Reaching the Full Stature of the Messiah

​Thoughts on Davidic Kingship.

This week we begin a new section - Reaching the Full Stature of the Messiah.  In our previous section we considered the process of Becoming Perfected.  In this section, we’ll introduce the three key aspects of responsibility in a messianic role - Davidic Kingship, the High Priest's office and Proxy-Salvation.  We’ll consider these three aspects in the context of the Law of the Son-Yeshua and the Law of the Father, Physical Salvation, and Spiritual Salvation.

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

The Law of Son and the Law of the Father
In the scriptures, we can see actually three systems of law - a basic law for all Humanity, the Law of the Son-Yeshua for those who strive to be Born Again, and a third law - the Law of the Father - for those who Go Onto Perfection.  This concept of the Law of the Son and the Law of the Father is expressed at John 15:10.

"If ye keep my commandments, ye shall abide in my love; even as I have kept my Father’s commandments, and abide in his love."

From this scripture, we can see that to have a relationship with the Son-Yeshua he asks us to live His law.  Moreover, we can also see in this scripture that Yeshua has a relationship with the Father because Yeshua keeps the Father’s law.  We can extend this concept by recalling those who do the Will of the Father also have a relationship with the Father - Matt 12:50.

The bulk of the Law of the Son is found in the Torah, which also includes accepting Yeshua as the Savior of Humanity and who are Born Again.  For those who are Born Again, we have already reviewed the four covenants that are associated with the Son’s Law - Abrahamic, Threshold/Passover, Priesthood and Sinai Covenants. The covenants that we see that are associated with the Law of the Father are the Davidic, Enochic and Messianic (as the Redeemer-Yeshua and not the redeemed) Covenants.  

Another aspect that we see here, is that under the Law of the Son, father’s function as kings and priests to their families and obtain individual earthly salvation for him and his family as they keep the Son's Law.  But under the Law of the Father we see that Davidic Kings and High Priests can obtain collective earthly salvation for family organizations or communities.

Our summary looks like this,​

Law of the Son	Law of the Father
Born Again	Going Onto Perfection
Abrahamic Threshold Priesthood Sinai​	Davidic Enochic Messianic ​
Kings(Queens)	Davidic Kings (Queens)
Priest	High Priest
Individual	Groups/Communities

Physical Salvation
Physical salvation refers to being saved from physical death - the deaths of our material bodies. This includes being killed by enemies, starvation from the lack of food and death by disease. The role of a king is to be a provider and a protector. Under the Law of the Son, fathers of families accept this role as an earthly “king”.  Under the Law of the Father, Davidic Kings accept this role for groups or communities.​

Law of the Son	Law of the Father
Kings (and Queens)	Davidic Kings (and Queens)
Physical Salvation	Physical Salvation
Individuals	Groups

Spiritual Salvation
Spiritual salvation refers to living in the presence of God.  Fathers of families who sanctify/purify their lives under the Law of the Son and who accept the oath of the priesthood bring family members to receive the Spirit in this life and into the presence of the Son/Yeshua in eternity as they obey the Son's Law to the best of their ability.  Whereas, those who perfect their lives who are High Priests who are heads of groups see the Son in this life and receive the presence of the Father in eternity.​

Law of the Son	Law of the Father
Priest ​(Pure)	High Priest ​(Perfect)
Spiritual Salvation	Spiritual Salvation
Spirit on Earth ​Son in Eternity	Son on Earth ​Father in Eternity

Christian Confusion
This concept of the Law of the Son and the Law of the Father is where Christians become confused.  Christians see that the Law of the Father replaced the Law of the Son(Torah).  Instead of seeing that it is an ascension to greater blessedness.


Proxy Salvation
Proxy Salvation is the concept that perfected men who may suffer for other's transgressions obtain God's favor, which then God saves those who are transgressors. We see a number examples of human proxy deliverers in the scriptures, which we will review in a subsequent post. Under the Law of the Father, Men (together with women) who become perfected do this for others and groups.
