"Out Of Zion"



"Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty,
God has shined."
(Psalm 50:2)

"Gather my saints together unto me; those that have
made a covenant with me by sacrifice."
(Psalm 50:5)



Zion is like a light in the night, a  beautiful Bride adorned for her husband, and, indeed, she is  ...  she is the Church.  We have come to the time when Zion shines, The New Church Order: a restoration of the tabernacle of David, a gathering in unity of the Church of God worldwide, a consecration of the saints of God, a propagation of Spirit and Truth in every Nation, kindred, and tongue, and it all comes "Out Of Zion."


In 2 Chronicles 29:30, we find that Hezekiah commanded the Levites "to sing the words of David and of Asaph the seer."  As it is stated so aptly in Biblestudytools.com, "The great sun of David has a satellite in the moon of Asaph."  Isn't that beautiful?  It rather describes the Church today, which is symbolic of our real moon.  The Church today must be front and center stage.  Why?  Time is short; judgment is coming; the last leg of the journey is in the hands of the Saints; the doctrine of Truth, the gospel of the Lord Jesus Christ, the sanctified and holy life of the called out, the rendering of Holy worship before the Lion of Judah, and the harvest of the world are the fundamentals of the New Church Order.




Everything is in the hands of ZION, the Church of the living God.  Worship of the Creator must compete in this day and time with a fast-moving and highly technological age, yet we must remember we are as the levites and priests, a holy generation, a chosen people.  Our sacrifice of praise must be holy and acceptable to the One in whom we live and move, and have our being, the omnipotent One, Jesus Christ our Lord.  The mighty holy principles on which God will judge the earth, and will determine the final destiny of mankind, proceed out of Zion.     

"It is beautiful in its loftiness, the joy of the whole earth. Like the utmost heights
of Zaphon is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King."
(Psalm 48:2)

The very center of the world is Jerusalem; everything proceeds from and is gauged as directional "from" mighty Jerusalem.  In the Book of Ezekiel 5:5, the "weeping" Prophet Jeremiah quotes God as saying, "This is Jerusalem; I have set her at the center of the nations."  The literal Hebrew reads, "the navel of the world."  Israel is the cornerstone of endtime Bible prophecy.  There are four prophecies in particular which identify our day as the time of the season of the Lord's return:

*1.  The worldwide regathering of the Jewish people to their homeland
which started in the 1890's and continues to this day, 
               *2.  The re-establishment of the Jewish state which occurred on May 14th, 1948, 
        *3.  The re-occupation of Jerusalem which happened on June 7th, 1967, and
           *4.  The prophecy being fulfilled right now that in the end times all the nations
                            of the world will come together against Israel over the issue of who
 will control Jerusalem.

And:
    *The resurrection of the old Roman Empire in the form of the European Union,
something the prophet Daniel predicted over 2,500 years ago, and
                                  *The rapidly growing apostasy in the Church which the Apostle Paul
predicted would happen in the end times.

What must we do?  Get in Zion!  Get in the Church!  The Church will be preserved; the Church will escape the judgment; the Church provides a safe haven of salvation by the blood of Jesus Christ shed on the cross, the infilling of God's Spirit, the Holy Ghost, baptism in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ, direction, holiness unto God, and the Church is the Bride of Christ.  Her days are numbered with glory, wonder, miracles and signs; her garments are a wardrobe of Nations, kindreds, and tongues; her strength is her faith and trust in her Groom, Jesus Christ, the King of Kings and the Lord of Lords.  The precious blood of the Lord Jesus Christ bought our escape from the great tribulation.  Our tribulation is now; the troubles and trials we endure now, with dignity and faith, are the sacrifice for the harvest of the world.  



We will sing the praise of the Lord; Zion will shine with brightness and splendor throughout the world, and the world will not be able to resist, so great will be the beauty of ZION!  Jerusalem's grafted in one will spread the good news to the North, South, East and West until the trumpet sounds, and Zion will rise to meet the Lord in the air, then so shall we ever be with the Lord.  Finally, the Lion of Judah will return with His saints of Zion following, and He will set His feet upon the Mount of Olives and Jerusalem will be His domain once again.  Hallelujah! 



Everything you're looking for; all of your answers; the peace that passes all understanding; the Holy Ghost and fire, being buried with Him in baptism in the name of Jesus Christ  ...  all of it issues from the perfection of beauty from the Holy One of Israel, from the soon coming King, Jesus Christ, who rules "Out Of Zion."
