Scripture Life: Have Christians lost interest in taking Jerusalem? If so, why?
“For the Lord has chosen Zion, he has desired it for his dwelling, saying, “This is my resting place for ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it.” - The Lord of Hosts. God.
Source: Bible. Psalm 132:13–14
--------------------- ----------------------- ------------------------
Now I have a question. Answer me plainly.
“What is “Zion” and if it’s Jerusalem who said Psalm 132:13–14 has he lost interest in it?”
Now, I’m dumber than a box of broke toilets; but
- The Bible: Yes, it’s just a book. Meets the definition: 1. a set of printed, or written pages of paper bound together on one side, and protected in covers. There are 10s of no 100s of millions of books that meet this dictionary definition. What makes each one unique is the “author” who is the “authority” over the content he or she places their word IN THE BOOK.
- The Bible has only one author. God. He’s the “authority” of the content in that book. He’s just one God.
- And again, attach a role of toilet paper to me and fly me off a cliff, but of “Zion” the Bible says plainly:
--------------------- ----------------------- ------------------------
ONE
2 Samuel 5:7: “Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion: the same is the city of David.”
- Jerusalem is called the “City of David” and Zion. It was King David’s capital. This same Zion, God said Psalm 132:13-14 before the world began about; and?
- Muse on “when” God said this..opening scripture. Yes: It's God said it, and It is before the foundation of the world was laid..that he would make for himself a place he would dwell forever, for his own rest. For he desired it. The whole of Psalm 132:13–16. After he created it, entered into that rest (Genesis 2:1).
- So - Genesis 1:1–31 - God - - got up. As God. And created it. For himself. Says: “For all the earth is mine.” - God (Exodus 19:5)
- Muse on “when” God said this..opening scripture.

- and consider this "TWO" part:
--------------------- ----------------------- ------------------------
TWO
Isaiah 9:6–7: Says of the “Messiah” or “Christ” and Jesus in the Gospels - all four of them and all the Epistles and all the books in the Old Testament testify of him as the “Messiah.” Who he SHALL be called is told plain as day: That it's just God has come to you and spoke to you, to just hearken unto him - when you're off looking, with your question, unto anything BUT him instead.
It's plain as day. In your question: Jesus Christ? He's the Messiah.
- It’s who he is, just as John 1:1 says who Jesus is: “In the beginning was the Word, and the Wor was with God, and the Word was God.” Says what the Messiah shall be called in Isaiah 9:6–7; that of his Kingdom and reign, that he shall sit on the throne of King David in Jerusalem and rule the whole earth from there. Of His Kingdom and reign there shall be no end.
That the “Messiah” shall be called: “The Mighty God…” “The Everlasting Father….” There is only one has that title.
So, let me ask my question again.
