His Foundation Is In The Holy Mountains

A Psalm for the sons of Korah.

A part of the commentary from bible.org.

"Question: "What is Zion? What is Mount Zion? What is the biblical meaning of Zion?"

Answer: Psalm 87:2–3 says, “[2] The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. [3] Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah." 

According to this verse, Zion is synonymous with city of God, and it is a place that God loves. Zion is Jerusalem. Mount Zion is the high hill on which David built a citadel. It is on the southeast side of the city.

The word Zion occurs over 150 times in the Bible. It essentially means “fortification” and has the idea of being “raised up” as a “monument.” Zion is described both as the city of David and the city of God. As the Bible progresses, the word Zion expands in scope and takes on an additional, spiritual meaning.

The first mention of Zion in the Bible is 2 Samuel 5:7: “David captured the fortress of Zion—which is the City of David.” Zion was originally an ancient Jebusite fortress in the city of Jerusalem. After David’s conquest of the fortress, Jerusalem became a possession of Israel. The royal palace was built there, and Zion/Jerusalem became the seat of power in Israel’s kingdom.."

"Glorious things are spoken of thee"

The forefather David conquered and build a fortress in it. A prophetic act; building up a holy place for the coming Holy, Heavenly King, his descendant, JESUS the Christ;  as it is mentioned here in verse [1] His foundation is in the holy mountains.. 

The foundation of The Word is in mount Zion, The LORD JESUS set His foot in it, He had entered into the temple and taught people the word of life, some accepted and fear GOD, but most, as well as the wise in heart and powerful leaders rejected Him.

Zion reflects the heavenly kingdom of The LORD JESUS CHRIST where He will take his people to safety. It is the holy mountain where no sin is able to enter. Where his saints; the justified, sanctified and regenerated,  having thier glorified body,  shall be free from all sickness, weariness, fears and tears. 

This is the hope of every true believers  of Christ. 

"We're marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion.

We're marching upward to Zion, the beautiful city of GOD! "

Are you with us having our hope stablished in that sure foundation of that holy mountain? 

If you are not sure, then you can be sure now. Do what you have to do as it is written: Romans 10:9,11,13 KJV

[9] That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 

[11] For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 

[13] For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.

John 14:6 KJV

[6] Jesus saith unto him, I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me.

Be saved today!

Good morning! 

Psalm 87:1-7 KJV

[1] His foundation is in the holy mountains. [2] The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. [3] Glorious things are spoken of thee, O city of God. Selah. [4] I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon to them that know me: behold Philistia, and Tyre, with Ethiopia; this man was born there. [5] And of Zion it shall be said, This and that man was born in her: and the highest himself shall establish her. [6] The Lord shall count, when he writeth up the people, that this man was born there. Selah. [7] As well the singers as the players on instruments shall be there : all my springs are in thee.
