ZION SHOULD PUT ON HER BEAUTIFUL GARMENTS-   

18/10/2011

Ps 50:2  Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.

Isa 30:19  For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; You shall weep no more. He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry; When He hears it, He will answer you. –JESUS CHRIST is giving His light to make the captives cry unto Him-

Because God’s end time ZION  have failed in their work, JESUS CHRIST is working amidst them to build them again through His new servants, the gentiles, Acts 28: 28—

All scriptures in this article show either the work of ISRAEL of Ro 9: 4,6 or gentiles of Isa 14: 30,32.

ANCIENT JERUSALEM PICTURES THE CHURCH-Zion

The most ancient name of the city was Salem, Ge 14:18 Ps 76:2; and it afterwards was called Jebus, as belonging to the Jebusites, Jud 19:10,11. Being a very strong position, it resisted the attempts of the Israelites to become the sole masters of it, until at length its fortress was stormed by David, 2Sa 5:6,9; after which it received its present name, and was also called "the city of David."

ZION is David’s city (praises to God was made from ZION, from David!), 2Sa 5:7, David grew great as LORD was with him, 2Sa 5:10, David knew that the LORD exalted his kingdom for His people Israel’s sake, (because ISRAEL is special for God!), 2Sa 5:12, DAVID KNEW LORD’S CONCERN FOR HIS CHOSEN ISRAEL!

Heb 12:22  But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem,-- Ps 103:19  The LORD hath prepared His throne in the heavens; and His kingdom ruleth over all.-- Heb 8:1-- this is the sum: We have such an high priest, who is set on the right hand of the throne of the Majesty in the heavens;

Those who resurrect through his blood come to heavenly places, as JESUS CHRIST is in heavenly places, Eph 1: 20, Eph 2: 5,6,13. –IT IS GENTILES who are thus serving Him in HEAVENLY PLACES---read—“ LORD’S WORK IN HEAVENLY PLACES” , 17/10/2011.

Ob 1:17  "But on Mount Zion there shall be deliverance, And there shall be holiness; The house of Jacob shall possess their possessions.

In present times, LORD speaks of His church, the ISRAEL who has the right to covenant, God’s service, God’s promises, Ro 9; 4,6

During this time, the ISRAEL had been as bones scattered in the altar of God—Eze. 6: 5  --AND THEIR WORKS ABOLISHED, VS. 6-- the gentiles know how they broke the covenant, Ez 39; 21-23 (LORD hid Himself from them, vs. 21-23).

But after correction He would not hide anymore, Eze. 39: 28,29, ISRAEL  would return to the LORD, from many nations, vs. 29.  

Joe 2:32  And it shall come to pass That whoever calls on the name of the LORD Shall be saved. For in Mount Zion and in Jerusalem there shall be deliverance, --

Please note—WHEN YOU NAME THE NAME OF JESUS CHRIST, YOU ARE TO DEPART FROM INIQUITY, 2 TIM 2: 19, LORD PURIFES ISRAEL’S Righteousness AS FILTHY RAGS, Isa 64:6, THROUGH ALLOWING THEM TO BE NAMED AFTER HIM THROUGH THE BAPTIZM INTO HIS DEATH TO BE PURIFIED OF SINS, TO ATTAIN HIS Righteousness, RO 6: 3-7, 19,22.

Joe 3:16  The LORD also will roar from Zion, And utter His voice from Jerusalem; The heavens and earth will shake; But the LORD will be a shelter for His people, And the strength of the children of Israel. 17  "So you shall know that I am the LORD your God, Dwelling in Zion My holy mountain. Then Jerusalem shall be holy, And no aliens shall ever pass through her again."

Mic 4:2- For out of Zion the law shall go forth, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

Mic 4:7  I will make the lame a remnant, And the outcast a strong nation; So the LORD will reign over them in Mount Zion From now on, even forever.---OUT CASTS WERE PROPHET AND MINISTRY, Ez 12: 3-15. THEY WOULD BE BROUGHT BACK TO LAND OF ISRAEL, Eze. 39: 28-29.

Mic 4:8  And you, O tower of the flock, The stronghold of the daughter of Zion, To you shall it come, Even the former dominion shall come, The kingdom of the daughter of Jerusalem."

Zep 3:14  Sing, O daughter of Zion! Shout, O Israel! Be glad and rejoice with all your heart, O daughter of Jerusalem!--Zep 3:16  In that day it shall be said to Jerusalem: "Do not fear; Zion, let not your hands be weak.

Zec 1:14  So the angel who spoke with me said to me, "Proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: "I am zealous for Jerusalem And for Zion with great zeal.

Zec 1:17  "Again proclaim, saying, ‘Thus says the LORD of hosts: "My cities shall again spread out through prosperity; The LORD will again comfort Zion, And will again choose Jerusalem."’"

Zec 2:7  "Up, Zion! Escape, you who dwell with the daughter of Babylon."

Zec 2:10  "Sing and rejoice, O daughter of Zion! For behold, I am coming and I will dwell in your midst," says the LORD.--Zec 8:2  "Thus says the LORD - With great fervor I am zealous for her.’--Zec 8:3  "Thus says the LORD: ‘I will return to Zion, And dwell in the midst of Jerusalem. Jerusalem shall be called the City of Truth, The Mountain of the LORD of hosts, The Holy Mountain.’(He had been away!)

Zec 9:9  -Mt 21:5  "Tell the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your King is coming to you, Lowly, and sitting on a donkey, A colt, the foal of a donkey.’"--Joh 12:15  "Fear not, daughter of Zion; Behold, your King is coming, Sitting on a donkey’s colt."

KING AND GOD OF ISRAEL IS COMING TO ISRAEL VERY SOON!

Isa 60:14- they shall call you The City of the LORD, Zion of the Holy One of Israel.

Isa 62:1  For Zion‘s sake I will not hold My peace, And for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, Until her righteousness goes forth as brightness, And her salvation as a lamp that burns. –and gentiles as watchmen have to work day and night, vs. 7.

Jer 26:18- Thus says the LORD of hosts: "Zion shall be plowed like a field, Jerusalem shall become heaps of ruins, And the mountain of the temple Like the bare hills of the forest."’--Mic 3:12  same things as Jer 26: 18! TEMPLE OF GOD DESOLATED BY THE LEADERS OF END TIME CHURCH, LEADER’S VOICE AS A LION DESTROYS EVERY ONE, Jer 2: 30! THIS LION IS Pharaoh!, Ez 32: 2

Mic 4:10  Be in pain, and labor to bring forth, O daughter of Zion, Like a woman in birth pangs. For now you shall go forth from the city, You shall dwell in the field, And to Babylon you shall go. There you shall be delivered; There the LORD will redeem you From the hand of your enemies.---PCG is in Babylon—in peoples’ wilderness, Eze 20:35, --

La 1:4  The roads to Zion mourn Because no one comes to the set feasts. All her gates are desolate; Her priests sigh, Her virgins are afflicted, And she is in bitterness.--6  And from the daughter of Zion All her splendor has departed. Her princes have become like deer That find no pasture, That flee without strength Before the pursuer.

La 1:17  Zion spreads out her hands, But no one comforts her; --Jerusalem has become an unclean thing among them.---PCG having feasts without LORD! They enjoy with food and play---but no pasture from God!

La 2:6  He has done violence to His tabernacle, As if it were a garden; He has destroyed His place of assembly; The LORD has caused The appointed feasts and Sabbaths to be forgotten in Zion. In His burning indignation He has spurned the king and the priest.- La 2:10  The elders of the daughter of Zion Sit on the ground and keep silence;--- The virgins of Jerusalem Bow their heads to the ground.

Isa 12:6  Cry out and shout, O inhabitant of Zion, For great is the Holy One of Israel in your midst!"---LORD HAD PAVED THE WAY FOR ISRAEL OF ROM 9: 4,6 TO RETURN TO HIM TAKING WORDS, Hos 14: 1,2, THE WORDS OF ROM 6: 3-7, 19, 22 TO RETURN TO HIM IN Righteousness TO SERVE HIM AS SILVER AND GOLD, MAL 3: 3.—HE IS A GREAT GOD OF ISRAEL!

LEADER OF FALLEN CHURCH SAYS--Isa 8:18  Here am I and the children whom the LORD has given me! We are for signs and wonders in Israel From the LORD of hosts, Who dwells in Mount Zion.

Isa 14:32  What will they answer the messengers of the nation? That the LORD has founded Zion, And the poor of His people shall take refuge in it.—FIRST BORN of poor, Isa 14: 30 have taken refuge as they trust in JESUS CHRIST, Isa 14: 32.

Isa 16:1  Send the lamb to the ruler of the land, From Sela to the wilderness, To the mount of the daughter of Zion.—LORD in His mercy, works to bring back captives of ZION! Isa 1:27  Zion shall be redeemed with justice, And her penitents with righteousness.--- Isa 4:4  When the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion, and purged the blood of Jerusalem from her midst, by the spirit of judgment and by the spirit of burning,-- Isa 2:3  Many people shall come and say, "Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the LORD, To the house of the God of Jacob; He will teach us His ways, And we shall walk in His paths." For out of Zion shall go forth the law, And the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.-- Isa 4:5  then the LORD will create above every dwelling place of Mount Zion, and above her assemblies, a cloud and smoke by day and the shining of a flaming fire by night. For over all the glory there will be a covering.—LORD CREATS CLOUDS, Ez 30: 3.

La 2:13  How shall I console you? To what shall I liken you, O daughter of Jerusalem? What shall I compare with you, that I may comfort you, O virgin daughter of Zion? For your ruin is spread wide as the sea; Who can heal you?

THUS ZION A SEA AND LIKE IN HISTORY OF ISRAEL, HE PROVIDES CLOUD AND FIRE TO GIVE LIGHT TO THEM WHEN THEY HAVE TO COME OUT OF Egypt AND NATIONS, Jer 23: 7,8.

 Isa 3:16  - daughters of Zion are haughty, 17  - Lord will strike with a scab The crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, And the LORD will uncover their secret parts."--Isa 64:10  Your holy cities are a wilderness, Zion is a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation.--Isa 1:8  So the daughter of Zion is left as a booth in a vineyard,

Isa 10:12  Therefore it shall come to pass, when the Lord has performed all His work on Mount Zion and on Jerusalem, that He will say, "I will punish the fruit of the arrogant heart of the king of Assyria, and the glory of his haughty looks."

Isa 10:24  Therefore thus says the Lord GOD of hosts: "O My people, who dwell in Zion, do not be afraid of the Assyrian. He shall strike you with a rod and lift up his staff against you, in the manner of Egypt.(Assyrian would come as Pharaoh!).

Isa 31:4---- So the LORD of hosts will come down To fight for Mount Zion and for its hill.---THIS IS THE BURDEN OF THE POOR TO WORK TO REMOVE THIS Assyrian, Isa 14: 25,26. Jer 4:6  Set up the standard toward Zion. Take refuge! Do not delay! For I will bring disaster from the north, And great destruction."

Am 1:2  And he said: "The LORD roars from Zion, And utters His voice from Jerusalem; The pastures of the shepherds mourn, And the top of Carmel withers."

Isa 4:3  And it shall come to pass that he who is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy––everyone who is recorded among the living in Jerusalem.—GENTILES THE POOR WERE LEFT IN IT, AND THEY WERE GIVEN LAND TO PLANT, Jer 39: 10.---- La 2:4  Standing like an enemy, He has bent His bow; With His right hand, like an adversary, He has slain all who were pleasing to His eye; On the tent of the daughter of Zion, He has poured out His fury like fire.---LORD WAS TRAMPLING ISRAEL SERVED BY GENTILES, LA 1: 15, RE 11: 2.

Am 6:1  Woe to you who are at ease in Zion, And trust in Mount Samaria, Notable persons in the chief nation, To whom the house of Israel comes!

THE LEADERS OF GOD’S CHURCH ARE AT EASE—THEY ARE NOT BOTHERED ABOUT THE BRIDE OF CHRIST---THEY KEEP DOING OTHER THINGS AND ENJOYING, THEY DO NOT UNDERSTAND THAT THE LORD’S HOUSE IS IN RUINS EVEN WHEN LORD SAYS THAT SANCTUARY IS PROFANED, Ez 24: 21.

WHEN THEY UNDERSTAND THE WORK OF GENTILES, THEY FEAR!

Isa 31:9  He shall cross over to his stronghold for fear, And his princes shall be afraid of the banner," Says the LORD, Whose fire is in Zion And whose furnace is in Jerusalem.---Isa 33:14  The sinners in Zion are afraid; Fearfulness has seized the hypocrites: "Who among us shall dwell with the devouring fire? Who among us shall dwell with everlasting burnings?"

Jer 9:19  For a voice of wailing is heard from Zion: ‘How we are plundered! We are greatly ashamed, Because we have forsaken the land, Because we have been cast out of our dwellings.’"

Jer 14:19  Have You utterly rejected Judah? Has Your soul loathed Zion? Why have You stricken us so that there is no healing for us? We looked for peace, but there was no good; And for the time of healing, and there was trouble.

BELIEVE IN JESUS CHRIST-WHEN HE BUILDS HIS HOUSE--

Isa 28:16  Therefore thus says the Lord GOD: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stone for a foundation, A tried stone, a precious cornerstone, a sure foundation; Whoever believes will not act hastily. --Ro 9:33  As it is written: "Behold, I lay in Zion a stumbling stone and rock of offense, And whoever believes on Him will not be put to shame."---believe in JESUS CHRIST!--1Pe 2:6  Therefore it is also contained in the Scripture, "Behold, I lay in Zion A chief cornerstone, elect, precious, And he who believes on Him will by no means be put to shame."

Ro 11:26  And so all Israel will be saved, as it is written: "The Deliverer will come out of Zion, And He will turn away ungodliness from Jacob;

LORD’S DAY, Ez 30: 3---Isa 34:8  For it is the day of the LORD’S vengeance, The year of recompense for the cause of Zion.--Isa 33:5  The LORD is exalted, for He dwells on high; He has filled Zion with justice and righteousness.

THE LORD’S WORK IN GIVING KNOWLEDGE TO ISRAEL , Isa 11: 9, BEFORE THE SECOND EXODUS, Isa 11: 11, IS FOR THE CAUSE OF ZION---TO FILL ZION WITH JUSTICE AND Righteousness!

GENTILE WORK IN ZION--

Isa 18:7  In that time a present will be brought to the LORD of hosts From a people tall and smooth of skin, And from a people terrible from their beginning onward, A nation powerful and treading down, Whose land the rivers divide––To the place of the name of the LORD of hosts, To Mount Zion.---Isa 37:32  For out of Jerusalem shall go a remnant, And those who escape from Mount Zion.--Jer 8:19  Listen! The voice, The cry of the daughter of my people From a far country: "Is not the LORD in Zion? Is not her King in her?" "Why have they provoked Me to anger With their carved images––With foreign idols?"---THE LORD IS NOT WITH HIS CHOSEN PEOPLE AS THEY HAVE CARVED H.W.Armstrong AMIDST THEMSELVES---INSTEAD OF GOD’S WORDS, THEY PROJECT WORDS OF H.W.Armstrong TO GOD’S PEOPLE AND TO THE WORLD!

GENTILES VOICE---

Jer 50:28  The voice of those who flee and escape from the land of Babylon Declares in Zion the vengeance of the LORD our God, The vengeance of His temple. THE GENTILES WHO ESCAPED ARE REVEALING LORD’S RIGHTEOSNESS!

Jer 51:10  The LORD has revealed our righteousness. Come and let us declare in Zion the work of the LORD our God.—GENTILES REVEAL THE LORD’S SACRIFICE BY  WHICH THEY COULD RETURN TO HIM, BAPTIZING INTO HIS DEATH, RO 6: 3-7.

LORD’S PUNISHMENTS FOR Babylon AND Chaldea FOR EVIL WORK DONE IN ZION--

Jer 51:24  "And I will repay Babylon And all the inhabitants of Chaldea For all the evil they have done In Zion in your sight," says the LORD.

La 5:18  Because of Mount Zion which is desolate, With foxes walking about on it.(THE BEAST POWER INCLUDES FOXES!)

Joe 2:1  Blow the trumpet in Zion, And sound an alarm in My holy mountain! Let all the inhabitants of the land tremble; For the day of the LORD is coming, For it is at hand:--Joe 2:15  Blow the trumpet in Zion, Consecrate a fast, Call a sacred assembly;

Eze. 30: 3 DURING TIMES OF GENTILES LORD STARTED HIS DAY!---AND THAT TIME HAS AN END WHEN LORD HAD MADE THE GENTILES PREACH THE GOSPEL OF SALVATION THROUGH THE LORD’S CROSS, WHEN THE PEOPLE BELIEVE IN HIS NAME TO GET BAPTIZED INTO HIS DEATH, RO 6: 3-7, 19,22.

GENTILES REQUIRED TO WORK IN ZION AS IT’S  WATCHMEN

Isa 40:9  O Zion, You who bring good tidings, Get up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, You who bring good tidings, Lift up your voice with strength, Lift it up, be not afraid; Say to the cities of Judah, "Behold your God!"--Isa 52:7  How beautiful upon the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news, Who proclaims peace, Who brings glad tidings of good things, Who proclaims salvation, Who says to Zion, "Your God reigns!"---Isa 52:8  Your watchmen shall lift up their voices, With their voices they shall sing together; For they shall see eye to eye When the LORD brings back Zion.---Isa 59:20  "The Redeemer will come to Zion, And to those who turn from transgression in Jacob," Says the LORD.

Isa 62:11  Indeed the LORD has proclaimed To the end of the world: "Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Surely your salvation is coming; Behold, His reward is with Him, And His work before Him.’"

Jer 3:14  "Return, O backsliding children," says the LORD; "for I am married to you. I will take you, one from a city and two from a family, and I will bring you to Zion

TWO SISTERS OF A FAMILY WORKED TO BRING THE BACKSLIDING ISRAEL TO ZION, AS THE LORD IS MARRIED TO ISRAEL!

HE COMFORTS GENTILES WHO ARE HAVING THE SPIRIT OF HEAVINESS—Amos 6: 1 SAID LEADERS ARE AT EASE!—BUT THE GENTILES REALISE THE BURDEN OF THE LORD!---SO THE LORD COMFORTS GENTILES IN THE FOLLOWING VSS-

Isa 61:3  To console those who mourn in Zion, To give them beauty for ashes, The oil of joy for mourning, The garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; That they may be called trees of righteousness, The planting of the LORD, that He may be glorified."—4-- And they shall build the old wastes, they shall raise up the former desolations, and they shall repair the waste cities, the desolations of many generations.--5  And strangers shall stand and feed your flocks,

Isa 46:13  I bring My righteousness near, it shall not be far off; My salvation shall not linger. And I will place salvation in Zion, For Israel My glory.

Isa 51:3  For the LORD will comfort Zion, He will comfort all her waste places; He will make her wilderness like Eden, And her desert like the garden of the LORD; Joy and gladness will be found in it, Thanksgiving and the voice of melody.

JESUS CHRIST WOULD BE VERY GRACIOUS WHEN THEY CRY UNTO HIM-

Isa 30:19  For the people shall dwell in Zion at Jerusalem; You shall weep no more. He will be very gracious to you at the sound of your cry; When He hears it, He will answer you. ---Isa 52:2  Shake yourself from the dust, arise; Sit down, O Jerusalem! Loose yourself from the bonds of your neck, O captive daughter of Zion!

THEY CRY UNTO HIM—Jer 31:6  For there shall be a day When the watchmen will cry on Mount Ephraim, ‘Arise, and let us go up to Zion, To the LORD our God.’"

Jer 50:5  They shall ask the way to Zion, With their faces toward it, saying, ‘Come and let us join ourselves to the LORD In a perpetual covenant That will not be forgotten.’---SO PCG LEADERS WILL UNDERSTAND OF THE PERPETUAL COVENANT, Ez 16: 60-63.--Jer 31:12  Therefore they shall come and sing in the height of Zion, Streaming to the goodness of the LORD––For wheat and new wine and oil, For the young of the flock and the herd; Their souls shall be like a well–watered garden, And they shall sorrow no more at all.--Isa 33:20  Look upon Zion, the city of our appointed feasts; Your eyes will see Jerusalem, a quiet home, A tabernacle that will not be taken down; Not one of its stakes will ever be removed, Nor will any of its cords be broken.

FINALLY LORD’S PEOPLE OF RO 9: 4,6 WOULD RETURN TO HIM, Amen.

THEY RETURN TO HIM--

Isa 35:10  And the ransomed of the LORD shall return, And come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness, And sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

Isa 51:11  So the ransomed of the LORD shall return, And come to Zion with singing, With everlasting joy on their heads. They shall obtain joy and gladness; Sorrow and sighing shall flee away.

LORD MOLDED THEM—THROUGH FIRE

La 4:2  The precious sons of Zion, Valuable as fine gold, How they are regarded as clay pots, The work of the hands of the potter!

La 4:11  The LORD has fulfilled His fury, He has poured out His fierce anger. He kindled a fire in Zion, And it has devoured its foundations.(THE FIRE OF HIS WORDS WERE KINDLED, Jer 5: 14, 23: 29)

LORD GIVES HIS WORDS TO HIS PEOPLE TO PLANT HEAVENS AND TO BUILD EARTH—TO CREATE HIS HOLY PEOPLE OF ZION!

Isa 51:16  And I have put My words in your mouth; I have covered you with the shadow of My hand, That I may plant the heavens, Lay the foundations of the earth, And say to Zion, ‘You are My people.’"(THUS HE PREPARES HIS CONGREGATION, Jer 30; 20)---THEN GOD CREATES NEW HEAVENS AND NEW EARTH AND HIS PEOPLE---THAT MEANS HE HAS PREPARED A PEOPLE TO WORSHIP HIM ON Sabbaths AND new moons , Isa 66: 22,23!

Isa 66: 22  For as the new heavens and the new earth, which I will make, shall remain before Me, saith the LORD, so shall your seed and your name remain.

23  And it shall come to pass, that from one new moon to another, and from one sabbath to another, shall all flesh come to worship before Me, saith the LORD.

THOSE ARE ETERNAL THINGS LORD DOES FOR HIS PURPOSE!

That means Re 21: 2-3 had taken place!

RE 21: 1 - And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea.

2  And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

3  And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be with them, and be their God.

Isa 62: 5-- as the bridegroom rejoiceth over the bride, so shall thy God rejoice over thee.-- Isa 54:5  For your Maker is your husband, The LORD of hosts is His name; And your Redeemer is the Holy One of Israel; He is called the God of the whole earth.

GOD REQUIRES ZION TO PUT ON SRENGTH AND WEAR THE BEAUTIFUL GARMENTS HE IS PROVIDING THROUGH THE EUNUCHS OF Isa 56: 4-6---SO THAT HER BEAUTY REMAINS FOR EVER--

Isa 52:1  Awake, awake! Put on your strength, O Zion; Put on your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city! For the uncircumcised and the unclean Shall no longer come to you.

MAY THE ISRAEL OF RO 9: 4,6 BE BLESSED BY THEIR GOD, JESUS CHRIST, Amen.
