Zion - the Mountain of the Lord

 “And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow unto it.”

‭‭Isaiah‬ ‭2:2‬ ‭KJV‬‬

Isaiah’s prophecy is that in the last days, the mountain of Yahweh’s temple will be raised up as the Head of the mountains, towering over all the hills.  A sparkling stream of every nation will flow into it.  No matter how despicable our past, God’s grace will fully establish His people as the Mountain rising above every other mountain.  Mountains in the Bible are often used metaphorically for kingdoms.  Kingdoms and governments are like mountains and hills.  The Mountain-Kingdom of God is the chief of all mountains, the highest of all hills.  The secular world sees Christ’s Kingdom as irrelevant and powerless.  But that day is not far when the kingdoms of the earth will be levelled and the King of kings Mountain will be high and exalted.  Without any rival, Jesus sits enthroned on that Mountain-Kingdom which is Zion, a synonym for the people of God, the dwelling place for His Spirit.  This is where Yahweh is known for His greatness, the Hope for all the afflicted.  Glory to God!
