Volume 24 — May 6, 1928 “The children of the Divine Will shall not touch the earth. Bitternesses of Jesus. The electric wire.”
STAGE ONE — Independent Biblical Identification
The Children of the DW Shall Not Touch the Earth
“My love toward the children of my Will will be such and so great, that I will not permit that they touch the earth. I will lay my steps under their feet so that, if they walk, they may touch my steps, not the earth… If they work, they will feel the touch of my works which, lining up, will communicate to their works the virtue of my Will. If they speak, if they think, they will feel the life of my words and of my thoughts which, investing them, will communicate to their minds and words the virtue of my Fiat. So, I Myself will be the carrier of the children of my Will… they will be the most beautiful works of my creative hands… They will be the triumph of my Redemption – everything shall triumph in them. Then will I be able to say: ‘My works are complete’, and I will take rest in the midst of the children of my Supreme Fiat.”
Psalm 91:11–12 — “For he will put his angels in charge of you, to guard you in all your ways. They will bear you up in their hands, so that you won’t dash your foot against a stone.” Jesus himself bearing the DW children and not permitting them to touch the earth is the fulfillment of this Psalm at its deepest register: not angels but Christ himself as the carrier, laying his steps under their feet so they walk on him rather than on anything beneath. Direct doctrinal parallel
Galatians 2:20 — “I have been crucified with Christ, and it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. That life which I now live in the flesh, I live by faith in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself up for me.” The DW child’s works lined up with Christ’s works, thoughts invested with his thoughts, steps touching his steps — this is Galatians 2:20 experienced as progressive displacement: the creaturely is not destroyed but is taken up into Christ’s own operational life. Direct doctrinal parallel
Ephesians 2:10 — “For we are his workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared before that we would walk in them.” The DW children as “the most beautiful works of my creative hands” corresponds to this Pauline designation: the creature as God’s masterwork, prepared beforehand for the works now being placed under Christ’s own steps. Direct doctrinal parallel
Philippians 1:6 — “being confident of this very thing, that he who began a good work in you will complete it until the day of Jesus Christ.” Jesus bringing his work to completion in the DW children — “then will I be able to say: ‘My works are complete’” — is the fulfillment of this Pauline assurance. Hogan cites this explicitly. Direct doctrinal parallel
Colossians 3:3 — “For you died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God.” The DW children “not touching the earth” — their life entirely hidden with Christ, so that what touches the world is Christ’s own life operating through theirs. Direct doctrinal parallel
John 15:4–5 — “Remain in me, and I in you. As the branch can’t bear fruit by itself unless it remains in the vine, so neither can you, unless you remain in me. I am the vine. You are the branches. He who remains in me and I in him bears much fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing.” The mutual operational indwelling by which Jesus lines up his works with the creature’s — “abide in me” is the condition; the works lined up are the fruit. Direct doctrinal parallel
Genesis 2:2–3 (CPDV) — “And on the seventh day, God fulfilled his work, which he had made. And on the seventh day he rested from all his work, which he had accomplished And he blessed the seventh day and sanctified it. For in it, he had ceased from all his work: the work whereby God created whatever he should make” Jesus taking rest “in the midst of the children of my Supreme Fiat” when “My works are complete” is the eschatological Sabbath: the creation that began with God’s rest having completed his work ends with the same — but now the children of the DW are the new creation in whose midst God rests. Typological
Hebrews 4:9–11 — “There remains therefore a Sabbath rest for the people of God. For he who has entered into his rest has himself also rested from his works, as God did from his. Let’s therefore give diligence to enter into that rest, lest anyone fall after the same example of disobedience.” The DW children not touching the earth are those who have entered the divine rest; and God’s rest “in their midst” is the other side of the same reality: they rest in him as he rests in them. Direct doctrinal parallel
1 Corinthians 15:28 — “When all things have been subjected to him, then the Son will also himself be subjected to him who subjected all things to him, that God may be all in all.” The moment when Jesus can say “My works are complete” corresponds to the Pauline eschatological completion — the moment when God is all in all, which is the DW’s universal reign realized. Direct doctrinal parallel
2 Corinthians 5:17 — “Therefore if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation. The old things have passed away. Behold, all things have become new.” The DW children as the completion of Redemption and Creation — they are the new creation that Redemption prepared and that the DW establishes. Direct doctrinal parallel
Bitternesses of Jesus: The Feast Interrupted by Distrust
“When I manifest a truth, I do it because I want to celebrate with the creature; but if she does not have full trust in Me and begins to doubt, the feast is interrupted and turns into bitterness. I act like one of two intimate friends: loving his friend very much, he wants to pour what his heart contains into the heart of his friend… Loving so much the one whom I have chosen as my little secretary, I want to pour my Heart out and entrust to her my secrets, my joys, my hidden sorrows, my surprising truths, to celebrate together with her and to communicate to her divine lives for as many truths as I keep manifesting to her. If I see that she believes Me, I celebrate, and put out in feast the joys and the happiness that a divine life can possess… But if I see her hesitant, I remain embittered, and she remains empty of the life which I would like to entrust to her.”
John 15:14–15 — “You are my friends if you do whatever I command you. No longer do I call you servants, for the servant doesn’t know what his lord does. But I have called you friends, for everything that I heard from my Father, I have made known to you.” The intimate-friend analogy is the Johannine friendship-disclosure narrative: Jesus pouring out “my secrets, my joys, my hidden sorrows, my surprising truths” to Luisa is precisely what John 15:15 describes as the content of friendship — the Father’s secrets made known. Direct doctrinal parallel
Psalm 25:14 — “The friendship of the LORD is with those who fear him. He will show them his covenant.” The Hebrew sod — the LORD’s intimate counsel and secret — is shared only with those who fear him. The entry’s feast of divine disclosure corresponds to this covenantal intimacy: God reveals his hidden things to the one chosen to receive them. Direct doctrinal parallel
Song of Songs 5:2–6 — “I was asleep, but my heart was awake. It is the voice of my beloved who knocks: “Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew, and my hair with the dampness of the night.” I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them? My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening. My heart pounded for him. I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the lock. I opened to my beloved; but my beloved left, and had gone away. My heart went out when he spoke. I looked for him, but I didn’t find him. I called him, but he didn’t answer.” The beloved who withdraws when the loved one delays or doubts is the Song of Songs form of Jesus withdrawing “full of bitterness” when Luisa doubts: the night-knocking corresponds to the divine initiative that meets hesitation and turns to grief. Typological
James 1:5–8 — “But if any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given to him. But let him ask in faith, without any doubting, for he who doubts is like a wave of the sea, driven by the wind and tossed. For that man shouldn’t think that he will receive anything from the Lord. He is a double-minded man, unstable in all his ways.” The doubting that interrupts the feast has this character: the double-minded soul tossed by the wind cannot receive what is given generously without reproach. Direct doctrinal parallel
Hebrews 11:6 — “Without faith it is impossible to be well pleasing to him, for he who comes to God must believe that he exists, and that he is a rewarder of those who seek him.” Trust as the condition of the divine feast; distrust as the condition of bitterness. The entry is Hebrews 11:6 at the level of mystic disclosure: faith is what allows the feast; its absence empties the soul. Direct doctrinal parallel
John 14:1 — “Don’t let your heart be troubled. Believe in God. Believe also in me.” The direct command that corresponds to Jesus’s closing exhortation: “be attentive, and do not want to turn my joys into bitternesses.” The same divine impulse — not to let the heart’s trouble prevent reception. Direct doctrinal parallel
Isaiah 55:10–11 — “For as the rain comes down and the snow from the sky, and doesn’t return there, but waters the earth, and makes it grow and bud, and gives seed to the sower and bread to the eater; so is my word that goes out of my mouth: it will not return to me void, but it will accomplish that which I please, and it will prosper in the thing I sent it to do.” The writings bearing life when received — “the life of the truths that Jesus has told me remains in them, in such a way that those who will read them will feel… a life that is being infused in them” — is Isaiah 55:10–11 applied to the specific medium of the 36 volumes. The word that does not return empty is the living word that produces the harvest in those who receive it. Direct doctrinal parallel
John 6:63 — “It is the spirit who gives life. The flesh profits nothing. The words that I speak to you are spirit, and are life.” Luisa’s self-discernment — “if it was not Jesus that spoke to me, these will be writings without life” — is the experiential application of John 6:63: the words are spirit and life because Jesus speaks them; without that source they are empty. Direct doctrinal parallel
The Electric Wire: The Human Will Converted into Light and Sun
“As the soul enters into my Will she puts her electric wire in It, which extends to any point at which one wants to form light… the electricity of my Will extends the wire of the human will and, more than light bulb, forms its little light at whatever point the soul would like to reach before God. And God, on seeing the little light of the human will, invests it, and with the electricity of His divine light He converts it into Sun, and forms the most beautiful ornament for His divine throne… it is so beautiful and delightful to see that the soul from earth, on entering my Divine Will, puts her electric wire for Heaven in It. And it extends so much as to reach the center of It, which is God, forming His ornament of light; and these lights convert into Sun.”
Matthew 13:43 — “Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the Kingdom of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear.” The entry’s central image — the creature’s little light converted into Sun by the electricity of the divine light — finds its most direct scriptural correspondence here. The righteous shining like the sun in the Kingdom is this entry’s present-tense reality: the soul who enters the DW begins the conversion of her little light into Sun now, not only eschatologically. Direct doctrinal parallel
Matthew 5:14–16 — “You are the light of the world. A city located on a hill can’t be hidden. Neither do you light a lamp and put it under a measuring basket, but on a stand; and it shines to all who are in the house. Even so, let your light shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father who is in heaven.” The little light of the creature’s will in the DW, converted into Sun and formed as ornament for the divine throne — this is Matthew 5:14 at its fullest realization: the light given becomes Sun, and the Father is glorified. Direct doctrinal parallel
2 Corinthians 4:6 — “seeing it is God who said, “Light will shine out of darkness,” who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.” The divine electricity converting the creature’s little light to Sun corresponds to the creative act repeated in the interior: “Let light shine out of darkness” is spoken again into the creature’s will, and the same divine power that created light at the beginning now converts the little human light into solar magnitude. Direct doctrinal parallel
1 John 1:5 — “This is the message which we have heard from him and announce to you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all.” The DW as the electricity of divine light — God is not merely the source of light but is light itself, so that the wire which reaches God reaches into the center of infinite light. Direct doctrinal parallel
Daniel 12:3 — “Those who are wise will shine as the brightness of the expanse. Those who turn many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever.” The creature’s little light converted into Sun corresponds to this eschatological shining — not static but radiant, a brightness communicating itself. Typological
Isaiah 60:1–3 — “Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the LORD’s glory has risen on you! For behold, darkness will cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the LORD will arise on you, and his glory shall be seen on you. Nations will come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your rising.” God investing the creature’s little light with his glory — “with the electricity of His divine light He converts it into Sun” — is this Isaian glory-rising applied to the individual soul in the DW. Typological
Revelation 21:23 — “The city has no need for the sun or moon to shine, for the very glory of God illuminated it and its lamp is the Lamb.” The creature’s will as a lamp for the divine glory — the electric-wire image corresponds to the Lamb as the lamp whose light is God’s own glory. The creature who enters the DW becomes this lamp: God’s light passing through the creature’s will. Typological
Proverbs 4:18 — “But the path of the righteous is like the dawning light that shines more and more until the perfect day.” The progressive conversion of the little light into Sun — shining brighter until it becomes full solar light — is this Proverb’s principle applied to the DW soul’s interior transformation. Affective/meditative
STAGE TWO — Comparison with Hogan’s Commentary
CORRESPONDENCES
Both Stage One and Hogan identify the first movement’s carrying-without-touching-the-earth as the entry’s opening gift, with both noting that “the earth” means everything below the DW’s level rather than physical ground. Both identify the intimate-friend analogy as the governing image of the second movement. Both identify the electric wire as a contemporary technological metaphor for the soul’s connection to the DW.
DEVIATIONS
Hogan reads the first movement’s “triumph of Redemption” primarily through the lens of personal application — “Jesus, have your triumph in me” — emphasizing the individual completeness that God intends for each DW soul. Stage One grounded the “triumph” claim in the Pauline theology of the new creation (2 Cor 5:17, 1 Cor 15:28, Eph 2:10), illuminating the eschatological-cosmic dimension of what the individual experience enacts. These are complementary: Hogan’s pastoral angle brings the cosmic claim to the creature’s immediate appropriation; Stage One’s theological angle identifies what that claim actually asserts about the completion of creation and redemption.
For the electric wire, Hogan unpacks the contemporary electrical analogy step by step (plug into the socket, the current travels, the light bulb forms), while Stage One moves directly to the scriptural register (Matt 13:43, Matt 5:14, 2 Cor 4:6). The two approaches are not competing but layered: Hogan clarifies the metaphor; Stage One identifies its scriptural weight.

ADDITIONS — HERS
-
Philippians 1:6 — Hogan cites this explicitly: “he who began this good work in you will bring it to completion at the day of Jesus Christ.” Applied to the first movement — Jesus completing his work in the DW children corresponds to Paul’s assurance of divine completeness. Stage One identified this text independently but Hogan’s citation confirms its load-bearing weight.
-
Matthew 7:6 (allusion) — “pearls before swine” — Hogan applies this to the second movement: the creature who doubts and does not receive the divine disclosure is treating it as the swine treat pearls — pushing it aside in favor of one’s own concerns. The implicit scriptural background is this, and Hogan names it. Stage One did not include this text.
-
Psalm 25:14 (confirmed by Hogan’s approach) — Hogan’s reading of the secrets-and-friendship passage as the sharing of “deep things” that is the content of true friendship corresponds to Stage One’s use of Psalm 25:14, though Hogan does not cite it explicitly.
VIP / SPECIAL DESIGNATIONS
No VIP designation by Hogan for this entry.
STAGE TWO SYNTHESIS
The entry is structured around three gifts given to the DW soul: the gift of Christ’s own operational life substituted for the creature’s (first movement), the gift of divine intimacy in which secrets and joys are shared (second movement), and the gift of divine electricity that converts the creature’s little light into Sun (third movement). The Pauline tradition (Gal 2:20, Eph 2:10, Phil 1:6, 1 Cor 15:28, Col 3:3, 2 Cor 5:17) governs the first movement’s anthropological frame. The Johannine friendship tradition (John 15:14–15, Ps 25:14, Song 5:2–6, James 1:5–8) governs the second movement’s intimacy-and-trust dynamic. The light-transformation tradition (Matt 13:43, Matt 5:14, 2 Cor 4:6, Dan 12:3, Is 60:1–3) governs the third movement’s solar conversion. Hogan’s most significant Stage Two contributions are Philippians 1:6 (confirming the completion-theme as the first movement’s eschatological anchor) and Matthew 7:6 (naming the spiritual-swine register for the distrust that turns the feast to bitterness).
Cross-Entry Synthesis
Volume 24 — May 6, 1928 “The children of the Divine Will shall not touch the earth. Bitternesses of Jesus. The electric wire.”
The Children of the DW Shall Not Touch the Earth
The first movement delivers the most formally jealous account of divine protectiveness in the corpus: Jesus not merely guarding the DW children from harm but actively interposing himself between them and everything beneath — his steps under their feet, his works lining up with their works, his words investing their words. The entry does not describe a state of spiritual protection but a mode of operation: the DW children’s every movement is mediated through Christ’s own prior movement, so that what they touch is Christ, not the earth.
Psalm 91:11–12 provides the textual surface — the bearing-up motif — but the entry’s claim goes further: it is not angels who bear up but Christ himself, laying his steps as a living floor. Galatians 2:20 provides the Pauline interior of this image: “It is no longer I who live, but Christ who lives in me.” The steps-under-feet image is Galatians 2:20 from the spatial perspective: the creature does not cease to walk but her walking is entirely inside Christ’s prior walking. Colossians 3:3 (life hidden with Christ in God) and John 15:4–5 (abide in me) provide the indwelling registers.
The movement closes with the eschatological telos: Jesus saying “My works are complete” and resting in the midst of the DW children. Hogan’s application — “Jesus, have your triumph in me” — is the pastoral appropriation of what Stage One grounds in the Pauline eschatological completion: 1 Corinthians 15:28 (God all in all when all is subjected), Genesis 2:2–3 (the Sabbath rest after completed works), and Hebrews 4:9–11 (the Sabbath rest that remains for the people of God). The DW children are the new creation (2 Cor 5:17) whose completion enables God to rest again — a cosmic Sabbath in which human history’s purpose is fulfilled. Philippians 1:6 (Hogan) names the assurance: he who began the good work will bring it to completion.
Bitternesses of Jesus: The Feast Interrupted by Distrust
The second movement is the most formally detailed DFR-1 (Divine-Friendship-Revelation) statement in the corpus. The divine friendship is here given its interior content: Jesus wishes to “pour my Heart out and entrust to her my secrets, my joys, my hidden sorrows, my surprising truths.” The feast-framework is the disclosure-as-celebration: when Jesus manifests a truth, he is not merely instructing but celebrating — the feast is the event of divine friendship in which God shares what he possesses.
John 15:14–15 provides the Johannine ground: “all that I have heard from my Father I have made known to you” is the content of friendship distinguished from servanthood. Psalm 25:14 provides the OT register: the LORD’s sod — his intimate counsel — is given to those he takes into his covenant. The entry’s friend-analogy is these two texts in narrative form, extended to the specific disclosure-mode of the 36 volumes.
The bitterness-formula is the entry’s sharpest psychological observation: distrust does not merely fail to receive the gift but actively converts the giver’s celebration into grief. Song of Songs 5:2–6 provides the most precise typological parallel: the beloved knocking at night, the loved one delaying, and the beloved withdrawing. The structure of initiative → hesitation → withdrawal → grief is Song of Songs 5 applied to the mystic disclosure-mode. James 1:5–8 provides the epistemological analysis: the doubter is “like a wave of the sea, driven and tossed” — structurally incapable of receiving what is given generously, because reception requires the stability of faith.
Luisa’s self-discernment criterion — “if it was not Jesus that spoke to me, these will be writings without life” — is the experiential application of John 6:63: “the words that I have spoken to you are spirit and life.” The criterion of verification is interior: the writings either bear the communicative virtue of Christ’s living word or they do not. Isaiah 55:10–11 provides the promise: the divine word does not return empty but accomplishes its purpose — which means the writings that are alive will accomplish it in those who receive them. Hogan’s Matthew 7:6 application (pearls before swine) names the inverse: the soul who cannot receive is treating the divine disclosure as the swine treat pearls, pushing them aside without recognizing their infinite worth.
The Electric Wire: Human Will Converted into Light and Sun
The third movement introduces the entry’s most technologically contemporary image — electrical current — as the vehicle for a doctrine that is continuous with the entire corpus’s light-theology but now given a new and precise metaphorical anatomy. The creature’s will entering the DW is a plug in a socket; the DW’s electricity extends the wire to any point the soul wishes to reach; the light forms not where the wire is plugged in but where it ends, at God; God then invests the little light with his divine electricity and converts it into Sun.
The distinction between where the wire is placed (earth, the human will) and where the light forms (God, the divine center) is the entry’s most precise statement of the creature’s interiority-transformation by the DW: the work is done at God’s end, not the creature’s. The creature provides the wire (her will entering the DW); the light-conversion is entirely God’s act. 2 Corinthians 4:6 governs: “God, who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness,’ has shone in our hearts.” The same creative act that produced light at the beginning is performed again in the creature’s interior, and the result is the same proportion of divinity: solar light, not lamplight.
Matthew 13:43 provides the eschatological frame — “the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father” — but the entry insists this is not only a future promise. The conversion is happening now through the DW’s operation: the soul enters the DW, puts her wire in, and “God, on seeing the little light of the human will, invests it.” Daniel 12:3 (the wise shining like the brightness of the sky) and Isaiah 60:1–3 (the glory of the LORD rising upon the creature so that nations come to her light) provide the prophetic frame for the same present-tense solar conversion. Revelation 21:23 (the lamp of the Lamb) provides the eschatological completion: the creature’s will, converted into Sun, becomes the lamp for the divine glory’s own radiance.
The ornament-for-the-divine-throne image connects the third movement back to the first: the DW children who are “the most beautiful works of my creative hands” are the same souls whose little lights, converted into Sun, form ornaments for the divine throne. The two images are the same reality from different angles: the first describes what Christ does for and in the DW children; the third describes what the DW children become before God as a result.
Synthesis
Dominant biblical imagination: The entry is governed by the Pauline theology of Christ-substitution (Gal 2:20, Col 3:3, Eph 2:10, Phil 1:6, 2 Cor 5:17), the Johannine friendship-disclosure tradition (John 15:14–15, John 14:1, 1 John 1:5, John 6:63), and the prophetic light-transformation tradition (Matt 13:43, Matt 5:14, 2 Cor 4:6, Dan 12:3, Is 60:1–3). The three movements are unified by the single principle that the DW allows Christ to substitute himself for every creaturely operation — walking, working, speaking, thinking, trusting, radiating — until the creature is nothing but the vehicle of his operational presence.
Most load-bearing scriptural traditions: Galatians 2:20 (no longer I but Christ; the carrying/substitution structure); John 15:14–15 (friends know each other’s secrets; the DFR-1 ground); Matthew 13:43 and 2 Corinthians 4:6 (the little light converted into Sun; the creative act repeated in the interior); and Genesis 2:2–3 / Hebrews 4:9–11 (the eschatological Sabbath when the works are complete).
Three findings of highest theological significance: First, the DWR-1 / Sabbath register in the first movement’s close: Jesus resting in the midst of the completed DW children corresponds to Genesis 2:2–3 — the DW children are the new creation in whose completed existence God finds his eschatological rest; Hebrews 4:9–11 grounds this in the doctrine of the Sabbath rest that “remains for the people of God.” Second, the DFR-1 doctrine at its most formally detailed: the feast-of-disclosure turns to bitterness under distrust, and the structure (initiative → hesitation → withdrawal → grief; Song 5:2–6) identifies the divine intimacy as genuinely wounded by the creature’s non-reception — not merely interrupted but grieved. Third, the electric-wire metaphor advancing what is essentially a CDS-1 / CVT-1 teaching with unprecedented precision: the light does not form where the wire is placed (the creature’s will) but where it ends (God), meaning that the creature’s contribution is connection, and God’s contribution is everything that is divine in the result — the solar conversion is entirely his act, the creature providing only the wire that allows it.
Observation Notes

24-1928-05-06
RPT-1 — one-hundred-and-nineteenth confirmed / round-preceding-electric-wire-disclosure: “After this, I continued my round in the Divine Will, and my sweet Jesus added…” 119th diary-text RPT-1 appearance. Counter: 118 → 119.
DFR-1 — / feast-turned-to-bitterness / friend-pouring-heart-out / most-formally-detailed: “I act like one of two intimate friends: loving his friend very much, he wants to pour what his heart contains into the heart of his friend… Loving so much the one whom I have chosen as my little secretary, I want to pour my Heart out and entrust to her my secrets, my joys, my hidden sorrows, my surprising truths, to celebrate together with her and to communicate to her divine lives.” Third confirmed DFR-1 appearance (first: November 18, 1927 — yearning-draws-manifestation; second: same entry — mutual-feast). Most formally detailed DFR-1 register in the corpus: the interior content of the divine friendship is enumerated (secrets, hidden joys, sorrows, surprising truths), the feast/bitterness contrast is made structurally explicit, and the withdrawal-in-grief corresponds precisely to Song of Songs 5:2–6. John 15:14–15, Psalm 25:14, James 1:5–8, Song of Songs 5:2–6 added as governing anchors. Counter: 2 → 3.
DWR-1 register — eschatological-rest-in-DW-children / My-works-are-complete / new-creation-Sabbath: “‘My works are complete’, and I will take rest in the midst of the children of my Supreme Fiat.” New DWR-1 register: the eschatological Sabbath in which God rests in the completed DW children. Prior DWR-1 registers described the DW soul giving rest to Jesus (September 28, 1927) and the DW-rest within individual souls; this entry advances DWR-1 to its collective eschatological form — when the DW children are complete, God takes his final rest in their midst, corresponding to Genesis 2:2–3 and Hebrews 4:9–11. 1 Corinthians 15:28 added as governing anchor.
