As Zion

Psalms 125:1 KJV

They that trust in the LORD shall be as mount Zion, which cannot be removed, but abideth for ever.

Mount Zion is quite the study.

• This was the site of the original city of the Jebusites which David conquered.
• It became known as the city of David and later, as Jerusalem built up around it, took on a more sentimental and even mystical aura.
• It is spoken of much in the Psalms and by most of the prophets.
• In the New Testament it is used to speak of both the church of God and the Heavenly Jerusalem. It therefore transcends time.

It existed before the Jews possessed the Promised Land and will continue into eternity.

• It was obvious because it was the highest point in Jerusalem and
• It was beloved as being the site of their first victory over the city

God's word promises the same to those who trust in the Lord:

• We have a history previous to our conversion
• We have become accepted into the beloved
• We have been made joint heirs with Jesus and
• We will live eternally with God
