In the Bible there are two verses of Zion. The Physical Zion built by King David but there is also a spiritual Zion which was built by the spiritual King David, Jesus Christ (Lk 1:31). Zion is an important place for God's people because that is were God Himself will grant salvation. But we need to understand exactly what Zion is. Just because a church is called "Zion" on the outside doesn't necessarily we can beleive it's really Zion.
- WHAT MAKES ZION? HOW CAN WE RECOGNIZE IT? -
Look upon Zion, the city of our festivals;
.....For the LORD is our judge,
the LORD is our lawgiver,
the LORD is our king;
it is he who will save us.
Then Zion is the place where God's Feasts are kept. God's Feasts are found in Lev 23 which are the weekly observation of the Sabbath and the Seven Feasts of Three Times a Year.
Passover & Unleavened Bread
First Fruits & Feast of Weeks (In the New Testament is Resurrection Day & Feast of Pentecost)
Feast of Trumpets, Day of Atonement and Feast of Tabernacles
These Feasts are grouped into three: Passover & Feast of Unleavened Bread, Feast of Pentecost and the Feast of Tabernacles.
Wherever these Feasts are kept this place can be called Zion. 2,000 years ago Jesus Christ established Zion because He and His disciples kept all the Feast of God.
It is now 2010. No Church keeps the Feasts of God. All the churches keep celebrations such as the Communion which holds no promise from God, as well as Christmas and even Thanksgiving which has no breath of life in it. Then, what happened to the Feasts??
