Several years ago, I wrote a book entitled, "The Holy Way Towards the City of the Lord." It was culled from several months of study about the Scriptures and what those immortal words really meant when they say that a person is already "saved."
This is what I found out.
When the universe was created, it was created by a God. This God is described as the holiest of the holies, the Most God Who lived above Everything. God is the holiest of all the Spirits, and in the beginning, there is no other except God.
God created Wisdom upon Whom everything came about. Since God, being Spirit cannot live among the flesh or material, God created Wisdom, an alter-Ego. Wisdom is described as the mirror-image of God, but, not God Himself.
This mirror-image of God created every single one in the heavens. Fact is, God thru Wisdom created the heavens. Wisdom created the Kingdom of God which resides among the firmaments of the heavens. It sits on top of Mount Zion, in the Northernmost point of the Kingdom.
There, a Throne sits in the middle of a dome-shaped structure. From Where the True God lives, life-giving energies flow from above down to the Throne. These energies then flow down to a Spring and onwards to a river that snakes through down the mountain to the plains below.
The plains house mansions of majestic beauty where residents of Heaven live. The heavenly creatures which serve God live in these mansions, and houses.
When iniquity was created through the haughtiness of Lucifer, one of God's perfect creatures, God thru Wisdom has to create another dimension. This dimension, the material universe, was intended to be the place where Goodness and Evil will be seen.
Wisdom then created a point in heaven, where all energies were sucked and their burst outward creating the known universe. From this, God banished Lucifer, until the proper time comes for his eventual destruction.
Inside the known universe, God thru Wisdom created earth, the place where God intended His holy servants would live. God thru Wisdom created Eden, a garden where the first Humans resided.
Adam and Eve were thus created. They mirrored image Holiness, but not the physical features of God. God do not have anthropological features.
Lucifer, who posed himself as Satan, lured these first creatures to sin. God banished Adam and Eve from Eden, to live in the outer fringes of earth.
When Adam and Eve sinned, they were removed from the mercies of God. They have to work and toil the soil to eat, an analogy that they are now outside the protection of God. When they were with God, they don't have anything to worry. They don't eat. They don't need food because their sustenance came from loving God. God is enough for man to exist...forever.
That is why when God finally puts an end to sin in the last day, God will transform the bodies of His Servants, from their fleshly bodies to heavenly bodies. Why? This signals a transformation of their beings, from material to spiritual. For one to live forever, a being must become spiritual.
For a being to become spiritual, it must not be impure. One cannot live in the presence of a Holy God if one is impure.
Purity therefore, is the secret towards attaining salvation. How then can one attain spiritual purity or holiness.
Seek first the kingdom of God and all things shall be added unto you, says Jesus Christ, one of the messengers of God who Himself, struggled for purity. Jesus Christ is the living testament of the possibility of a human attaining spiritual purity and therefore, enjoying the distinction of being the first High Priest of God among His created human beings.
The life of Jesus and of course, other messengers who preached about the Oneness of God, are thus given as case studies or examples of how one is to live in order to attain spiritual purity.
Who is pure in the sight of God but those who live according to His laws. When one lives according to the Laws of God, that man lives towards purity or holiness.
Worship the Lord Your God with all your heart, with your might and with all your soul. When you worship God, you worship the things which God loves, one of them, seeking His Face, meaning His Truth and doing things to your fellow men.
Working diligently and honestly is worshipping God. Giving thanks to him every single day is worshipping God. Loving your fellow men and helping those in need is worshipping God. Taking care of the lands entrusted to you is worshipping God.
Do not kill. Do not commit adultery. Do not commit blasphemy. Honor your Father and Your Mother. Honor the Sabbath.
Do not eat blood. Do not eat unholy sacrifices. Do not swear before heaven. Do not lie. Do not cheat. Do not get involved in usury.
When you commit no sin against God and your fellow men, and follow the precepts that God thru Wisdom have given men as a roadmap towards God's kingdom, it is as if a man is preparing himself as a priest of God. Those who want to be saved should become priests.
Jesus Christ or Yeshu, was a Nazarite, someone who was prepared to become a priest. Only a priest is allowed entry into the Holiest of Holies. Only a priest can bear the sign of the Face of the MOst Holy God.
Therefore, to be saved, one must become a priest, someone who follows the Laws of God to the letter and someone who abstains from material pursuits and follows not the dictates of the flesh, but the dictates of the Most Holy Spirit.
That man, follows the true and holy path towards citizenship in God's kingdom. Amen.
