X2M.128 Proposal — Guardian of God’s Courts ▽
Proposal in PH11 is the grant of access—the covenant laid before the priesthood and, through them, all who bear the divine image. In Zechariah’s vision, Joshua stands accused, reclothed, and recommissioned. A clean turban is set upon his head, signaling not only priestly reinstatement but royal authorization: the formal proposal of a covenant-grant re-establishing purity and dominion (Zech 3:5–7).¹
The structure of this grant recapitulates Eden. Adam was charged “to work and guard” the sanctuary (Gen 2:15); Joshua is commanded to “walk in [God’s] ways and keep [His] charge” (Zech 3:7).² Faithful guardianship secures admission to the heavenly court: “to come and go among these who are standing by.” This is Eden renewed, but also New Jerusalem anticipated.
Three dimensions of the divine image are enfolded in Proposal:
1. Kingship of truth — Walk in His ways. The vocation of governance is rooted in truth: “Your way, O God, is in the sanctuary … Who is a great God like our God?” (Ps 77:13, NET).³
2. Priesthood of purity — Keep His charge. The cleansing of garments prefigures Paul’s exhortation to put off the old and put on the new (Eph 4:22–24; Col 3:9–10).⁴ Guardianship here is not abstract but active defense against satanic intrusion.
3. Transfiguration unto glorification. Joshua’s re-investiture anticipates the radiance of the eschaton: the priest-king transfigured into glory garments, mirrored finally in the bridal vesture of Revelation 21–22.⁵
Meredith Kline describes this moment as nothing less than the promise of heaven: *“The Joshua-priesthood was promised access into the heavenly court … the ultimate realization of redemptive renewal in the image of the Lord of Glory.”*⁶ Proposal is thus not a suggestion but a summons: entry to council, promise of crown, and pledge of glory.
Psalm 73 voices the same hope: “Afterwards you will conduct me into your council; yea afterwards you will take me up into your glory. Having you, what else need I in heaven? Having you, what more do I desire on earth?” (Ps 73:24–25).⁷ Proposal, therefore, is both courtroom and council—where covenant is declared, garments renewed, dominion offered.
Within PH11’s runtime, Proposal is the divine interface. What is here presented in God’s court will soon be declared in Promulgator (129). TR15 overlays this logic: perception before execution, covenant before commission, Proposal before proclamation.
