and Sons of Perdition

(Progression, The Design of Eternity — Section VI)


At the end of the Millennium and after the desposition of Lucifer and his angels into the sides of the pit forever, there comes the final judgment. As a result of that final judgment, the assignments to the glorified everlasting kigndoms of God go into effect and the bodies and glories of men are bestowed accordingly. Though those brought forth in the resurrection of the Millennium brought man forth as an immorral everlasting eternal being, the final glories post the final and last judgement were yet to come. We are told that upon the resurrection there will be some sort of 'pre-judgment' according to the type of body one is resurrected to. That is every person, body and soul, that are resurrected in the Millennium will be of a Terrestial or Celestial nature. And those who remain as a Telestial nature will remain in the Spirit Prison of the Spirit would from up to 1,000 years until thier final judgment and their then assigned glory into the Telesial Glory, which glory is said to be as the numbers of the stars of heaven. Whether that means the vavrious levels of assigned glory according to each person's works or just an allusion to the number of those who well be assigned to the Telestial Kingdom is of question.

And beyond the level or lower than the level of the Telestial glory are those who because of their denial and rejestion of the testimony of the Holy Ghost have sinned against the truth, are those who, though they are resurrected uniting their spirit to an immortal temporal body, it will be a body without any gloried. They are said to be the sons of perditions, to be assigned with the demons spirits of Lucifer to rule over them as they are greater than them having a body where all those angels of Lucifer and Lucifer as well do not have such a resurrected temporal body and remain only as a Spirit Body and a lower rudimentary level of intelligence far below any kingdom of glory and even below and subject to those resurrected without any kingdom of glory.

Bodies Celestial

Of the various final destinations of man in the eternities it would seem that we currently know most concerning the Celestial Kingdom of God. This would seem proper as it is that Kingdom of the highest glory with God that we all ought to have as our aspirations to obtains and to live there in the presence of God. And while there is three major degrees of Glory, Celestial, Terrestrial and Telestial; even the Celestial is said to have three levels within it as well.

    "IN the celestial glory there are three heavens or degrees;
    "And in order to obtain the highest, a man must enter into this order of the priesthood [meaning the new and deverlasting covenant of marriage];
    "And if he does not, he cannot obtain it.
    "He may enter into the other, but that is the end of his kingdom; he cannot have an increase."
    ~ D&C Section 131:1-4 ~

Some have seemed to twist what is exactly said here to make it seem that the Celestial Glory has three separate 'worlds' within it. That is not true. There is one Celestial World and they are ocuppied together by all those who obtain this kingdom and glory. What is different is the roles, designs and purposes played. Those who are not participants in Celestial Marriage are still able to enter the Celestial Kingdom with those that are participants in celestial marriage. They just are not marriage, which is the state of God. And do not have those blessings and posterity as God does have.

Concering the Celestial Realm and those who obstaind a Celestial Body and a Celestial Body, there are three levels of Celestial Glory. To obtain the 'top' or first level of the Celestial Kingdom, on has to have had a Celestial Marriage and become as the Gods of Procreation as joined Husband and Wife, Gods and Goddesses, Kings and Queens, Priest and Priestesses for ever. Beyond that not much is said concerning just who is and what their final condition is other than that they are of a Celestial Order and Glory as well. Concerning this final resurrection and Celestial Glory assigned the Doctrine and Covenants states:

    "And the spirit and the body are the soul of man.
    "And the resurrection from the dead is the redemption of the soul.
    "And the redemption of the soul is through him that quickeneth all things, in whose bosom it is decreed that the poor and the meek of the earth shall inherit it.
    "Therefore, it must needs be sanctified from all unrighteousness, that it may be prepared for the celestial glory;
    "For after it hath filled the measure of its creation, it shall be crowned with glory, even with the presence of God the Father;
    "That bodies who are of the celestial kingdom may possess it forever and ever; for, for this intent was it made and created, and for this intent are they sanctified.
    "And they who are not sanctified through the law which I have given unto you, even the law of Christ, must inherit another kingdom, even that of a terrestrial kingdom, or that of a telestial kingdom.
    "For he who is not able to abide the law of a celestial kingdom cannot abide a ccelestial glory."
    ~ D&C Section 88:15-22 ~

One fact of the resurrection is that after such period of 'death' as the separation of the mortal temporal body and the separation from it of the Spirit Body with its Intelligence, that disembodied spirit will in the resurrection be restored to its proper perferectly framed body of flesh and bones, never to be separated again. And thus that resurrected 'spirit' and 'body' do become the 'Soul of Man' of what man consists of forever. And though the 'soul' of man at the time of his first spirit birth when the Spirit Body of shape and form was first united with the eternal spirit of Intelligence, becomeing a living soul of Spirit Body and Intelligence — even though that everlasting union of Spirit Body and Intelliegence was then and thence the spoken of 'soul' of man, that was not the ultimate attainment of man as a living soul. Thus in the resurrection the living 'soul' of man then becomes the forever united temporal body of flesh and bones coupled with the Spirit Body with its Intelligence. The first being the living soul of man as Spirit Body and Intelligence, the last being the living soul of lman as Immortal Temporaly Body of flesh and bone coupled with the first living soul of Spirit Body and Intelligence combined. The 'first' living soul not being as great as the final living soul of man, as that final living Soul of man has obtained the final state of the soul of man with what is to be the glorified Temporal Eternal Body forever combined with its Spirit Body and ever eternal Spirit of Intelligence. Both conditions being that of the living soul of man, the one being first and the last being forever and ever the final state of the living soul of man.

And though the resurrection may come at the beginning of the Millennial duration, that is in the morning of the First Resurrection, the process until the final glorified state of the etenal resurrected body is not fully and completely finished until it does, after the final judgment at the end of the Millennium, enter into its eternal Gloried Kingdom. For those of the Celestial Glory, the earth after being not so 'Celestialized' until after the end of the Millennium and the final judgment, will inherit this Gloried earth, it being accepted into the presence of God forever, and this Celestial World will be theirs forever and ever. Until that finalized matter of Celestial Beings inheriting their Celestial World the complete process of he Celestialization of man will not be finished. It beig a process of time and final fulfillment, one last 'giant step' of Celestial Beings inheriting forever their final Glorified Celestial World. And though to mortal man that process of 1,000 years many seem to be counted as a long length of time, to God and times of God, it is but as the passage of one day, a day of God being as a 1,000 years in the limited timing of man. Yet in terms of eternity it is but a day or one relatively 'short' period of 'time.'

Now though stated as to the Celetial Glory, these times and seasons by also in likewise be adapted to the events of those you are of a Terrestrial Glory and those who are of a Telestial Glory, with allow differences understood to be in effect also as will here have be states as to the other Kingdoms of Glory and as to final desposition to that who are most rebellious and wicked still.

Bodies Terrestrial

Now those who will inherit a Terrestrial Glory, as they may be honorable men and will like, their Celestial destianed counterparts of Celestial Glory, both will be resurrected into the Millennial age and both will live on earth during the Millennium for that period over which Lucifer will be bound and not allowed to tempt or beguile man. The earth being said to be in a Terrestial state during the Millenium, but in terms of the earth and the final Terrestrial Glory, that is not the final Glory of the earth nor that Terrestial Kingdom of which those of the Terrestrial Kingdom will inherit forever. That Terrestial Kingdom and Glory with be that of another place that the Celestial Earth.

Now this may well be that of some question between those of the Terrestrial and that of the Celestial during the Millennium. That is with the one possibly considering 'they have arrived' as inheriting the earth though yet the final judgment to come. But finalization will have not arrived until after the end of the Millennial period and thr final assignment to Kingdoms of Glory have arrived. It may be, while the fuller valiant in the Lord are teaching the Celestial order to men in the Millenniuam those of the Terrestrial order, though they will and do accept Christ, they will 'relatively reject' the higher more valiant order of the Celestial, determining in themselves that they are not having to so commit themselves to it in order to be save in Jesus. Which will be true as far as it goes, but will not be the fullness of the Celestial Kingdom and Glory of God.

We do know that their selection of their Terrestrial glory will be a matter and function of their own free agency and choice. Just as Lucifer and his angels did freely select to rebel against God and God's selected Redeeming Lord, Jehovah as Jesus Christ, so by that same free agency choice will those of the Terrestrial World and Glory, choose it rather than being fully and wholely committed to the Celestial Laws. In short, it will be their own free agency choice not to live and comply to and with the celestial law. They will not have properly responded to the promptings of the Holy Spirit and will have brought themselves to the Terrestrial order.

Bodies Telestial

Those of the telestial glory will have rebelled and lived and remained in that state of not having lived by the more righteous laws of the terrestrial or celestial laws. They will not be resurrected until at the end of the Millennium in preparation for their final judgment into the Telestial Kingdom(s) of the glories of the stars and the so distinguich glories as one star differs from the other stars in their glory (1 Corinthians15:41-42).

Those of the telestial glory will have remained after their death in the confines of the 'spirit prison.' Just what type of confines can only be imagined. Though the most likely are not those of prison bars, neither are they awarded the same associations with those who are of Paradise of the realms and associations with celestial and terrestrial bound spirits.

We have learned that it is a matter of ordinance performance that does confine these from such advancements in their destined glories. Many have reacted to being 'freed' once their temple ordinances of proxy have been completed. And that they are anxiously waiting for the time when those ordiances are completed for them. And thus we are schooled that the temples will be running 24-7 so to speak during the Millennium until all those ordiances are performed for the dead. One would think and considered that thus as these are completed and the souls of those who accept them are so freed and released, that if they do qualify for an advanced kingdom of Glory they too will be thus resurrected and all through the Millennium as well.

One notion is that thus the First Resurrection as preached, will extended throughout the Millennium until all this work has been done that those who died without the opportunities of such in life, many be judged even as those who have had that previlege afforded them. That is even judged as the living are judged and not of a lesser judgment only becuase of the lack of opportinity so lost because of condition and circumstance. One good brother whom I trust on a spiritual level related he had a dream where in the resurrection of the death did proceed as though as the waves of the ocean coming forth from the ocean. And so as on through the Millennium they would come when and as their ordiances, accepted by them in the intends of their hearts are so completed for them. That is the importance of Temple Work and the results that it brings to the souls of those who have died and are but waiting in the spirit world 'prisons' until such are done and completed for them.

Thus though a soul should not be resurrected on the very first day and moment of the openning of the Millennium, none ought to be counted as lost until all the work is done and completed throughout the Millenium either! Logically those souls will continue to come forth as it is in waves as called forth by the Lord and as the capacities of the work being done for them is completed both in their acceptance and qualifying for it and it also being completed for them. Certainly my father is busy teaching those spirits in prison, as we understand that he is, for some good reason of importance, else why is it all being done, both the teaching of them and the temple work being done for them?

Bodies Without Glory

The sin against the Holy Ghost is the unforgiveable sin. And thouogh such will be resurrected, none of them will be resurrect to any kingdom of Glory. Such has be considers as the judgement of Cain and of Judas. Judas knew that Jesus was the Christ by the witness of the Holy Ghost in the very presence of the Lord Jesus Christ who is the same as Jehovah. So did Cain speak with God himself before and after he murdered his brother Abel to get gain. He knew the truth of the Lord God Jehovah in personal witness and the confirming witness of the Holy Spirit and yet he rebelled against God. Such Lucifer himself did, he actually being present with them in heaven. So are the fates of those who are the sons of perdition. They have no kingdom of glory given to them. And though such as Cain and Judah will be resurrected, their body nor they will receive any kindom of glory and only be left to rule over Lucifer and his angels, that having the advancement of having a body of flesh and bone while those of Lucifer and his demon angels do not and never will have such.
