Zion, a symbol for Jerusalem, God's throne, the Temple, God's Kingdom, and His government, stands as the center of Christ's rule. In Joel's prophecy, the Eternal dwells in Zion, and Jesus Christ, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, utters His voice from there, serving as refuge for His people. In Isaiah's Apocalypse, Christ reigns gloriously on Mount Zion, governing the earth and directing His reconciling work worldwide from this central location. In Revelation, the Woman riding the Beast, identified as Jerusalem, epitomizes the Babylonish system. Yet those who journey to Zion are blessed, going from strength to strength. The redeemed shall come to Zion with singing, seeking not the earthly city but the heavenly Jerusalem, the city of the living God. Also see sermons and articles about Zion.
