<strong>Sons</strong> <strong>To</strong> <strong>Glory</strong><br />

and cries out in her pangs, when she draws near the time of her<br />

delivery, so have we been in Your sight, O Lord. We have been with<br />

child, we have been in pain; We have as it were, given birth to wind;<br />

We have not accomplished any deliverance in the earth, Nor have the<br />

inhabitants of the world fallen.” (Isa. 26:17-18)<br />

Nevertheless, the promise remains that we WILL enter “the rest” of the<br />

Lord! “For he who has entered His rest has himself also ceased from<br />

his works as God did from His” on the seventh day (Heb. 4:10). The<br />

exciting part is that we have arrived at the end of the sixth day or 6,000<br />

years of mankind’s history. We are now entering the promised 1,000<br />

year “day of rest” that can be compared to the seven days of creation<br />

where God rested on the seventh day from all His creation work.<br />

Likewise, we will rest from our striving and labor FOR God and simply<br />

BE with Him in fellowship and companionship as He works out His<br />

Kingdom on the earth through us for the next 1,000 years!<br />

Zion Giving Birth<br />

Several Scriptures refer to how Zion will give birth. Since we have<br />

established that Zion is representative of the Bride of Christ, let’s<br />

examine what the Lord’s Bride will be birthing. Passages from the<br />

<strong>book</strong>s of Isaiah, Jeremiah and Micah point this out:<br />

“Hear the word of the Lord, you who tremble at His word: “Your<br />

brethren (birthed by the Great Harlot) who hated you, who cast you out<br />

for My name’s sake, said, ‘Let the Lord be glorified, that we may see<br />

your joy,’ (saying why do you take up your cross?) but they shall be<br />

ashamed.” The sound of noise from the city! A voice from the temple!<br />

The voice of the Lord, who fully repays His enemies!” (Isa. 66:5-6)<br />

Above, we see that one of the reasons why the Lord is bringing about<br />

the birth of His sons is to fully repay His enemies, or to cast out the<br />

children and methods of the flesh. The very next verses explain the<br />

birth process that the Lord will bring to pass to punish His enemies:<br />

“Before she travailed, she gave birth; before her pain came, she<br />

delivered a male child. Who has heard such a thing? Who has seen<br />
