144,000 part 2

My 144,000 study also led me to Psalms 149 which says:

Psa 149:1  Praise ye Jehovah. Sing unto Jehovah a new song, And his praise in the assembly of the saints.

Psa 149:2  Let Israel rejoice in him that made him: Let the children of Zion be joyful in their King.

Psa 149:3  Let them praise his name in the dance: Let them sing praises unto him with timbrel and harp.

Psa 149:4  For Jehovah taketh pleasure in his people: He will beautify the meek with salvation.

Psa 149:5  Let the saints exult in glory: Let them sing for joy upon their beds.

Psa 149:6  Let the high praises of God be in their mouth, And a two-edged sword in their hand;

Psa 149:7  To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples;

Psa 149:8  To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;

Psa 149:9  To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah.

So I’m seeing that the co-heirs (144,000) in Christ (those that sing the “new song” and play the harp) are the ones that carry out the judgement upon the Gentiles that Jesus declares in Matthew 12:18b:

Mat 12:18b  …And he shall declare (proclaim) judgment to the Gentiles.

Yet Isaiah 42:1b states that Jesus will “bring forth” justice to the Gentiles.

Isa 42:1b… he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

My assumption here is that Jesus in his co-heirs (144,000) are what actually carry out the judgement. I would question this if Isaiah 42 was not so clear as the delineation between Jesus in verses 1-8 and the overcomer/144,000/co-heir in Christ in verses 10-16.

So Jesus is clearly seen in Isaiah 42:1-8

Isa 42:1  Behold, my servant, whom I uphold; my chosen, in whom my soul delighteth: I have put my Spirit upon him; he will bring forth justice to the Gentiles.

Isa 42:2  He will not cry, nor lift up his voice, nor cause it to be heard in the street.

Isa 42:3  A bruised reed will he not break, and a dimly burning wick will he not quench: he will bring forth justice in truth.

Isa 42:4  He will not fail nor be discouraged, till he have set justice in the earth; and the isles shall wait for his law.

Isa 42:5  Thus saith God Jehovah, he that created the heavens, and stretched them forth; he that spread abroad the earth and that which cometh out of it; he that giveth breath unto the people upon it, and spirit to them that walk therein:

Isa 42:6  I, Jehovah, have called thee in righteousness, and will hold thy hand, and will keep thee, and give thee for a covenant of the people, for a light of the Gentiles;

Isa 42:7  to open the blind eyes, to bring out the prisoners from the dungeon, and them that sit in darkness out of the prison-house.

Isa 42:8  I am Jehovah, that is my name; and my glory will I not give to another, neither my praise unto graven images.

Isaiah 42:9 is the turning point. The promised Christ IS come and the declaration/promise of the springing forth of the overcomer/144,000/co-heir is given.

Isa 42:9  Behold, the former things are come to pass, and new things do I declare; before they spring forth I tell you of them.

And the 144,000 are referenced in verse 10 in that they sing a “new song” just like those in Rev 14:3.

Isa 42:10  Sing unto Jehovah a new song, and his praise from the end of the earth; ye that go down to the sea, and all that is therein, the isles, and the inhabitants thereof.

Isa 42:11  Let the wilderness and the cities thereof lift up their voice, the villages that Kedar doth inhabit; let the inhabitants of Sela sing, let them shout from the top of the mountains.

Isa 42:12  Let them give glory unto Jehovah, and declare his praise in the islands.

Verse 13 states that God goes forth “as a mighty man”.

Isa 42:13  Jehovah will go forth as a mighty man; he will stir up his zeal like a man of war: he will cry, yea, he will shout aloud; he will do mightily against his enemies.

This suggests that many goes forth as one and he will be “like a man of war” that will do “mightily against his enemies”. This is the same honor that God gives his saints in Psalms 149:7-9.

Psa 149:7  To execute vengeance upon the nations, And punishments upon the peoples;

Psa 149:8  To bind their kings with chains, And their nobles with fetters of iron;

Psa 149:9  To execute upon them the judgment written: This honor have all his saints. Praise ye Jehovah.

God has long since refrained from judgement although Jesus declared it. So Isaiah 42:14-15 tells us that He (via the 144,00/co-heirs/overcomers) will flatten the mountains (I believe of modern high places of Christianity)  

Isa 42:14  I have long time holden my peace; I have been still, and refrained myself: now will I cry out like a travailing woman; I will gasp and pant together.

Isa 42:15  I will lay waste mountains and hills, and dry up all their herbs; and I will make the rivers islands, and will dry up the pools.

Isa 42:16  And I will bring the blind by a way that they know not; in paths that they know not will I lead them; I will make darkness light before them, and crooked places straight. These things will I do, and I will not forsake them.

Isa 42:17  They shall be turned back, they shall be utterly put to shame, that trust in graven images, that say unto molten images, Ye are our gods.

Isa 42:18  Hear, ye deaf; and look, ye blind, that ye may see.

Isa 42:19  Who is blind, but my servant? or deaf, as my messenger that I send? who is blind as he that is at peace with me, and blind as Jehovah's servant?

Isa 42:20  Thou seest many things, but thou observest not; his ears are open, but he heareth not.

Isa 42:21  It pleased Jehovah, for his righteousness' sake, to magnify the law, and make it honorable.

Isa 42:22  But this is a people robbed and plundered; they are all of them snared in holes, and they are hid in prison-houses: they are for a prey, and none delivereth; for a spoil, and none saith, Restore.

Isa 42:23  Who is there among you that will give ear to this? that will hearken and hear for the time to come?

Isa 42:24  Who gave Jacob for a spoil, and Israel to the robbers? did not Jehovah? he against whom we have sinned, and in whose ways they would not walk, neither were they obedient unto his law.

Isa 42:25  Therefore he poured upon him the fierceness of his anger, and the strength of battle; and it set him on fire round about, yet he knew not; and it burned him, yet he laid it not to heart.
