John, and with him the John class today, is given a preview of that happy outcome: "And I saw, and look! the Lamb! standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads." (Revelation 14:1) As we have seen, this Lamb is the same as Michael who cleansed the heavens by casting out the Devil and his demons. He is the Michael whom Daniel describes as "standing in behalf of the sons of [God's] people" as he prepares to "stand up" in executing Jehovah's righteous judgments. (Daniel 12:1; Revelation 12:7, 9) Since 1914 this self-sacrificing Lamb of God has been standing on Mount Zion as the Messianic King.
