We have two eyes. Each eye sees all that is
possible for an eye to see. Every object, every movement, every color, etc. All
that the left eye sees the right eye also sees. Cover the left eye and let the right
eye capture the scene. Cover the right eye and let the left eye capture the
scene. Cover both eyes and compare the scenes. They saw the same things.
But,
what happens when both eyes are open to the scene. All the same images are
present to either eye; but a new thing happens. A new dimension is created—the
third dimension comes into existence. Before when either eye was in use the
images were two dimensional; neither eye could not discern distance. But the
parallax created by two individual eyes, positioned at a different spot
spatially, caused an automatic response by the brain to compare the minute
differences in the perspectives of each eye. Thus, depth is comprehended; near
and distant objects make a fuller, bigger sense of visible reality.
We
have God, the King, the Father of all who sees all. We have His only begotten
Son, sole Heir to the throne, who is due all the honor of Him who sits on the throne,
and who liveth forever and ever. As the Father sees and knows all, so the Son
sees and knows all. They both see all that comprises existence; They both see
all that Their kingdom is. But, like our left and right eye,They both have slightly different perspectives.
The
Father emphasizes justice, yet not without mercy. But, His justice is so
powerful that when He expressed it all from Gethsemane to Golgotha upon His Son
as the God-Man, it destroyed His Son. But, His mercy was also seen in that the
destruction of His Son destroyed Himself in His heart, for the love that He had
for His spotless Son and for His Son’s fallen sons. That day They both poured
out Their souls.
The
Son emphasizes grace, yet not without truth. His grace is so powerful that when
He gave everything to save His fallen children He preserved His determination
to sacrifice Himself for His children’s eternal restoration to His Father’s
full trust. But, His truth was also seen in that He never once deviated from
His Father’s Law, and never taught anyone to deviate. They both lived for
righteousness. For both of Them righteousness is life.
Combined
from the days of eternity, Their two perspectives created a third perspective,
a deeper love and righteousness that ensured a home of Their making that was
invulnerable to any adversary, even though all enemies could only come
internally. The third Perspective, the deeper union of perspectives, the
Council of peace, the Spirit of God in His Son, was an omnipotent balance of
justice and mercy that could not be controverted. The third Power, which only
existed upon the existence of the characters of Father and Son, was the
resolution of all tension between the two original perspectives and their
Originators, which challenged Their unity yet made it stronger, thus preserving
Their kingdom of free willed creatures. The tension and improved unity of
omnipotent justice and equally omnipotent mercy brought perfect happiness to
Their free-willed spirit hosts and illimitable worlds.
“And
when those beasts give glory and honour and thanks to Him that sat on the
throne, who liveth for ever and ever, the four and twenty elders fall down
before Him that sat on the throne, and worship Him that liveth for ever and
ever, and cast their crowns before the throne, saying, Thou art worthy, O Lord,
to receive glory and honour and power: for Thou hast created all things, and
for Thy pleasure they are and were created.” (Rev. 4:9-11).
The
Father had known from the beginning that it was not good for His omnipotent
justice perspective to exist alone. Therefore, in eternity past He had brought
forth His only begotten Son filled with omnipotent mercy and called His name
Michael, for Michael would save His future children from the skewed
perspectives of justice without mercy or mercy without justice. As He came
forth, so did the third Dimension of Their union.
When
the arch cherub ceased to appreciate the Godhead omnipotent justice and mercy,
he sought to improve upon that foundation of the eternal kingdom. So, Michael
gathered His loyal hosts about Him in His home and traveled across the way to a
teeny, lifeless world to create a miniature of His Father’s heavenly kingdom.
Michael made the progenitors of a race in a corporeal image of the spirit
Godhead—His Father and Himself. And He surrounded these privileged progenitors
with an infinite variety of everything imaginable, animate and inanimate,
floral and faunal, intelligent and unintelligent. Life! Life everywhere!
Corporeal life everywhere represented the spiritual life that pervaded His
Father’s house. It was His Father’s peace on earth, and His Father’s third
Dimension good will toward man.
When
the arch cherub was able to trap the special race in his rebellion against the
very Godhead who they represented, then the Parent of these His children, the
unique Steward of the special race, the most merciful and intimate Creator of
these corporeal examples of His Godhead, vowed to correct them and protect
them. He swore to restore them to the larger kingdom, in full loyalty and
trust.
In His own omnipotent mercy mixed with His Father’s omnipotent justice, the eternal, omnipotent third Dimension was roused and brought to bear upon Adam and Eve, the new beloved, yet indigent, lifeless, poisoned and intoxicated abusers of justice and mercy. The drunken, yet beloved, couple and their progeny needed more than either Jehovah or Michael could readily muster from their individual perspectives. The Godhead submitted to the added synergy of Their third Dimension unified Spirit to keep Themselves infinitely honest beyond any debate throughout eternity. And Their unified third Power kept Their loyal spirit hosts of heaven on purpose and on point to perfectly cooperate with the original two great Powers of the Godhead for the preservation of the special human race, and for the riddance of the plague that had attacked their kingdom home from within.

The Spirit of God, the “eternal Spirit” (Heb.
9:14), His measureless Spirit which He gave His Son, the greater third
Dimension union of Their individual love which the Father had initiated, would
hold the Father steady when His Son must be given up to make a permanent,
impermeable, impregnable, legal solution to the questions and the unruly spirit
that cursed His family of heaven and earth. The third Dimension Spirit would
keep the Father on purpose and on point when fainting at the contradiction of
His corrupted creatures against His gentle Child. The eternal Spirit would also
hold the Son steady as He personally fought in hand to hand combat with the
evil cherub and poured out of His sensitive soul in the presence of a world
under the power of that mocking, wily master of temptation.
Together
They worked out the Son’s authority to take up our redemption and settle the
great controversy which the arch cherub caused.
“And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
“And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the Lion of the tribe of Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
And
I beheld, and, lo, in the midst of the throne and of the four beasts, and in
the midst of the elders, stood a Lamb as it had been slain, having seven horns
and seven eyes, which are the seven Spirits of God sent forth into all the
earth.
And
He came and took the book out of the right hand of Him that sat upon the
throne.
And
when He had taken the book, the four beasts and four and twenty elders fell
down before the Lamb, having every one of them harps, and golden vials full of
odours, which are the prayers of saints.
And
they sung a new song, saying, Thou art worthy to take the book, and to open the
seals thereof: for Thou wast slain, and hast redeemed us to God by thy blood out
of every kindred, and tongue, and people, and nation;
And
hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we shall reign on the earth.
And
I beheld, and I heard the voice of many angels round about the throne and the
beasts and the elders: and the number of them was ten thousand times ten
thousand, and thousands of thousands;
Saying
with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb that was slain to receive power, and
riches, and wisdom, and strength, and honour, and glory, and blessing.
And
every creature which is in heaven, and on the earth, and under the earth, and
such as are in the sea, and all that are in them, heard I saying, Blessing, and
honour, and glory, and power, be unto Him that sitteth upon the throne, and
unto the Lamb for ever and ever.
And
the four beasts said, Amen. And the four and twenty elders fell down and
worshipped Him that liveth for ever and ever.” (Rev. 5:5-14).
“How
much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered
Himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the
living God?” (Heb. 9:14).
We
are invited now to enter the third Dimension of the Father and Son.
“I…in
the Father, and the Father in Me.” (John 14:11).
“I…in
my Father, and ye in Me, and I in you.” (John 14:20).
“I
in them, and Thou in Me, that they may be made perfect in one; and that the
world may know that Thou hast sent Me, and hast loved them, as Thou hast loved
Me.” (John 17:23).
“And
I have declared unto them thy name, and will declare it: that the love wherewith
Thou hast loved me may be in them, and I in them.” (John 17:26).
If
we tasted it now, we can have a permanent place reserved in Their parallax
union. Their third Dimension Representative of infinite justice and infinite
mercy will fill us without measure. Their omnipotent, combined Spirit will
purge our hearts and minds and consciences of all proud thoughts and lifeless
actions, and restore us to serve the living God, the great Source of life and
redemption, the great Originator of the provision for our salvation, and the
great Initiator of the eternal Spirit third dimension Representative of Them
both.
