28. Sent as Judgment

© Daniel Yordy – 2020

Defining Judgment
In a recent lesson in the Tabernacle Teaching, we looked at the meaning of God-judgment that sets everything into place and belonging. Fire is the first form of Word; judgment is our first calling of God into creation.

Yet judgment is a huge topic, for judgment is what makes God, God, and judgment is what makes humans, human.

To the one presently and actively overcoming, I will give to sit with Me inside My throne, just as I also overcame, and sat down with My Father inside His throne (Revelation 3:21). – And His eyes were like a flame of fire (Revelation 1:14).

I have used the phrase “through eyes of fire” because it sounds cool. Only now am I beginning to grasp what it means and where it fits.

One of the central parts of being like God is that we are created to judge. To synergeo with God making all things good is to judge (Romans 8:28). To synergeo is to share Fire with God.

Then God said, “Let there be light”; and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good; and God divided the light from the darkness. God called the light Day, and the darkness He called Night (Genesis 1:3-5).

Everything occurring inside these lines is the expression of one word – Judgment.
To sit with Jesus inside of the throne of God, to see through eyes of fire, is to judge all things, with God, by this same pattern. This is what we are now learning to do. To speak – Christ. To see – good. To set or place – function and belonging. To call into its place – name.

“Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?” (Isaiah 33:14).

We know moreover that those who are actively loving God are synergeoing together with God to turn with purpose all—all things, all entities, all circumstances, all moments—into pure and intrinsic goodness, that is, into the knowledge of God. These are those who are continuously being called as and by the precise details of God’s Pro-Thesis, His set-forth purpose from the beginning, the Blueprint of His House, the Lord Jesus (Romans 8:28 – expanded).

To synergeo with God, turning all things good, is to share Fire with God, God and you answering by fire. The forgiveness of God, flowing out from Mercy, is a terrible, terrible thing, burning up everything that opposes and leaving in its wake only purity and thankfulness.

Let’s look more closely at the four functions of our judgment, here with Jesus, upon the Mercy Seat. And I saw thrones, and they sat upon them, and judgment was committed to them (Revelation 20:4). To speak Christ – to see good – to set in place – to call by name. This is our judgment; in this way, we subdue all.

And of these four, the costliest part, the fire part, is to see a particular thing as good. This is what Jesus did upon the cross, even out from His confused agony, just after He had spoken His judgement – Father, forgive them.

This is my task as I am writing my life story, to look squarely at every moment and every person in that moment and to call it and them by Christ, to see it and them as good, to set it into its place inside the intentions of God, and to call it and them by name unto myself.

For it is the opportune season for the judgment to have begun out from the house of God (1 Peter 4:17). Writing my life story has been applying this judgment to my own life first, that I might be ready to judge all to life.

This ministry to which we are called has never before been known by humans, for none before us have turned around inside of Jesus, knowing they are just like Him. Nonetheless, as I look at the passages of the Bible, I see that they are FILLED with the expressions of this ministry.

This ministry of judgment is simple and fitted to our humanity; this ministry is the core of God-Fire. You see, this is what we have been doing in the darkness, in our confusion and pain, every time we have given thanks.

Let’s go, now, through each part of our judgment; these are familiar things, yet we are seeing them in a new light.

Four Actions of Judgment
To Speak Christ. To speak Christ is to judge the beginning of something by its completion in the end. – Let that thought roll around and around in your mind.

The Pro-Thesis now in our hands is the blueprint already proven. We judge the work by the blueprint; we measure everything by Christ (Ephesians 4). Yet things begin only by our speaking. It is the speaking of Christ that begins the work of Christ in any created thing.

Speaking Christ is the first part of the Eucharist, the Blood part, speaking good grace and favor into all, the entrance of light and life, the beginning of creation.

Speaking Christ into others is the messy part of the building of a house; yet the builder never considers the mess, but only the enjoyment of God reclining by the fire inside His finished Home. Speaking Christ into one another is the energeia by which we build up the dwelling place of God (Ephesians 4).

Father coming through needs a Home inside creation in which to dwell; speaking Christ is the building of His House.

To See Good. To see good is the costly part of our judgment. Seeing good is the second part of the Eucharist, the cross part, the giving of thanks for the sake of all things.

Nothing created can be good of itself. Even Jesus refused the title of “good.” – Why do you call Me good? No one is good but One, that is, God (Luke 18:19). (They were not actually seeing Jesus as good; they were seeking only to manipulate Him.)

To see something to be good, that is, of God, through God, and to God, something that looks not-good in the present moment, is to bear the cost of the not-good inside your soul.

To give thanks in a moment of awfulness is to judge a thing or a person to be good, it is a flame of fire. Yet giving thanks in affliction and sorrow must be matched always with giving thanks in beauty and joy. And giving thanks is always matched with the expectation of God arising in goodness inside this created thing, person, or moment.

The expectation of God is the creative power of Fire, synergeoing with God as one Ffire together. To call something not-yet good by the goodness that is God alone is the central element of our judgment.

To Set in Place. We cannot know what we are, we cannot know what anything or anyone is, until we set that thing into its place. This is the judgment of belonging – you BELONG, and you belong – here. – Fitted together into His dwelling place (Ephesians 2).

This is NOT the placement of this world – “Stay in your ‘place,’ worm, that is, beneath of me!” The placement of God is the joyous singing of – “This is me! I was created for this.” The judgment of setting in place, then, is a walking with God beneath of all and a lifting up of each.

All light is a terror; all dark is awfulness. Beauty is the interplay of light and shadow. All sound is a horror; all silence is loneliness. Music is the interplay of sounds with silence. All feeling is a harmful fire; all non-feeling is a cloak of uselessness. Warmth is the balanced interplay of feeling.

To set something into its place is to know what it is; it is to create the very Symphony of God, singing as His creation.

Here is our place, the singing of God. – Be kind with one another, tender-hearted, forgiving and giving favor to each other in the same way that God inside of Christ gave favor freely to you (Ephesians 4).

To Call by Name. And the sheep hear his voice and he calls his own sheep by name and leads them out (John 10:3). – And His name will be upon their foreheads (Revelation 22:4).

To call by name is to call the personal essence of a thing into its being known by all. When my mother hollered, “Daniel David Yordy,” she had my full attention. When you say, “Daniel Yordy,” everything I am to you is found inside those words.

To call by name in judgment is the greatest honor one can give to a person. It is the introduction of that person to all.

This is My beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased. – Well done, my good and faithful son, enter into the joy of your Lord.

To call by name is to proclaim that this person is a vital part of the appearance of God, that God needs this one as an essential part of His expression. To call by name is the completion of judgment; it is introducing Christ completed as this one to all.

I will write upon him… the name of the city of My God, the New Jerusalem, continuously and actively stepping forth out from heaven, from My God (Revelation 3:13).

As we judge all things together with God, we are teaching each one to place the Lord Jesus Christ upon every moment of their lives, to give thanks for all. As I give thanks for every moment of my life, as I call each person into the love of God poured out in my heart, so I feel as if a flaming Fire is passing all through me. And when it is complete, I find myself every whit whole.

As we live always inside all the fullness of God-Fire – so God sends us as judgment.

In this love has been perfected, brought to full completion fused together with us, that we together might have boldness to speak [Christ your life] inside the [to]day of judgment, that just exactly as He is, so also are we in this present cosmos (1 John 4:17).

This is not a judgment of us, but judgment through us, just exactly as He is. And our judgment begins with the Church, the House and dwelling place of God All-Carrying.

Fire as Light
You are the light of the world (Matthew 7). – Light is that which makes visible (Ephesians 4). – The work of each will become visible; indeed, the day will make it clear because it is unveiled inside of fire; and the work of each, what sort it is, the fire itself will prove (1 Corinthians 3:12-13).

We are sent as light into the world, that is, as fire, as that which requires honesty of every human intention. And light is simply the most terrible thing in the experience of all those who attempt to wrap themselves with darkness.

We must understand the nature of God, that is, a Lake of Fire.

And this is the message that we have heard from Him, and declare to you, that God is light, and inside of Him is no darkness, not at all (1 John 1:5). – Every good act of giving, and every perfect and completed gift, is from above [from the Source], coming down {coming out from} the Father of lights, with whom there is no change or shadow of turning (James 1:17).

God is light – with Him there is no shadow of turning.

A “shadow of turning” is the attempt to make one’s thought or deed or impact on others to appear to be better than they actually were.

What is, is. What happened, happened. What you did, you did. Light requires everything to be what it is, with no false appearance.

To most humans this light is a raging FIRE and a terror of judgment. Yet Jesus said that we are that light.

Forgiveness is the burning of FIRE.

Four Aspects of Judgment
Judgement Defines. Judgment is the defining of words, of beauty, and of value. A dictionary is a book of judgment, for it shows exactly what a word means in distinction to all other words. My Webster’s 1926 has a set of synonyms after each major word in which it gives you the closest synonyms on the one hand, but then the exact difference in meaning among them. This is judgment, detailing what a thing is and what a thing is not, the precise outline of its boundary.

You may have noted all through my writing that I have a penchant for defining what I mean by a word I am using. This judgment is so critical to the truth, for if we are not hearing the same meaning when a particular word is used, then no true communication is taking place from me to you. In fact, without the exact same definitions for the words, you will be hearing something I am not saying. And the two biggest and most important definitions we must have are – What is God? and What is man? We are closer than we have been to an exact judgment, but we still have a ways to go.

Judgment also determines beauty and value. When you look at something to determine how beautiful or how valuable that thing is to you, you use a set of finely honed distinctions of judgment, this against that, in your determination. In fact, you run through such a process almost automatically without really thinking about what you are actually doing.

Judgment, then, as a tool for a Caller of God, is that perceived definition by which we join a person, in our seeing, with those specific words and meanings coming out from God through Jesus to become them. You cannot judge anyone without first knowing them.

Here is the judgment of the law. “Does our law judge a man before it hears him and knows what he is doing?” (John 7:51). The law requires knowing the testimony and intentions of the heart before judging. Nonetheless, the judgment of Christ is greater. Here is the judgment of Christ. – For of Him and through Him and to Him are all things (Romans 11:36).

Judgment Separates. Separating one thing from all other things is the meaning of judgment. And so, just as judgment determines what a thing is, it also determines what it is not. You will see me using this aspect of judgment often in the Symmorphy texts, which are written for the college classroom. Many of the charts I created were meant for judgment, to show the distinction between one thing and another.

But judgment as separation works in another direction as well. Consider the popular song, “This Is Me,” from The Greatest Showman with Hugh Jackman. Everyone who sings it out from their own hearts is speaking the truth in part and speaking made-up nonsense in part. People do not know who and what they are, coming out from Father as an expression of His vast personality. They sense deep things that are true, but, being disconnected from their knowledge of God, they also latch onto identities and stories of self that are not true.

As we call God into the knowledge of each, then, our judgment, burning as a fire, shows the difference between that which is truly them and that which is not. This separation is an essential part of judgment; indeed, it is essential to the vast process of writing an exhaustive dictionary.

Judgment Transforms. The primary transformation of anything is peace followed by joy. This is the fruit of giving thanks. Transformation is not a human becoming something entirely different. Transformation is the rest of giving thanks in full acceptance that, “Yes, this that is me is coming entirely out from my Father, and He shares my life with me.”

The thing that is actually changing from one thing to another is the seeing, both the seeing of the one judging another and the seeing of one judging themselves. There is not that much change in outward appearance, except that human change that comes from the expressions of bitterness turning to the expressions of love, or stress-filled fear turning into peace.

But because the seeing of the eye changes dramatically, a person once deemed inferior is now seen to be valuable above all things and a joy to know and to walk together with. This is the true transformation, an essential aspect of judgment.

Judgment Gives Life. Finally, judgment gives life; judgment brings life to all.

There are three gospel terms that we use that are three different ways of saying the exact same thing. Those three terms are salvation, age-unfolding life, and knowing Father through knowing Jesus Sent. Salvation is knowing Father with me through Jesus, and I know my life unfolding into and as my every present moment out from Father through Jesus.

Then, one thing that can also be said in two different ways is this. – My life unfolds out from God’s thoughts concerning me through the good-speaking of Jesus to become my own life experience. – AND – Jesus lives as me.

When judgment has completed its work, then the individual who has been judged to completion will know only ”Father with me through Jesus.” And that is LIFE.

Sent as Judgment
I want to include here a passage from “The Song of Moses,” that is, Deuteronomy 32:1-4.
Give ear, O heavens, and I will speak; and hear, O earth, the words of my mouth. Let my teaching drop as the rain, my speech distill as the dew, as raindrops on the tender herb, and as showers on the grass. For I proclaim the name of the Lord: ascribe greatness to our God. He is the Rock, His work is perfect; for all His ways are justice, a God of truth and without injustice; righteous and upright is He.

I thought about inserting a couple of chapters next regarding the meaning of justice and restitution in God’s final answer to everything. I have decided to place those chapters much later in this text in order not to break the flow here.

Look through these verses from Deuteronomy. Notice how Moses weaves together Fire, Water, Earth, and Air. “Without injustice” means “without the absence of fire.”

God requires justice. God requires that every evil deed done in the darkness be brought into the light and that all that was stolen be returned to the one who suffered loss, even double.

Inflicting suffering and loss on others through one’s short time alive on this earth seems a simple thing. The restoration of all things by justice, however, will be the work of ages for many.

Forgiveness CANNOT remove justice, else it would also remove God.

Consider carefully and deeply these four verses together, all from John, who remained a son of thunder even after he had been transformed by Paul’s gospel. Except now, the fire of his youth had become the true justice of God.

Do not love the world {the present cosmos, the present order of heaven with earth, of spiritual and physical darkness together}, nor the things in the world. If anyone should love the world, the love of the Father is not inside of him. – We know that we are of God, and the whole, entire cosmos {the present connection of heaven and earth} is set inside of the evil one (1 John 2:17 & 5:19).

The original serpent who is called the devil [the accuser] and Satan [the adversary] who is deceiving the entire inhabited world. – Come out of her My people, so that you may not have fellowship together with her sins and so that you may not receive out of her afflictions and beatings. For her sins have been joined together as far as heaven, and God has considered her injustices. Give back to her as she has given back; and double to her twofold according to her works. In the cup which she has mixed, mix to her double (Revelation 12:8 & 18:4-6).

A Christian can imagine that they are living a “clean” life. Nonetheless, when they join themselves to this world, whether in waving the flags or swearing allegiance or killing by command, whatever the cause or the human crusade, it makes no difference. EVERYTHING inside of this present world order IS inside of the evil one and when one swears an oath of the heart in a love attachment to this world, then whatever wickedness is being committed by the liars and thieves behind that flag, the Christian is also committing those same wicked deeds. When you vote for a politician, you are committing every wicked deed he or she commits together with them. Those who vote for the “lesser” evil are choosing evil.

Understand that politicians serve one purpose and that is to get everyone’s attention on them and off of their true danger. This works equally as much for those who “hate” the president as those who imagine that the president is doing “good.” Do not attach your emotions or your hope or your eyes upon any political person, for you ARE being deceived about them, as John said.

The statement, “Doesn’t God forgive everybody” has exactly ZERO meaning. The fact that eternal damnation doesn’t exist HAS NO MEANING. There is no ministry of Christ to be found in telling people that something that doesn’t exist doesn’t exist. One would profit people just as much by telling everyone that there is no such thing as a hunkydoriphuleous.

I do NOT want to know what FIRE does not mean. I want to know the God who fills me with ALL the FIRE that He is.

And I want to know what GOD MEANS by Fire and by hades, by justice and by restitution. For this is the God coming through me and entering into my world out from my heart.

You see, those who root out the New Testament verses concerning everlasting fire are not correctly defining the word “forever and ever,” but rather showing that they do not know a God of Fire. They have chosen to retain the pagan definition of fire rather than to know what God actually means, through Jesus, by all that Fire is.

God-Fire does not destroy men’s lives, but saves them.

Never in all the history of the world has it been more important to everyone that JUDGMENT and JUSTICE step forth into the earth than right now in these last days of the age of human folly.

Judgment alone is the first entrance of God into the knowledge of all. And that judgment is always to life. In fact, it is the only passage from death to life.

Every offense you committed was against another person. By that theft of something rightfully belonging to them, you bound yourself to that person. You will look them in the eye and in the heart and you will not be released until you have won their release. There is only one escape from anyone and everyone whom you have offended, you must make them your dear and close friend forever.

You will receive life through judgment only as you give life to each one whom you have offended to full measure.

Is this not the doing of God? Is this not justice?

The God we know will never allow anyone to get away with hurting another person, and the only resolution of that hurt is the full acceptance of friendship.

If you want to see a vivid picture of such a thing in real life, then watch The Railroad Man with Colin Firth. Though the story is portrayed by superb actors, it is a true story. Forgiveness is FIRE, and the only resolution is friendship.

Mutual forgiveness is the ONLY passage out from hades, for where animosity remains, hades must continue until the last individual human is willing to accept the love of Jesus inside their own horror. This is Paul’s – every knee bowing.

Judgment is given to us.

The task of showing each individual person how what they are deep inside and all through their human essence is coming out from God through Jesus, the task of showing each individual that every particle of their made-up false identities is worth less than nothing, and the task of bringing them to full connection with the first and full casting off of the second IS GIVEN TO US.

This is how we call God into the knowledge of each by judgment.
