 The dimension understanding of righteousness is the central basis of our salvation and our sanctification. Because people naturally try to impose their prejudice on the moral equation of judging things by the law of God, it is first necessary to understand God alone is righteous. He is in heaven and He not only is the alone law giver but He alone is the judge and the jury. This is why all earthly systems of government are subject to being removed out of the way.Because God wants to maintain His glory and not share it with any other human being, He has given us His Son as the only source of salvation and righteousness. He has allowed us to be tested and found wanting in our ability to be justified and good, in order to show us that we are completely dependent on Him. He has turned the system of human justice upside down, and we view things like righteousness as advancing in a dimensional system of checks and balances. But this is not the God-centered view of the universe.God has His covenant people who gather together before the only judge of the universe. We look at the wheels of democracy and conclude that our system declares men guilty or innocent. However, God operates according to a different system. God sits on His throne as the judge and He puts his feet on the ground in justice. This is why God adjudicates through His earthly covenant people. Therefore, it is only through His covenant people that God can exercise His justice. This is why His feet are a symbol of communication, because He works through His Son, who represents the faithful gathering of the saints. The gathering of the saints is a group of soldiers who are fighting for the Lord.When God joins Himself to His people, He makes everything right. He looks at them through the lens of His word and He declares them to be the judge and jury of all the world. This is why God comes as the great Judge before His people. He empowers them to rule the earth as kings and queens.He sends them out as accepted soldiers who advance His kingdom and thwart the system of man by refusing to participate in bloodshed. In this way, God advances the justice system of this earth by identifying with His church.Because God is not constrained by human systems or dependent on humans to carry out His will, but rather He Himself brings about whatever He decrees, He does not need humans to act as His witnesses or to prove His righteousness. Rather, He works to defend His people and display His righteousness to the world, even to those who do not deserve it. The reason that God will not allow humans to share in His glory is because we must be totally dependent on Him as the one who declares what is just. In the third dimension, those who call upon this great Judge are those who have been declared righteous by Him.The reason for this is that God does not select people based on the standards of the world. Instead, God chooses a people who are considered unworthy in the world's eyes. God has a hidden system of justice that is controlled by the gathering of heavenly beings who worship God night and day. From that gathering, God readies His forces - the angels - whose power is immeasurable and whose number is uncountable. He prepares His chariot to come to the rescue of His poor and helpless saints.The world system is fundamentally at odds with God's plans and purposes, as evidenced by their attempts to harm and mistreat the vulnerable. However, God hears the cries of His saints and intervenes on their behalf, saving them from death. God does this because He is gracious and promises to save a people for Himself, and to protect them with His righteous right hand. In doing so, He shows His great love and mercy for His people, and His power to overcome the evil of the world.
