those who are Zion/Jerusalem accept Yeshua’s redemption and sanctify their lives by overcoming personal sin.  These are Born Again living a fulness of God’s covenant law of Sanctification, passing a trial of faith, and having their covenants sealed by the Spirit become a New Creation of the Spirit.

These endure the Endtime trials and pass into the Millennium. Being redeemed and sanctified, they partake in the first resurrection of the just.


Sons/Daughters
Those who are Sons/Daughters, God’s Elect, accept Yeshua’s redemption, have sanctified their lives and are married.  They Go Onto Perfection reaching the full stature of Messiah as they perfect their lives, enter into the Davidic covenant and serve as earthly proxy-deliverers/saviors to their families and others.  Their loyalty to God is tried under all conditions. They see God the Son and become a New Creation of the Son. They are exalted.

These endure the Endtime trials and pass into the Millennium. Being redeemed, sanctified, and exalted, they function in leadership roles and partake in the morning of the first resurrection of the just.


Seraphim
Those who are Seraphim or God’s Angelic Emissaries are redeemed, sanctified, exalted, married and prove their loyalty to God unto death.  The scope of their mission is worldwide. They obtain God’s power, lead the Endtime gathering of Israel and are Joint Heirs with the Messiah.

These endure the Endtime trials and pass into the Millennium. Being redeemed, sanctified, and exalted, they function in leadership roles and partake in the morning of the first resurrection of the just.​

The Theme of Threes
We can now associate and summarize our spiritual categories of Humanity with the Theme of Threes. ​Perdition does not qualify, because those who are Perdition are not redeemed.

Redemption	Sanctification	Exaltation
Babylon	Zion/Jerusalem	Sons/Daughters
Sodom/Gomorrah	-	Seraphim
Mahan	-	-
