Sees God the Son

In this chapter, we start a new section on Seeing God the Son - Yehovah-Yeshua - under the heading of Married Exaltation. And when we talk of Seeing God, we are referring to Seeing God the Son in mortality and not God the Father. Of all the topics we have reviewed so far, this is the most important. The reason this topic is so important is because Seeing God stands as a witness of a tangible relationship with God for those who have received the knowledge to know God in a personal and intimate way. This is why the scriptures are critical, because writers of the scriptures are sharing their testimonies that they have seen God and then by following their lives and reading their words we can develop a knowledge about how we can see God for ourselves.  In this review, we'll consider a reliable method to come to know God, then we’ll introduce three key topics under seeing God that will finish out our review of Married Exaltation.

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

​Two Comforters
In the 14th and 16th chapters of John, Yeshua declares the reality of two comforters. The first is the Holy Spirit the Spirit of Truth or the Comforter that guides us into all truth. Yeshua also mentions another or a Second Comforter, which is a more sure witness of the truth even the Son Himself.
 
Comforter Defined
In the Bible, the "Comforter" refers to the Holy Spirit, a title from older English translations (like KJV) for the Greek word Paraclete (paraklētos), meaning "one called alongside to help," an Advocate, Counselor, Helper, or Strengthener, sent by Yeshua to guide, teach, and console believers after His departure. A Comforter provides strength, peace, and guidance.
 
 
Receiving the Comforters
Yeshua and Apostle Paul indicate that to receive the Comforter that guides us into all truth we are to be obedient to the Law/Commandments. Note: John 14 mingles the two comforters, so the verses have been restructured here.
 
“If ye love me, keep my commandments. that [the Comforter] may abide with you for ever;
Even the Spirit of truth; whom the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with you, and shall be in you.” – John 14:15,16,17 (restructured)
 
“And we are his witnesses of these things; and so is also the Holy Ghost, whom God hath given to them that obey him.” – Acts 5:32
 
Yeshua speaking to the Apostles said that to receive the other or Second Comforter, to receive the presence of the Son and see Him, we have to do the kinds of things He 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. And I will pray the Father, and he shall give you another Comforter.  I will not leave you comfortless: I will come to you.” – John 14:12,16,18  (restructured)
 
 
The Works of the Son
We have seen that being a proxy savior/deliverer is emulating Yeshua in a primary role, which required being Born Again, Perfected, and the additional roles as a Davidic King and High Priest. We have also set out the responsibilities to be a King of Peace that is another aspect of Yeshua, the Son of God.

To Create and Maintain Order
To Establish the Law
To Teach a Fullness of Yeshua’s Testimony, and
To Build Social Harmony

​Isaiah - A Pathway to Seeing God
When we look at the scriptures, is there any one Biblical writer who has seen God and for whom God has seemingly designated for our day?  Dr. Gileadi makes this assertion,

"What sets the Book of Isaiah apart from all other prophetic writings is its all-inclusiveness in depicting an end-time scenario. Even more comprehensive in portraying the end of the world than apocalyptic writings such as Daniel and Revelation, it spells out a great confluence of events humanity is about to experience. Using Israel’s ancient history as a foreshadowing of the end of the world, it predicts the future by drawing on events of the past. Only a prophet–poet with extraordinary literary skills could have predicted “the end” based on ancient beginnings (Isaiah 46:10). Only a visionary who saw both time periods could have crafted this prophetic masterpiece."

"While the Book of Isaiah’s apocalyptic message accords with Jewish tradition, and while its literary features reveal its twofold relevance—to Isaiah’s day and to the end-time—it still requires uncommon faith to believe that it is a handbook for our day. For one thing, it may mean discarding much or all of what we thought we knew before. Isaiah foresees just such confusion when he speaks of the deaf “hearing” and the blind “seeing” the words of his book. Only then—in a day when barely a few “disciples” would know its true message (Isaiah 8:16)—would “those who erred in spirit gain understanding and those who murmured accept instruction” (Isaiah 29:18, 24)." (The Book of Isaiah—A Blueprint of Our Time, http://www.isaiahexplained.com/resources/overviews-of-the-prophecy-of-isaiah)

So it seems reasonable that God has designated Isaiah for our day - those who will see the Endtime events unfold.  Additionally, Isaiah has also seen God (Isaiah 6:1). But equally important, Isaiah set out a pathway to God so that we can successfully navigate Endtime events and meet the Lord.​  Speaking to this pathway to God, Dr. Gileadi comments,

"People depicted in the Book of Isaiah are more than characters who feature incidentally in ancient and end-time events. They additionally typify spiritual categories discernible by how they relate to Israel’s God. Each informs us who we are from his perspective—what defines us." (Isaiah's Seven Spiritual Levels of Humanity, http://www.isaiahexplained.com/resources/isaiahs-seven-spiritual-levels-of-humanity)

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

Seeing God the Son
One of the geniuses about Isaiah is that Isaiah doesn't withhold a pathway to God. He lays it out before us in his writings, but Isaiah does it in such a way that humans can't corrupt it.   Because Isaiah sets out his writings in such a perplexing and puzzling way, the Book of Isaiah has come down to us in a faithful version of his original text.  The challenge for us is to see how Isaiah categorizes the various types of people in the scriptures and how they achieved that level of righteousness or wickedness of which Dr. Gileadi has provided a functional framework in his book Isaiah Decoded.

When we get to the Son/Daugher/Elect category, the last section of becoming God's Elect includes passing a test of loyalty and receiving that sure knowledge that our election has been made certain.  And that sure knowledge is reached by standing in the presence of God the Son Himself even Yehovah-Yeshua.  In this last section of becoming God's Elect, we will consider three topics - A Baptism of Fire, having one's Calling and Election made Sure and Knowing God.

A Second Baptism of Fire
Like the Baptism of Fire when we considered being Born Again, the Baptism of Fire is test of loyalty, but this time the test is more demanding.

Calling and Election made Sure
Whenever we enter into a covenant with God, it is first a temporary and conditional arrangement until we have proven our loyalty.  Once we have passed the Baptism of Fire here - a test of loyalty, our covenant with God becomes permanent and unconditional.

Receiving the Presence of the Son of God
The crowning event of becoming God's Elect is receiving the assurance and the presence of God Himself.​
