But Jesus, the anointed, with His army of saviors bearing the
Priesthood after the order of Melchisedec, will seek and save that
which is lost until everything salvable is redeemed. Only those beings
who have learned the law, received of the light of truth, tasted the
sweets of the divine spirit, basked in the sunbeams of the heavenly
glory, made covenant to serve the King of kings and received power
to advance to the pinnacle, of exaltation, and then have turned away
from the right, chosen evil rather than good, driven away the power
and promptings of the Spirit of light and truth, sought to become a
law unto themselves, imbrued their hands in the blood of innocence
or, drinking in of the influence of that evil one, consented to and
endorsed the slaying of the world's Redeemer, thus sinning against
the Holy Ghost and becoming servants of Satan and sons of perdition,
will be in their nature and status unredeemable, and therefore will
remain "filthy still" and thus be unfit for a kingdom of any degree of
glory. Those will go away with the devil and his angels into the outer
darkness, beyond the spheres where flows the river of salvation and
where blooms the tree of life. For them alone of Adam's race there is
no repentance, for them alone is the second death, for them alone is
the blackness of darkness forever.
When the work of Christ and His associate kings and priests unto God
is finished, the saints of all the ages will be crowned with glory and
receive their reward. They will be made rulers over many things. In the
order of eternity, they will stand in the heavenly family organization,
and all things will be theirs. Of their increase there will be no end.
They will hold the key to all heights and depths. They will have power
over all the elements, spiritual and corporeal. The incorruptible and
fadeless riches will be theirs. They will mingle with the highest. They
will gaze upon the face of the Eternal God and dwell in the presence of
the sinless Son. Pain and sorrow, and trial and death will henceforth
be only known in memory, to form the contrast needful to make their joy
complete. Eternity with its boundless opportunities and unutterable
bliss and intelligence and majesty will be before them without a
barrier in the way, secure for them as to the Almighty Father himself.
This is the celestial glory.
