28-1930-07-04 Biblical Resonance Analysis
Volume 28 — July 4, 1930 “All created things possess the repetitive virtue of the Divine Fiat.”
STAGE ONE — INDEPENDENT BIBLICAL IDENTIFICATION
Consolation in Suffering — External Forum vs. Interior Union
“know that you are not alone in suffering, but you have your Jesus who suffers together with you – or rather, more than you do, because these are things that regard Me more than you, and I feel them so vividly, that I feel my pierced Heart being tortured. However, what must console us is that they are things from the external forum; between Me and you nothing has changed… Human judgments have no power in our intimacies and communications.”
Hebrews 4:15 — “For we don’t have a high priest who can’t be touched with the feeling of our infirmities, but one who has been in all points tempted like we are, yet without sin.” Jesus suffering with Luisa — not a distant overseer but a participant who enters the suffering from within, and who suffers it more acutely precisely because he knows what is at stake in the accusations. Christological/Trinitarian
Romans 8:17 — “and if children, then heirs—heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with him, that we may also be glorified with him.” The fellowship of suffering as the structure of co-heirship — Luisa and Jesus suffering together corresponds to the Pauline pattern of suffering-with as the mode of union. Direct doctrinal parallel
Colossians 1:24 — “Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,” The suffering that has a Body-building purpose — Jesus’s statement that the oppressions “regard Me more than you” and are connected to the DW mission places Luisa’s suffering within the VSC-1 pattern: it is not merely personal trial but participation in Christ’s own afflictions for the sake of the Body. Direct doctrinal parallel
John 16:33 — “In the world you have trouble; but cheer up! I have overcome the world.” Jesus’s comfort against tribulation — the external-forum distinction is implicit here: the tribulation is real but located in the world-forum, not in the interior union that his peace secures. Direct doctrinal parallel
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 — “For our light affliction, which is for the moment, works for us more and more exceedingly an eternal weight of glory, while we don’t look at the things which are seen, but at the things which are not seen. For the things which are seen are temporal, but the things which are not seen are eternal.” The distinction between the seen (external forum) and the unseen (interior union) as the governing hermeneutic for the consolation: human judgments belong to the seen; the intimacies of the divine-soul relationship belong to the unseen. Direct doctrinal parallel
The Repetitive Virtue of the Divine Fiat in Created Things
“My Will has the repetitive virtue, and all things created by Us, which have their continuous dwelling in Our Volition, possess the virtue of repeating the continuous act received by God in Creation, and of giving to creatures, each day, their continuous act. The sun, each day, gives its light; the air lets itself be breathed continuously; the water repeats each day its giving itself to man in order to quench his thirst, wash him and refresh him. And so do all other created things – they repeat the repetitive virtue of my Divine Fiat; and if any of these created things could go out from within It, they would instantly lose the virtue of repeating their continuous act which, while it is old, is always new for the good of creatures.”
Genesis 8:22 (CPDV) — “All the days of the earth, seedtime and harvest, cold and heat, summer and winter, night and day, will not cease.” The created order’s continuous repeating acts — the covenant regularity of the sun, rain, and seasons — is the DW’s repetitive virtue expressed as God’s faithfulness-pledge: created things continue their acts because they dwell in the DW, and God has guaranteed this. Direct doctrinal parallel
Lamentations 3:22-23 — “It is because of the LORD’s loving kindnesses that we are not consumed, because his mercies don’t fail. They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.” “New every morning” is the scriptural formulation that most closely approximates the entry’s “though old, are always new” — the continuous renewal of the divine act in each repetition, such that the sun’s light today is both the same act and genuinely new. Direct doctrinal parallel
Psalm 19:4-6 — “Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun, which is as a bridegroom coming out of his room, like a strong man rejoicing to run his course. His going out is from the end of the heavens, his circuit to its ends. There is nothing hidden from its heat.” The sun completing its unceasing circuit with joyful vigor — the exact analogy Jesus employs; the sun’s perpetual course is the paradigm of the repetitive virtue. Affective/meditative
James 1:17 — “Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of lights, with whom can be no variation nor turning shadow.” The Father who gives continuously from above with no variation corresponds to the DW whose repetitive virtue admits no stops — the constancy of divine giving is grounded in the constancy of the divine nature. Direct doctrinal parallel
Matthew 5:45 — “For he makes his sun to rise on the evil and the good, and sends rain on the just and the unjust.” The continuous, non-discriminating act of the sun and rain — the DW’s repetitive giving operates regardless of the creature’s receptivity, a point the entry will develop explicitly. 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 descending rain as the image of God’s continuous self-giving that accomplishes its purpose — and the entry will extend this to the acts of Jesus and Mary raining down without ceasing on humanity. Direct doctrinal parallel
The Sign of DW-Living — Old Yet Always New (CDS-1)
“This is the surest sign that created things are in my Divine Will, and this is the sign that the soul lives in It and lets herself be dominated: if her acts, though old, have the virtue of being as though always new and continuous. In my Divine Will there are no stops; the soul feels the ease and virtue of her continuous act.”
Lamentations 3:22-23 — “They are new every morning. Great is your faithfulness.” The “always new” criterion finds its direct scriptural source here — what is “new every morning” is not a different act but the same act of the DW’s steadfast love, continuously renewed in each repetition. The soul living in the DW shares in this structural newness. Direct doctrinal parallel
2 Corinthians 4:16 — “Therefore we don’t faint, but though our outward person is decaying, yet our inward person is renewed day by day.” The inner renewal corresponding to the soul whose acts, though externally old, are always new in their DW-animated interior — the aging outer self does not contradict the ever-new inner life. Direct doctrinal parallel
Colossians 3:9-10 — “Don’t lie to one another, seeing that you have put off the old man with his doings, and have put on the new man, who is being renewed in knowledge after the image of his Creator,” The ever-renewed self — the soul “converted into her own nature” by the DW corresponds to the new self constantly renewed in the image of the Creator. Direct doctrinal parallel
Isaiah 40:31 — “but those who wait for the LORD will renew their strength. They will mount up with wings like eagles. They will run, and not be weary. They will walk, and not faint.” The renewal without stopping — “no stops” in the DW’s continuous act corresponds to the strength that does not flag and the running that does not produce weariness. Affective/meditative
Galatians 2:20 — “it is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me.” The soul “converted into her own nature, the vivifying virtue of the divine goods” — the DW’s continuous act becomes so interior to the soul that it operates as her own nature, corresponding to this foundational Pauline formula of the Christ-inhabited life. Direct doctrinal parallel
Acts of Jesus and Mary Raining Down Continuously (ERP-1)
“just as created things repeat their continuous act, so do my acts and those of my Celestial Mama, because they are done in the Divine Will and are animated by It, possess the repetitive virtue and, more than sun, dart through creatures and rain down upon their heads all the goods of all Our acts which, though old, are always new for the good of miserable Humanity, because they possess the continuous act.”
John 5:19-20 — “Jesus therefore answered them, “Most certainly, I tell you, the Son can do nothing of himself, but what he sees the Father doing. For whatever things he does, these the Son also does likewise. For the Father has affection for the Son, and shows him all things that he himself does. He will show him greater works than these, that you may marvel.” The Son’s acts as continuous with the Father’s — and by extension, acts done in the DW partake of the DW’s own continuous act; the ERP-1 mechanics trace back to this Christological ground: because the Son’s acts are the Father’s acts done in the DW, they possess the DW’s repetitive virtue. Christological/Trinitarian
Hebrews 7:25 — “Therefore he is also able to save to the uttermost those who draw near to God through him, seeing that he lives forever to make intercession for them.” Christ “always lives” to intercede — his intercession is a continuous act, never exhausted or suspended, corresponding precisely to the ERP-1 doctrine: acts done in the DW are always in force, always pressing their goods upon humanity. Christological/Trinitarian
Hebrews 10:14 — “For by one offering he has perfected forever those who are being sanctified.” The single offering eternally efficacious — its repetitive virtue comes from its being done in the DW; though performed once in history, it is always new in its application. The entry makes the mechanics of this explicit: acts done in the DW possess the continuous act and therefore are always present, always giving. Christological/Trinitarian
1 John 2:1-2 — “My little children, I write these things to you so that you may not sin. If anyone sins, we have a Counselor with the Father, Jesus Christ, the righteous. And he is the atoning sacrifice for our sins, and not for ours only, but also for the whole world.” Christ’s continuous advocacy for the whole world — the propitiation always in act, always available, always raining down its goods; and yet received only by those who draw on it. Christological/Trinitarian
Colossians 1:24 — “Now I rejoice in my sufferings for your sake, and fill up on my part that which is lacking of the afflictions of Christ in my flesh for his body’s sake, which is the assembly,” The continuous application of the redemptive act to the Body — corresponding to the ERP-1 pattern where the predecessor’s acts continuously press their goods upon successive members of the Body. Direct doctrinal parallel
Revelation 5:8 — “Now when he had taken the book, the four living creatures and the twenty-four elders fell down before the Lamb, each one having a harp, and golden bowls full of incense, which are the prayers of the saints.” The perpetual intercession of the saints — the continuous acts of Jesus and Mary in the DW find a structural parallel in the golden bowls held always before the Lamb: prayer done in the DW is always in act. Typological
The Rain Not Received — The Necessity of Recognition and Imploring
“even though they rain down upon their heads without ever ceasing, they are not taken by the creatures, and only then do they receive the fruit of Our continuous acts – when they recognize them, implore them and want to receive them; otherwise, they receive nothing. It happens as to the sun: if the creature does not go out to enjoy and receive the good of its continuous light, she does not receive all the good of its light.”
John 1:11-12 — “He came to his own, and those who were his own didn’t receive him. But as many as received him, to them he gave the right to become God’s children, to those who believe in his name:” The reception/non-reception distinction is here its most compressed scriptural form: the gift is available to all, given to all in the sense of continuous pressing; received only by those who open. Direct doctrinal parallel
James 4:2b (translation pending) — “You do not have, because you do not ask.” The precise logic of the entry’s consolation to Luisa: the continuous acts rain down; you do not receive them because you do not implore, recognize, want to receive. The brevity of the verse captures the exact structure of the entry’s diagnosis. Direct doctrinal parallel
Matthew 7:7-8 — “Ask, and it will be given you. Seek, and you will find. Knock, and it will be opened for you. For everyone who asks receives.” The three conditions — recognizing, imploring, wanting to receive — correspond directly to asking, seeking, and knocking; the entry specifies what Jesus’s universal invitation requires on the creature’s side. Direct doctrinal parallel
Revelation 3:20 — “Behold, I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, then I will come in to him and will dine with him, and he with me.” The door that must be opened — corresponding to the house whose doors must be opened for the sun to enter; the continuous acts of Jesus and Mary stand at the door of every soul knocking, and only those who open the door receive the rain. Direct doctrinal parallel
Isaiah 55:1-3 — “Come, everyone who thirsts, to the waters! … Turn your ear, and come to me. Hear, and your soul will live.” The continuous availability of divine goods requiring the creature’s coming, inclining, and hearing — the three movements of recognition, imploring, and wanting correspond to this invitation’s structure. Affective/meditative
Hosea 10:12 — “Sow to yourselves in righteousness, reap according to kindness. Break up your fallow ground, for it is time to seek the LORD, until he comes and rains righteousness on you.” The rain of righteousness requiring the breaking of fallow ground — one must open the soil of one’s soul to receive what already descends from above. Typological
STAGE TWO — COMPARISON WITH HOGAN’S COMMENTARY
CORRESPONDENCES
The repetitive virtue as the governing doctrine: Both streams recognize this as the entry’s primary theological contribution. Hogan develops it extensively, noting the translation issue (she prefers “capability” or “power” over “virtue”) and extending the biological analogies (breathing, heartbeat, brain function). Stage One identified the governing scriptural anchors without explicit overlap between the streams.
The acts of Jesus and Mary in the DW always raining down: Both streams recognize this as the ERP-1 content of the entry’s second half. Hogan frames it as the acts in the “eternal now” descending into time; Stage One identifies Hebrews 7:25 and 10:14 as the Christological ground of why those acts are always in force.
Reception as the creature’s responsibility: Both streams emphasize the necessity of recognition, imploring, and opening. Hogan’s rain/house analogy (“it’s raining outside of the house, but I’m inside”) corresponds to Stage One’s Revelation 3:20 (the door that must be opened).
DEVIATIONS
No directional deviations. Hogan does not cite Scripture explicitly in this entry; all citation work is Stage One’s. The distinction is complementary: Hogan provides pastoral application and biological analogies; Stage One provides the doctrinal architecture.

ADDITIONS — HERS
Hogan does not cite Scripture explicitly in this entry. Her biological analogies (breathing, heartbeat, digestive system as continuous-act parallels) have an implicit scriptural background in Genesis 2:7 (divine breath as the source of continuous biological life) and Psalm 139:13-14 (the body knit together by God), but she does not develop these explicitly. Her observation that the DW acts are in the “eternal now” finds implicit scriptural ground in Colossians 3:3 and Ephesians 2:6, which Stage One did not develop under this heading.
VIP / SPECIAL DESIGNATIONS
No VIP or elevated designation by Hogan in this entry.
STAGE TWO SYNTHESIS
The combined analysis reveals a tightly unified doctrinal entry whose scriptural architecture operates on two levels simultaneously. At the cosmological level, Genesis 8:22, Lamentations 3:22-23, and Psalm 19:4-6 together establish that the created order’s continuous acts are themselves the DW’s repetitive virtue made visible — the covenant-regulated regularity of sun, air, and water as the paradigm of the doctrine. At the soteriological level, Hebrews 7:25 and 10:14, 1 John 2:1-2, and John 5:19-20 together establish why the acts of Jesus and Mary possess this same repetitive virtue: because they are done in the DW, they partake of the DW’s own eternal continuity, and their application to humanity is therefore unceasing.
The most load-bearing correspondences are Lamentations 3:22-23 for the “old yet always new” criterion; James 4:2b for the unrecognized rain; and Hebrews 7:25 for the Christological ground of ERP-1’s mechanics. The entry’s theology of reception — only those who recognize, implore, and want receive — is where the Revelation 3:20 / Matthew 7:7-8 cluster is most structurally significant.
Cross-Entry Synthesis
Volume 28 — July 4, 1930 “All created things possess the repetitive virtue of the Divine Fiat.”
STAGE THREE — CROSS-ENTRY SYNTHESIS
Consolation in Suffering — External Forum vs. Interior Union
Both streams recognize the opening as a VSC-1 / consolation movement within the continuing context of ecclesiastical opposition to Luisa’s writings. The governing theological move is Jesus’s distinction between the external forum, where human judgments operate, and the interior union, which those judgments cannot touch.
Hebrews 4:15 provides the Christological ground: Jesus suffers more acutely than Luisa not despite his divinity but because of it — the high priest who enters the suffering fully, who knows what is at stake in the accusations at a depth unavailable to Luisa. Romans 8:17 frames this fellowship of suffering as the structure of co-heirship: suffering-with is not incidental to DW living but its characteristic form. Colossians 1:24 places both within the VSC-1 architecture: filling up what is lacking in Christ’s afflictions, with the oppressions that “regard Me more than you” establishing that the suffering is Body-building in its purpose.
2 Corinthians 4:17-18 provides the key for the external-forum distinction: the things that are seen are transient; the things that are unseen are eternal. Human judgments belong to the transient seen; the intimacies of the divine-soul relationship belong to the eternal unseen. Jesus’s consolation is therefore not minimization of the pain but a reorientation of the register in which it operates — the pain is real (he suffers more than Luisa), but it cannot touch what belongs to the other forum. Hogan develops this pastorally: “we do not under any circumstances allow that to influence, change or touch what is going on inside of us.”
The Repetitive Virtue in Created Things
Both streams identify this as the entry’s primary doctrinal contribution, and both extend the biological analogies. Stage One establishes the scriptural architecture; Hogan provides pastoral application.
Genesis 8:22 establishes the foundational frame: the covenant-regulated regularity of day and night, seedtime and harvest, is God’s own faithfulness-pledge written into the structure of creation. The sun, air, and water repeat their acts because they dwell in the DW, and God has pledged their continuity. This is not merely scientific regularity but the structure of divine faithfulness expressed in the created order.
Lamentations 3:22-23 provides the most precise scriptural correspondence: “they are new every morning.” This is the “though old, are always new” formula in its canonical form. The sun’s light today is both the same act (old) and genuinely new — because the DW does not repeat mechanically but with the freshness of an ever-present act. James 1:17 grounds this in the divine nature: the Father of lights has no variation or shadow — the DW’s repetitive virtue admits no stops because it participates in the constancy of God’s own being.
The analogy Jesus draws from Matthew 5:45 (sun rising on evil and good alike) establishes an important dimension: the repetitive virtue operates regardless of the creature’s receptivity. The sun does not withhold its light from the house whose doors are closed. This sets up the entry’s second movement.
The Sign of DW-Living — Old Yet Always New (CDS-1)
The entry’s explicit diagnostic formulation — “this is the surest sign that created things are in my Divine Will, and this is the sign that the soul lives in It… if her acts, though old, have the virtue of being as though always new and continuous” — is among the most formally stated CDS-1 criterion-statements in Volume 28.
Stage One identifies three Pauline anchors that together illuminate its structure. 2 Corinthians 4:16 establishes the interior-renewal dimension: the outer self ages while the inner self is renewed day by day — the soul’s acts, though externally old (the same prayers, the same rounds, the same breathing in the DW), are interiorly always new because the DW animates them from within. Colossians 3:9-10 adds the image-renewal dimension: the new self being renewed in knowledge after the image of the Creator corresponds to the soul “converted into her own nature, the vivifying virtue of the divine goods.” Galatians 2:20 provides the most concentrated formula: it is no longer I who live but Christ — the DW continuous act becomes so interior to the soul that it operates as her own nature.
Isaiah 40:31’s “run and not be weary” captures the experiential sign of the diagnostic: in the DW there are no stops, no fatigue, no exhaustion — the soul runs the continuous act with the same ease as the sun runs its course “with joy.” Hogan’s biological observation carries the same insight from a different angle: “we don’t even think about breathing… and yet they’re absolutely vital for the continuation of life. So in the same way, our continuous acts in the divine will, they come naturally to us. Supernaturally natural.”
Acts of Jesus and Mary Raining Down Continuously (ERP-1)
Both streams identify this as the entry’s most theologically dense movement, and both connect it to the eternal-now framework. Hogan frames it as the acts in the “eternal now” descending into time and space; Stage One identifies the Christological mechanics.
John 5:19-20 provides the foundational Christological ground: the Son does only what he sees the Father doing. Acts done in the DW are acts done in the Father’s own mode — they partake of the DW’s continuous act. This is why the acts of Jesus and Mary, performed once in history, possess the repetitive virtue: they are not merely historical events but acts of the DW, and the DW has no past tense.
Hebrews 7:25 and 10:14 together specify what this means for the application of those acts. He “always lives to make intercession” — always, not sometimes, not as a completed act but as a continuous state. The single offering perfected “for all time those who are being sanctified” — the once-and-for-all act that is always in force because it was done in the DW. 1 John 2:1-2 and Revelation 5:8 add the intercession and prayer dimensions: the advocate always before the Father, the golden bowls of prayer always present before the Lamb.
The structural advance this entry makes over prior ERP-1 appearances is the explicit statement of the governing mechanics: “because they are done in the Divine Will and are animated by It, they possess the repetitive virtue.” Prior ERP-1 appearances established the pattern of continuous application; this entry names the reason. Acts done in the DW possess the same repetitive virtue as the sun because they dwell in the same DW as the sun. The sun and the acts of Jesus and Mary operate by the same principle — they differ only in degree: “more than sun, they dart through creatures.”
The Rain Not Received — Recognition, Imploring, Wanting
Both streams emphasize this as the entry’s pastoral conclusion, and both use the house/rain analogy. Hogan: “the rain is not coming to me… If I want the rain to do something to me, I have to go out and actually let the rain do it.” Stage One identifies the specific scriptural anchors.
James 4:2b provides the most economically precise parallel: “you do not have, because you do not ask.” The continuous acts rain down; the reason creatures do not receive them is not that the rain has stopped but that they have not asked. Matthew 7:7-8 expands this into the three conditions — ask, seek, knock — which correspond exactly to the entry’s “recognize, implore, want to receive.”
Revelation 3:20 is the entry’s most structurally resonant scriptural parallel: the Lord standing at the door and knocking is the DW’s repetitive virtue expressed toward each soul — the knocking never stops, but the door must be opened from within. John 1:11-12 provides the widest lens: the Word present in the world, unrecognized and not received by many, received by those who open to him. The reception/non-reception distinction governs the entire movement.
Isaiah 55:1-3 adds the register of urgency and invitation: the freely available water, wine, and milk require only the creature’s coming and inclining. The continuous acts are without cost; the only condition is recognition and desire. Hosea 10:12’s “break up your fallow ground” for the rain of righteousness adds the register of preparation: the creature must actively open herself to what already descends.
Synthesis Conclusion
Dominant biblical imagination: The entry operates primarily within the creation-covenant tradition (Genesis 8:22; Lamentations 3:22-23; Psalm 19:4-6) and the eternal-intercession tradition (Hebrews 7:25; 10:14; John 5:19-20), with these two traditions unified by the repetitive-virtue doctrine. What creation does physically — continuously repeating its God-given act — the acts of Jesus and Mary do soteriologically, and both do so by the same mechanism: continuous dwelling in the DW.
Most load-bearing scriptural traditions: Lamentations 3:22-23 is most load-bearing for the governing “old yet always new” formula that structures the entire entry — the new-every-morning principle is the repetitive virtue’s scriptural name. Hebrews 7:25 and John 5:19-20 are most load-bearing for the ERP-1 mechanics — the “always lives to intercede” and “whatever the Father does, the Son does likewise” establish why DW-done acts are never merely past. James 4:2b is most load-bearing for the reception movement — its compression captures the exact logic of unrecognized and unreceived continuous acts.
Three findings of highest theological significance:
First, the entry provides the most formally mechanistic ERP-1 statement in Volume 28: the repetitive virtue belongs to any act done in the DW, not only the acts of Jesus and Mary as such. Created things possess it because they dwell in the DW; Jesus and Mary’s acts possess it because they were performed in the DW and animated by it. The governing principle is the DW’s own eternal continuous act, communicated to whatever dwells within it. This makes ERP-1 not a unique property of Jesus and Mary’s acts but a structural consequence of DW-living, accessible to any soul whose acts are done in the DW. The implication for the corpus is significant: Luisa’s rounds, done in the DW, possess the same repetitive virtue.
Second, the CDS-1 diagnostic criterion is here stated in its most explicitly formal terms. “This is the surest sign that created things are in my Divine Will, and this is the sign that the soul lives in It: if her acts, though old, have the virtue of being as though always new and continuous.” Lamentations 3:22-23 provides the canonical formulation; 2 Corinthians 4:16 and Galatians 2:20 together establish the theological mechanics. The continuousness and ever-newness are not performances to be achieved but structural consequences of DW-living, as natural as the sun’s circuit — which is precisely what makes them the “surest sign.”
Third, the external-forum / internal-union distinction is the entry’s opening consolation but also its structural hermeneutic for everything that follows. The oppressions from the external forum cannot touch the interior; the continuous acts of Jesus and Mary rain down from a register that human judgments do not reach. The DW operates in the “unseen” register (2 Corinthians 4:18) — which is precisely why the repetitive virtue never stops even when creatures in the external forum refuse it. The rain falls; the acts dart; the door is knocked — regardless of the external forum’s resistance.
Observation Notes

28-1930-07-04
ERP-1 advance — most-formally-mechanistic-statement / repetitive-virtue-as-governing-principle: “just as created things repeat their continuous act, so do my acts and those of my Celestial Mama, because they are done in the Divine Will and are animated by It, possess the repetitive virtue.” This is the most formally mechanistic ERP-1 statement in Volume 28 to date: the entry explicitly names the governing principle — any act done in the DW possesses the repetitive virtue, because the DW’s own eternal continuous act is communicated to whatever dwells within it. The implication extends to Luisa’s rounds: acts done in the DW possess the same structure. Governing anchors: John 5:19-20; Hebrews 7:25; Hebrews 10:14; 1 John 2:1-2; Revelation 5:8.
CDS-1 advance — surest-sign-formal-criterion / most-explicitly-diagnostic: “This is the surest sign that created things are in my Divine Will, and this is the sign that the soul lives in It and lets herself be dominated: if her acts, though old, have the virtue of being as though always new and continuous.” The diagnostic criterion stated in its most formally explicit single-sentence form in Volume 28: continuousness and ever-newness as structural consequences of DW-living, not performances. Lamentations 3:22-23 is the governing canonical anchor (“new every morning”). Governing anchors: Lamentations 3:22-23; 2 Corinthians 4:16; Galatians 2:20.
WOE-1 probable advance — acts-though-old-are-always-new / ERP-1-register: “all the goods of all Our acts which, though old, are always new for the good of miserable Humanity, because they possess the continuous act.” The width-of-eternity dimension is active in the ERP-1 register: the DW’s eternal continuous act renders all DW-done acts impervious to aging or ending. Probable unverified WOE-1 advance; adds to the running probable count beyond the probable 29th (October 24, 1929). Registry verification required.
