Bible Question:
Where is Zion? or where was Zion? Isiah 40:9 "Messenger of good news, shout to Zion from the mountaintops!" And I know there are many other times Zion is mentioned. |
Bible Answer: 1 Kings tells us that Zion is the city of David,(Bethlehem). Zion is also used to sometimes symbolize the people (Israel)as in Isaiah 28:16. The word Zion comes from a hebrew word that means monument. As God originally meant for the Israelites to be his monument on earth, an example for the nations to follow. Other names for the nation include: Jerusalem, Jeshurun, Jacob, The daughters of Zion, depending on the context in which they are used. |
