WHAT ARE MOUNT ZION and ZION
The Symbolic Meaning Of Mountain In The Bible:
<1>The meaning of mountain in the Bible is given in chapter 2 of Daniel in the dream of King Nebuchadnezzar. In verse 35, it is described how a stone will smite the image in the king's dream and consume it, and how, "...the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth" (Daniel 2:35).
<2>In the interpretation of the dream, the meaning of the stone which destroyed the image (earthly kingdom) is given in verse 44:
And in the days of these kings [the last ten kings symbolized as ten toes of the image] shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom [mountain which filled the earth], which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms [as the stone did to the image], and it shall stand for ever.
<3>So the stone (symbol of truth) will come and destroy the untrue set-ups symbolized by the image. <4>The stone will become a great mountain and fill the whole earth. This mountain is the Kingdom which will be set up by the God of heaven and will last forever.
<5>Therefore the symbolic meaning of mountain in the Bible is the coming of the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth, "and filled the whole earth." This Kingdom will be directed by the Elected Ones, not by others, "and the kingdom shall not be left to other people,...and it shall stand for ever."
Similarity Of The Shape Of A Mountain To A Triangle Upward ():
<6>The shape of a mountain, especially when it is standing by itself, is similar to a triangle upward (). As it is revealed in The Greatest Sign and is described in our writings, the triangle upward is the symbol for organizational structure. <7>In the organizational structure, the president is at the top of the structure and then comes one or more vice-presidents, department heads, and so on:
<8>If a border is put around this organizational structure, we will have a triangle upward ().
<9>However, in the Bible this structure has been symbolized by a mountain. The mountain is one of the most stable structures on earth, as is the organizational structure of the Kingdom Of Heaven On Earth (KOHOE), which has God Himself at the very top as the King of the kings of the universe and earth.
Mount Zion:
<10> This mountain or organizational structure of the Kingdom Of Heaven is called Mount Zion.
Zion:
<11>However, as it is revealed in The Greatest Sign, the Kingdom Of Heaven consists of two triangles, one upward () and another downward () merged together () (star of David). The triangle downward is the symbol of justice and control. Therefore, there is a counterpart for Mount Zion as justice and control through organizational structure. <12>This is symbolized as Zion.
<13>So Mount Zion and Zion together symbolize the Kingdom Of Heaven (God) on earth ().
