God has already sent a replica of Himself to follow. All the patriarchs in the old testament, all those that obeyed his commands. The righteousness in all of them is Ha YEHUWAH.

Psalm 82 v 6 says  "I, the Most High Ha ELOHIM (God), say that all of you are gods and also my own children; another version says I says, “You are gods. You are all sons of the Most High.' This is who we are if we behave the way our creator behaves through those who served HIM in righteousnes, and if we do with it comes the anointing power that can only come from Ha YEHUWAH (God). 

However Psalm 82 v 7 states further adds  'But you will die like men, and fall like one of the princes.'  Ha YEHUWAH (God) pronounces this statement because people sometimes unknowingly activate  the curse that was placed on us because of sin. When we do this we loose our position as gods or  representatives of God and become  man

. When  we succumb to our sinful self we reflect we encourage  death. When we succomb  to God through the Torah and righteosness we encourage life.
