Daily Rhema: Deliverers from Zion

Isaiah 60:1-3 KJV: Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the brightness of thy rising.

The fullness of the Gentiles coming into the Church will be the result of a company of saints growing into and manifesting the perfection and fullness Christ.

This will result in a great release of the glory of God that will bring in the fullness of the Gentiles and remove the partial blindness from natural Israel. In other words, the spiritual blindness in both spiritual Israel (the Church) and natural Israel will be removed (Rom 11:25-26).

So, in this way all Israel (spiritual and natural) will be saved and ungodliness will be turned away from Jacob.

‘Jacob’ here symbolically represents Christians who are born-again but still have sin-nature in their souls: wills, mind, emotions, and bodies. This sin nature causes them to be crooked in some of their ways of trying to do the will of God like Jacob was.

This sin-nature will only be removed by praying in the Spirit with all types of prayer and travail (Eph. 6:18, Gal. 4:19). This experience is typified by Jacob wrestling with the angel until his thigh-bone was dislocated, so changing his walk which represents his conduct.

Furthermore, this wrestling in prayer broke Jacob’s desire to do things his own way, to be honest about his supplanting ways and effect a change in his inner character or ‘name’.

So Jacob’s name (or character) is changed from ‘trickster’, ‘supplanter’ to Israel, which means ‘Prince’: one who has prevailed with God and man (Gen 32:28).

So, the deliverers from Zion will be a company of Christians operating the principles of perfection, watching and praying always under the covering of a leadership that is operating in cleansing perfection and maturity. This ‘breaker’ company is typified in:

Micah 2:13 NIV: One who breaks open the way will go up before them; they will break through the gate and go out.Their king will pass through before them, the LORD at their head.”

Observe that the breaker company has the Lord as its Head, then the King (the leadership in cleansing perfection and maturity) and then the rest of the company.

This company will ‘break’ through the gates of hell and manifest the glory of God in this hour and so become deliverers out of Zion for both spiritual (the Church) and natural Israel.

God is presently looking for Christians who will join these deliverers by operating the principles of perfection and so come under the covering of a leadership operating in cleansing perfection and maturity.

Like Isaiah, our response should be: Here I am, Lord send me! (Is. 6:8).
