the favorite place of God,
the fountain of His healing,
help, support, and blessing
Ps. 9:1, 87:2; Ps. 20:2, 128:5

Zion is
the dwelling and resting place of God.
He has chosen Zion,
He has desired it for His dwelling.

Zion is
the location of His roaring Voice.
Amos 1:2 

Zion is
the place of cleansing, beauty and holiness
where God's smoke and fire are
His protection in darkness
and His glory a canopy.
The place of safety - a "refuge and hiding place
from the storm and rain."
Isa. 4:2-6

Zion is
where God exalts His Son-King
in a permanent place of reign . . . forever!
Ps. 2:6; Ps. 146:10; Isa. 24:23

the place from which His dominion

And He is exalted above all the peoples.

where God appears in His glory.

the future throne of the Lamb and with
Him there on Zion, singing a secret song,
will be those who followed Him
through any dying pathway.
Rev. 14:1

Zion is
Tomorrow and it is Today.
David conquered Zion by war.
He fought for, saw, knew and lived in Zion.
Yesterday.
2 Sam. 5:7

Zion is
the present dwelling place for those who have no
opposition to God, who surrender in utter abandon.

Zion is
where God rules and whenever one will let Him
rule as King, that one is in Zion . . .
in God's presence, protection and glory!
And that one who lives in Zion's splendor
is the instrument of His dominion
in the very earth, and the vessel of His authority.
The voice of His Voice.
The scepter of His Scepter.
The ambassador in earth of His Throne in heaven.

Only Zion. Only Zion.
Only out of Zion does God's clear reign go forth,
and His power become manifest.
Only in Zion are His secrets known.
Isa. 24:23 

Joseph bowed to God's choices and reigned
(in Zion position) over all his enemies.

transcendent place of Zion and
lions were conquered in Daniel's trusting
presence by angels sent from Zion.

Being ruled-over takes you into the covering
of God's Absolute rule and His vivid presence
where all His power and vision envelopes you.
The place of protection. The home of Rest.
Ps. 102:16

This is Zion!
It is a spiritual realm, for now, not a spot on earth.
Zion. Available today in millennium glory.

And! There is a Zion yet to come, a new Jerusalem,
a future dominion of the Savior that will once
again exist on earth.
A throne of His visible rule will descend
on the earthly Zion of Israel and He will take
up residence there.

Zion is
His heavenly throne.

Zion is
His future throne on earth.

Zion is
the fountain of Divine power and
the only place of safety.
Zion rests ABOVE.
Over all confusions and attacks.

Zion is
where God pronounces and imparts.
In Zion God roars and whispers, and those
who live unhinged before Him hear and receive.
Ps. 84:7; Is. 2:3

The gate to Zion is narrow. Low and stringent.
Only your New Person can pass through.
Leave and drop agendas, ambitions, rights.
Abandon honor among men and favorite loves.

The door UP to Zion is DOWN through the grave
of human independence and soulish strength. 

Zion is the pinnacle of human possibility
and the only REAL earthly experience of heaven. 

All Zion treasure is open to those
who war their way to its heights as David,
and rest under God's absolute reign
by personal abandon.
Joel 3:17 

Let Him be King OF you and He will be King
THROUGH you as the ambassador of His will,
bringing forth the Kingdom of God in earth,
dismissing little lawless chiefs who
pose on their cardboard thrones.
Micah 4:13; Isa. 1:27

Zion is Tomorrow . . .
and Zion is Now.

Zion is
simply this:
Jesus Christ in His unsearchable riches,
where He is allowed to express His Wondrous Being
through our earthen vessels with
no rivalry to His place and
no resistance to His will.

That is Zion - all the manifest glory of the Son,
Beloved of God and crowned as King.
 
When all else has fallen, Zion will stand.
And those who choose to live there
"dwell in the secret place of the Most High,
shall abide under the shadow of the Almighty.
Psalm 91
