For God to actually be the "God of gods", these other gods
must really exist; therefore, it seems to me that they must
be these other sons of God whom we have already spoken
about. It might interest you to know that this word "god" is
taken from the Hebrew word "Elohim", or "Elohiym", which is
actually the plural form of "el", or "ale"; although it is
normally translated in the singular form. Consider what the
Hebrew lexicon reveals regarding this word:

'elohiym {el-o-heem'}

1) (plural, KJV)
1a) rulers, judges
1b) divine ones
1c) angels
1d) gods
2) (plural intensive - singular meaning)
2a) god, goddess
2b) godlike one
2c) works or special possessions of God
2d) the (true) God
2e) God

Considering the above definitions, it certainly seems to fit
that these sons of god are the Angelic Ministers in the
Courts of Heaven; as well as the Spiritual Warriors who
fight evil; and the Angelic Messengers or Envoys, from the
Hebrew "malak" or "aggelos", sent to impart certain
information to humanity. I also discuss this topic in other
articles which I encourage you to read. These include "The
Urantia Book: A Dangerous New Age Doctrine!", "Satan: King
of Tyrus, King Of Empires! Part One" and others. Considering
the reality of these facts, we would all be wise to take
heed to the following advice from the Apostle Paul:

"Be not forgetful to entertain strangers: for thereby some
have entertained angels unawares."
(Hebrews 13:2, KJV)

From a human perspective, these spiritual beings are all
gods to us; but, as we have already seen, they are lower in
rank that Jesus Christ because they were apparently created
by Him. Jesus truly is preeminent, and the Beloved of His
Father. He occupies first place in the Divine One's Heart.
Consider again some of the verses I shared earlier:

"And he is the head of the body, the church: who is the
beginning, the firstborn from the dead; that in all things
he might have the preeminence."
(Colossians 1:18, KJV)

"Being made so much better than the angels, as he hath by
inheritance obtained a more excellent name than they. For
unto which of the angels said he at any time, Thou art my
Son, this day have I begotten thee? And again, I will be to
him a Father, and he shall be to me a Son? . . . But to
which of the angels said he at any time, Sit on my right
hand, until I make thine enemies thy footstool?"
(Hebrews 1:4-5, 13, KJV)

"Without father, without mother, without descent, having
neither beginning of days, nor end of life; but made like
unto the Son of God; abideth a priest continually."
(Hebrews 7:3, KJV)

Thus, contrary to what is believed by the supporters of that
demonic tome, the Urantia Book, the Unbelief Book, Jesus
Christ is not just one of many "Creator Sons" of God; He is
truly unique. He is above them all, and in fact created them
all, based upon the Scriptural evidence that we have looked
at. In fact, let us not forget that God's whole Plan of
Salvation has the ultimate goal of creating new sons and
daughters of God from the pool of human beings right here on
Planet Earth. Just as I have pointed out in other articles
such as "The Children Of Light: Are You One Of Us?", one of
these days we are going to see the complete fulfillment of
the Salvation Plan, when we are finally raised to Eternal
Life in incorruptible spiritual bodies just like Jesus
Christ. In that day, we will truly be the sons and daughters
of God in every sense of the word! It is going to be one
glorious day for all of us!

This brings us to the final revelation I wish to share in
this article; and it all goes back to our discussion
concerning Jesus Christ as Melchizedek, the High Priest of
God. Have you ever wondered what we are going to be doing
once we are resurrected? From previous verses that we have
looked at, we know that we will be miraculously transformed,
so that we will be just like Jesus, correct? Aside from the
fact that it means that we will all possess super powerful
spiritual bodies just like Him, what else could it possibly
mean? From everything I have studied on this issue, the
answer seems quite clear; and it truly thrills me! Exactly
what is Jesus' current role in the Courts of Heaven? Here
again is the Scriptural answer for you:

"Who is he that condemneth? It is Christ that died, yea
rather, that is risen again, who is even at the right hand
of God, who also maketh intercession for us."
(Romans 8:34, KJV)

"Wherefore he is able also to save them to the uttermost
that come unto God by him, seeing he ever liveth to make
intercession for them."
(Hebrews 7:25, KJV)

Just like the Levitical Priesthood of ages gone by, having
offered up Himself as the Perfect and Final Sacrifice, Jesus
now occupies the position of High Priest who intercedes for
the people of Earth night and day before the Throne of God.
As Paul stated, unlike the ancient Levitical Priesthood,
Jesus will not be replaced by anyone, for He is Eternal. It
is my belief then, based upon the Scriptural evidence, that
we may possibly fulfill a similar but smaller role during
the Millennium, and perhaps even afterwards. Consider the
following verses to see why this may be so:

"Ye also, as lively stones, are built up a spiritual house,
an holy priesthood, to offer up spiritual sacrifices,
acceptable to God by Jesus Christ."
(1 Peter 2:5, KJV)

"But ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, an holy
nation, a peculiar people; that ye should shew forth the
praises of him who hath called you out of darkness into his
marvellous light:"
(1 Peter 2:9, KJV)

"And hath made us kings and priests unto God and his Father;
to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen."
(Revelation 1:6, KJV)

"And hast made us unto our God kings and priests: and we
shall reign on the earth."
(Revelation 5:10, KJV)

"Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first
resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but
they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign
with him a thousand years."
(Revelation 20:6, KJV)

Can it be any more thrilling than that? I may be wrong, but
it seems to me that this may be the identity of the order of
priests known as Melchizedek. From the time of Moses, until
the destruction of the First Temple in Jerusalem by the
Babylonians in about the year 587 B.C., and then again
during the Second Temple period up until 70 A.D. when it was
once again destroyed by the Romans, the Jews always had a
high priest. However, there were also lower priests as well
who worked in the Temple. As John the Revelator tells us,
there is now no longer any need for a physical temple
because as he wrote:

"And I saw no temple therein: for the Lord God Almighty and
the Lamb are the temple of it."
(Revelation 21:22, KJV)

This is exactly where we may fit into the picture! Just as
Jesus is the High Priest who currently intercedes for us
before the Throne of God, perhaps during the Millennium, we
will be interceding for the people of Earth before the
Throne of Jesus Christ. In other words, perhaps we will be
their intercessory priests. Wouldn't this be amazing? The
reason that I speculate that we may be doing this, is for
the very same reason that Jesus currently makes the perfect
Intercessor and High Priest for us. The following verse
provides a clue:

"For we have not an high priest which cannot be touched with
the feeling of our infirmities; but was in all points
tempted like as we are, yet without sin."
(Hebrews 4:15, KJV)

Who could possibly make better intercessors for the
remaining people of Earth than those who have lived among
them as fellow human beings? Of course, we will then be in
our Resurrected Super-Bodies, but we will certainly not
forget our former experiences; that is, our sufferings, our
problems, our sins, shortcomings and weaknesses, our trials
and tribulations, etc. Perhaps for this reason we will be
pleading their cause before the Throne of Jesus. Right now
we all tend to become upset at times with some of these
rebellious God-haters and Christ-mockers. They can certainly
test one's patience. All we can do is pray that God will
work in their lives and break their pride and their haughty
arrogant spirits. By doing this, we are already interceding
for them; even if we are praying for judgment upon them in
order to wake them up.
