Dream a little dream (part 2)

Is Zion where the LORD lives, as the Psalmist in Psalms 132:15 says? Does He chose to be in a place that I know nothing about, can't even conceive or perceive of, and is it something that I am in danger of losing if I am not careful? (Psalms 137:1) Does my sin lead me further and further from His habitation? And my repentance brings me closer to Him, because I come to realize how solemn a time it is to be with Him. (Joel 2:1,15). Zion is the spiritual representation of His physical temple in Jerusalem, according to the scripture. (Psalms 65:29; Psalms 48:9; Psalms29:9) It is where God sits on His throne as in Isaiah 6:1 and it is where He delegates to those who He has chosen to demonstrate His power. (Mal 3:1) It is a place we all join n order to derive our power, the source of which is God. And it is where I must realize that I need to acknowledge Him daily, give Him praise daily (Luke 24:53) and acknowledge Him as my Father (Psalms 9:11, Psalms 48:11, Psalms 74:2) and realize that I am in His holy city, when I join with my brethren (Matt 23:16). Where the notion came from that Israel would be rebuilt and Jesus would sit there I don't have a clue. Israel as it is now is not accepting of Jesus as the Messiah, although He truly is. And Israel as it is not is not the seat of His body. It is a place of great turmoil and warring between descendants of David and descendants of Ismail. If we take everything in scripture as being literal, then Jezebel will come back to life as will Babylon so that the Book of Revelation can be taken as written. No, because the bible is a book filled with parables allegories and actual events the reader m st be well aware of which is which. And therefore when the author speaks of the New Israel or the New Jerusalem, he is speaking of the Church, the congregation of God's family in Zion, heaven.
