New-Celestial-Hierarchy Doctrine
The doctrine that souls who have lived as Operating and Conquering Lives in the Divine Will on earth — inhabiting the Divine Fields and forming their acts as genuine palpitations within the divine interior — will form a formally distinct New Hierarchy in the Celestial Fatherland, occupying “a place reserved for them, that to no one else is it given to occupy,” constituting a difference in kind (not merely degree) from all previously sanctified saints by virtue of having operated in the Divine Fields while still pilgrims on earth; the New Hierarchy being the community in whom likeness to the Creator is “written in clear notes” in all their acts, steps, and words, and for whom 1 John 3:2’s promise of full likeness to God is becoming experientially actual in this life.
