![]() Thoughts on Davidic Kingship. This week will close out this section on Married Exaltation 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 requires that in some measure that we have become like Him. In other words, we come to know God by being transformed into what He is. When we have reached that lofty ideal, God will reveal Himself to us in this life. So in this review, we’ll compare Seeing and Knowing God, consider that Yeshua is a Second Comforter, restate and summarizes the Pathway to Godliness and finally dwelling with Messiah and the Father in eternity. 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 Seeing and Knowing Knowing God is more than just seeing Him. Those who reach the Zion/Jerusalem category of blessedness who have had their covenants sealed by the Spirit who are sanctified will pass into the Millennium and enjoy living in the presence of God the Son, but in order to know God, is to be in that class of beings that have reached the full stature of the Messiah and have the intimacy of empathizing in similar experiences. To really know someone is to experience what they have experience. It is to do what they have done. To walk in their shoes. They now can connect with Yeshua on a personal level not reached on lower levels. Those so committed who make the sacrifices to be like God, God transform them into what He is and God exalts them. So when Adam and Eve transgressed and wanted to be like God, God provided a plan that they could be transformed into what He is if they are willing to truly follow the Messiah into the fullest measure of Yeshua - though we can't suffer and die to save and exalt a World - descending below all things. Receiving the Second Comforter In the biblical sense, a Comforter is an influence that brings peace of the truth and an assurance in the reality of God. We see the Apostle John refer to the Holy Spirit as a comforter at John 14:26,27. But in addition, receiving the presence of God the Son is also a Comforter - John 14:18. Speaking to this second comforter as the Messiah, Dr. Gileadi comments, “As a foretaste of their return “home” to dwell in God’s presence, God appears to his sons/servants on the earth and ministers to them in person. Just as they have ministered to others … God himself now ministers to them and they receive his promise of eternal blessedness. Since that promise depended on their demonstrating "loyalty" and "compliance" with his will - on living a higher law … and serving God at all costs - so they have now come to know him. They have now no more need to "believe" that God lives; they know he lives and loves them.” (Isaiah Decoded, Gileadi, pgs 177, 178.) The Pathway to Godliness Knowing and Seeing God the Son in this life is to achieve the highest potential of the opportunities that God has afforded in this life if we truly follow the Son and make the sacrifices. It is to be transformed into the image of the Son reaching the full stature of the Messiah. So in review and summary of the Process of Perfection,
The Presence of God the Father Those so blessed reaching the full 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 - to receive a fullness of life eternal knowing the Father and the Son. My last and final post in this blog will be in two weeks, where we will consider what Isaiah's Endtime Temple looks like that he speaks of in the second chapter of the Book of Isaiah.
