PSALM 48
- Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in the mountain of His holiness.
- Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.
- God is known in her palaces for a refuge.
What is the City of God? Where is the mountain of His Holiness? Where is Mount Zion?
DEFINITIONS
Zion -c) a mountain of Jerusalem (a permanent capital).
The word Zion is not in the New Testament of the King James version of the Bible. There is still a city of God. We start out learning that God is Great and Greatly to Be Praised. The city of God is where He lives.
John 14:23 If a person really loves Me, he will keep My Word – obey My teaching; and My Father will love him, and We will come to him and make Our home (abode, special dwelling place) with him. Amp. C.
Moses and Elijah found the Lord on the Mountain. Now He chooses to dwell in the hearts of those who love and obey Him. So, we are Mount Zion. We must become the mountain of His holiness. We must allow Him to cleanse out hearts and change our minds, so we follow Him in all of our ways. We must be like Him.
This is where His presence is because it is His dwelling place. His dwelling place is holy.
Isaiah 2:2 It shall come to pass in the latter days that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be firmly established as the highest of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills, and all nations shall flow to it.
3. And many people shall come and say, Come, let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, to the house of the God of Jacob; that He may teach us His ways and that we may walk in His paths. For out of Zion shall go forth the law and instruction, and the Word of the Lord from Jerusalem.
