Who Is Zion?
Posted November 13, 2009
Hi Mike,
This caught my eye:Psa 132:13 For the LORD hath chosen Zion; he hath desired it for his habitation.Is Zion typical for mankind Mike; chosen Zion and called Zion?
Psa 132:14 This is my rest for ever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.
Psa 132:15 I will abundantly bless her provision: I will satisfy her poor with bread.
Psa 132:16 I will also clothe her priests with salvation: and her saints shall shout aloud for joy.
Isa 33:14 The sinners in Zion are afraid; fearfulness hath surprised the hypocrites. Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?
Your brother in Christ,

Hi R____,
'Zion' in scripture is where God dwells. In that sense, it is the same as God's temple, His people.
1Co 3:16 Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?The 'temple' of 1Co 3:16-17 is the same as 'mount Sion' in Rev 14:1.
1Co 3:17 If any man defile the temple of God, him shall God destroy; for the temple of God is holy, which temple ye are.
Rev 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father's name written in their foreheads.
Here is who is Zion, or Sion:
Heb 12:22 But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels,I hope that helps you to see who is Zion.
Heb 12:23 To the general assembly and church of the firstborn, which are written in heaven, and to God the Judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect,
Your brother in Christ,
Mike
