Question

.

Answer 2

Zion (Hebrew: צִיּוֹן, tziyyon; Tiberian vocalization: tsiyyôn; transliterated Zion or Sion) is a term that most often designates the land of Israel and its capital Jerusalem. The word is found in texts dating back almost three millennia. It originally referred to a specific mountain near Jerusalem (Mount Zion), on which stood a Jebusite fortress of the same name that was conquered by David and renamed the City of David.

"Zion" came to be applied to the section of Jerusalem where the fortress stood, and later became synonymous with Jerusalem. "Zion" is also a metonym for Solomon's Temple. Today, "Zion" is often used metaphorically, to symbolize Jerusalem and the Promised Land to come, in which God dwells among his chosen people.

Mount Zion is also the modern name of a hill south of the Old City's Armenian Quarter — the result of a misnomer dating from the Middle Ages when pilgrims mistook the relatively large, flat summit for the original site of the City of David. The Dormition Church (right) is located upon that hill.

Answer 4

Zion is the name of a Mount associated with the City of Jerusalem in the time of David and has come to represent figuratively the people of God. The actual Mount appears to have been located somewhere South of the ancient walled City of Jerusalem. It is set in contrast to Mount Sinai, representative of the Old Covenant in Hebrews 12:22-24 where we read "But you have come to Mount Zion and to the City of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to myriads of angels, and to the general assembly and church of the first-born who are enrolled in heaven, and to God, the Judge of all, and to the spirits of righteous men made perfect, and to Jesus, the mediator of a new covenant, and to the sprinkled blood, which speaks better than the blood of Abel"
In my opinion then, it appears to take on the significance of the convergence of the destinies of God's 2 covenant people in the earth; namely the Jews and born-again believers in Jesus Christ.
