Gods Favor For Zion: Psalm 87
“1) His foundation is in the holy mountains. 2) The Lord loves the gates of Zion More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob. 3) Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God. Selah. “4) I shall mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me; Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia: ‘This one was born there.’ ” 5) But of Zion it shall be said, “This one and that one were born in her”; And the Most High Himself will establish her. 6) The Lord will count when He registers the peoples, “This one was born there.” Selah. 7)Then those who sing as well as those who play the flutes shall say, “All my springs of joy are in you.”” Psalms 87:1-7
Mt Zion is a hill located in Jerusalem. God highly favors Jerusalem. It was called “the City of David.” It was the place where the temple was built.
According to Zechariah 8:3, the Messiah is going to return to Zion and rule. Jesus spent a portion of His ministry in Jerusalem. Zechariah 14 paints to the return of Jesus to this region for His the Millennial Kingdom. (Revelation 20)
This Psalm and the entire Bible establishes Jerusalem as the apple of Gods eye. It is the epicenter of end time events.
Psalm 122:6-9 calls on us to pray for the peace of Jerusalem. I have not been there up to this point in my life, but the promised land has a special place on my heart. I have an earnest desire to visit the holy lands someday.
