On Zion
I have been describing the first resurrection of late, the ascension of which is something that many have mis-labeled "the rapture." This ascension follows a death (to self) and a burial (of self) and a spiritual (inward) resurrection, which is the putting on of the celestial body, something that was shown to us in Jesus' manifestation on the Mt. of Transfiguration. Jesus inwardly and spiritually wore this body fully, beloved, even before His resurrection from the tomb. This spiritual body is given so that we can have UNION with the Father, this in a way which can only be had through ASCENSION unto Him and GLORIFICATION.
This place of union with the Father is symbolized throughout the scriptures as "Mt. Zion," the holy hill of God, the place of God's abiding presence. Once one has ascended to this high and holy place (not necessarily physically), he or she will have moved into the experience of "Not I, but Christ." They then will be able to condescend and communicate (or impart) to others out from their (continual) experience with the Father on Mt. Zion.
The prophet Ezekiel described these risen and ascended souls as "the sons of Zadok." Obadiah called these people "Deliverers on Zion." Surely, these are FIRSTFRUITS of the harvest of the Kingdom age, blessed and holy ones who have part in the first resurrection, and ones FROM WHOM THE POWERS OF THE AGE TO COME SHALL ISSUE FORTH, this because of their abiding place of union and glorification with the Father .. on Zion.
