Chapter 50: SGS: Receiving the Presence of God the Son

​In this chapter, we’ll close out this section on Going Onto Perfection with the concept of actually standing in the presence of God the Son in mortality.  Standing in God’s presence here is more than merely seeing Him.  To qualify to be able to be in God’s presence in mortality requires that in some measure that we have become like Him.  In other words, we come to know God by doing what He does; and, when we do, God will reveal Himself to us in this life.  So in this review, we’ll see how perfection and being proxy savior are things Yeshua does, receiving His presence and comparing the spiritual witnesses of the three categories of blessedness – Zion, Sons/Servants, and Angels/Joint-Heirs.

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

Individual Salvation
Born of the Blood
Redemption
Born Again
Sanctified
Born of the Water > Born of the Spirit > Born of God >

Married Exaltation
Going Onto Perfection
Exaltation
Becomes Perfected > Reaches the Stature of Messiah > Sees God the Son


Made Like the Son of God
Obtain God’s Power  >  Does the Will of the Father  >  Bound with Heaven
 

Doing the Works of the Son
Those who are God’s Sons/Servants/Elect begin to do the kinds of things the Son does.
 
“Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father.”  - John 14:12
 
God's Sons/Servants experience the presence of the Son in mortality because they have had common experiences.
 
“I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.”  – John 14:18
 
God’s Sons/Servants have perfected their lives by overcome sin, received a fullness of truth, strive to cultivate the attributes of Yeshua, accepted the responsibilities as a king and priest over communities, and served as a proxy savior.

 
Receiving the Presence of God the Son
Those so blessed reaching the image and stature of Messiah not only see God the Son in this life, but enjoy the presence of God the Father in the eternities. It is to dwell eternally with that class of beings who qualified as proxy savior-deliverers who have perfected their lives and suffered unjustly for the benefit of others and who establish peace.
 
The level of receiving the presence of the Son for those who are God’s Sons/Servants compare with the Son appearing to Isaiah in the Temple and with the Seventy Elders in Exodus 24. They experience the Son’s presence on a less personal level than what we see for those who are Angels/Joint-Heirs who walk with Him.
 
Isaiah
Isaiah sees the Son in the Temple on His throne and is administered by His angel.
 
“In the year of King Uzziah’s death, I saw my Lord seated on a throne, highly exalted, the skirt of his robe filling the sanctuary.”  Isaiah 6:1
 
Seventy Elders
The Seventy Elders see the God of Israel on a paved work of sapphires.
 
“Then went up Moses, and Aaron, Nadab, and Abihu, and seventy of the elders of Israel: And they saw the God of Israel: and there was under his feet as it were a paved work of a sapphire stone, and as it were the body of heaven in his clearness. And upon the nobles of the children of Israel he laid not his hand: also they saw God, and did eat and drink.” Exodus 24:9-11
 
 
Spiritual Witnesses Compared
Spiritual witnesses are confirmations of God’s truth that testify of God’s reality. The three levels of spiritual witnesses we see with Isaiah’s spiritual categories of humanity are summarized in the following table.

Zion/Jerusalem	Sons/Servants	Angels/Joint-Heirs
A manifestation of the Holy Spirit.	The appearance of the Son on a less personal basis.	The appearance of the Son on a personal and intimate basis. Those who walk with Him and are His friend.
