Sons To Glory
12 X 12,000 = 144,000. If you compare the 144,000 saints to the 12
apostles of Jesus, I think you will get a better picture of the role and
function of these 144,000 in our generation. They will be chosen by
the Lord first to “be with Him,” and secondly, “to preach, and to have
power to heal sicknesses and cast out demons” (Mark 3:14). These
end of the age apostles each have a special individual calling from the
Lord. They will not be appointed by man, nor is it a “promotion” in the
Kingdom. It is simply a calling to a position in God’s government to
fulfill His purposes at His Second Coming similar to what the first
twelve apostles had to do during His First Coming.
Zechariah saw the final purpose of Zion’s sons: “For I have bent
Judah My bow, Fitted the bow with Ephraim, and raised up your sons,
O Zion, against your sons, O Greece, and made you like the sword of a
mighty man. Then the Lord will be seen over them, and His arrow will
go forth like lightning… The Lord of hosts will defend them; They shall
devour and subdue with slingstones; They shall drink and roar as if
with wine… For they shall be like the jewels of a crown, lifted like a
banner over His land.” (Zech. 9:13-16) Jesus will bring righteous
judgment to the kingdoms of this world through His manchild.
The Timing of This Birth
When Jesus came the first time, there was very little fanfare and public
understanding of the significance of His birth. Even among the
religious leaders of Jesus’ time, there was no big “birthday party” for
the Savior of the world. Only a few faithful shepherds and some far
away wise men were shown by revelation the glory of what transpired
at Jesus’ birth. The world as a whole continued on blissfully ignorant
without any earth shaking changes. I expect His second birth will be
similar. Jesus was first born in a dirty lowly place like a manger in a
stable, and His second birth will also be in a dirty lowly place - the
human heart. Oh, what mercy. Even so, Maranatha - “Come Lord
Jesus!” (Rev. 22:20).
Update -- It is now September 2004, five years after I first wrote this
study on the Birthing of Zion’s Sons. When this writing was first
published in July 1999, there was a section here on the “Signs in the
