Zion
2 Samuel 5:7 Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.
The verse above is the first location in the Bible where Zion is mentioned. Strong's Concordance contains this brief entry for Zion:
06726 Tsiyown tsee-yone’
the same (regularly) as 06725, Greek 4622 siwn; TWOT-1910; n pr loc
AV-Zion 153, Sion 1; 154
Zion =" parched place"
1) another name for Jerusalem especially in the prophetic books
Zion is spelled Sion in the KJV New Testament. There are two references to Sion in the Old Testament. The first is Deuteronomy 4:48 and it refers to Mount Hebron, rather than Jerusalem/Zion. The second is Psalms 65:1, which is referring to Zion.
Zion held a special place in David's heart. David was a man after God's own heart and we know that Zion holds a special place in God's heart. Indeed the good Lord has loved Zion and always will.
I will tell you for a certainty that Satan hates Zion. This is true because the hatred of Satan will be focused like a laser upon all that God holds dear just as his eyes were fixed upon man in the Garden of Eden. Satan desires to first defile and then destroy Zion. He is doing so right now through his godless servants that have filled that land.
The following images show what is Going on in Israel. There are far worse examples that could be shown, but you get the idea. The people in and around Zion fly the rainbow colors of gay pride and they carry the hexagram star of their god, Saturn:
We know that homosexuality has drawn the judgement of God in the Old Testament. This is a different age. People have a lifetime to come to Jesus. Sometimes that lifetime is cut short by chance and other times by our own behavior.
Final Judgement will come at the Great White Throne. But the judgement of God upon this age is being stored up. The day approaches when God will start the timer on the final 42 months before the return of Jesus. At that time judgement shall begin and Israel, Jerusalem in particular, shall be right in the bull's eye of it.
Revelation 11:8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
The beast defeats the two witnesses of God in Jerusalem, where our Lord was crucified. The judgements of the Sixth Trumpet and the Sixth Vial both strike the region of the river Euphrates. We are told that the Fifth Vial is poured upon the seat of the beast. We cannot be absolutely certain, but this writer asserts that the seat of the beast is indeed Jerusalem.
We know for a fact that when Christ returns the first place on earth where he sets his feet shall be Mount Zion:
Revelation 14:1 And I looked, and, lo, a Lamb stood on the mount Sion, and with him an hundred forty and four thousand, having his Father’s name written in their foreheads.
Satan desires to defile the Holy Land of God. He desires to turn it into an abomination. In the Illuminati film The Matrix Reloaded we are given a glimpse of Satan's Zion:
In the film those who have been disconnected from the matrix have founded a safe haven that they call Zion. In the image above I envision the Canaanites worshiping Baal or the children of Israel who "rose up to play" before the golden calf. Still the scenes of Zion in the film are tame compared to what actually goes on in Israel today.
Where does Matrix tell us that this Zion exists?
Deep inside the earth near the core.
THE ZION OF THE MATRIX IS HELL
Those who serve Satan hate God's Zion. They have but one message for Zion:
F U SION - Do you get it? I am not spelling it out for you. The image has the "X" of Osiris and many masonic pyramids. There is also beast mark symbolism in there.
Sodom and Egypt where also our Lord was crucified. Is it starting to click yet? Satan and his little monsters are piling up the sewage in the Holy Land and let's not even get into what World War Z wished upon Jerusalem. The Lord will have a monumental clean up project when he returns. But he has that covered:
Zechariah 14:
2 For I will gather all nations against Jerusalem to battle; and the city shall be taken, and the houses rifled, and the women ravished; and half of the city shall go forth into captivity, and the residue of the people shall not be cut off from the city.
3 Then shall the LORD go forth, and fight against those nations, as when he fought in the day of battle.
4 And his feet shall stand in that day upon the mount of Olives, which is before Jerusalem on the east, and the mount of Olives shall cleave in the midst thereof toward the east and toward the west, and there shall be a very great valley; and half of the mountain shall remove toward the north, and half of it toward the south.
5 And ye shall flee to the valley of the mountains; for the valley of the mountains shall reach unto Azal: yea, ye shall flee, like as ye fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah: and the LORD my God shall come, and all the saints with thee.
6 And it shall come to pass in that day, that the light shall not be clear, nor dark:
7 But it shall be one day which shall be known to the LORD, not day, nor night: but it shall come to pass, that at evening time it shall be light.
8 ¶ And it shall be in that day, that living waters shall go out from Jerusalem; half of them toward the former sea, and half of them toward the hinder sea: in summer and in winter shall it be.
9 And the LORD shall be king over all the earth: in that day shall there be one LORD, and his name one.
From Zechariah and the Revelation it is apparent that the entire region around the Holy Land (and likely the rest of the earth) is going to be terraformed by the good Lord to prepare for his coming.
In closing, if you attend a church that pushes Zionism do please try to have an open mind and heart. Look into the origins of Zionism and how that the modern state of Israel came to be. It is not of God, but it is allowed by God in order to fulfill prophecy.
Shalom
