Jeremiah 35
Because Jonadab, the father of the Rekabites, instructed the family not to drink wine and the family obeyed, God promised that the family would always have a man standing before the Lord. This is true even though the family were gentile proselytes to Judaism.
Messianically, this explains mysteries in Revelation, how people can stand before the Lord, particularly the two olive trees and two lampstands and how those standing before the Lord minister day and night in His temple.
The key is not whether a person owns a vineyard or lives in tents; the issue is obedience. The name Jonadab refers to serving Yahweh with free will. The family name Rekab means chariots.
Those who serve the Lord willingly are before the Lord always. They are separated to God by chariots in preparation for being carried up to heaven as happened to Elijah. If we take this one step further, those who are separated to God through a transformed heart for obeying the voice of Jesus are those who are separated by the chariots of God in preparation for being caught up in the air and always being with the Lord.
