ZION. A name for one of the hills of Jerusalem, the capitol of Israel. Zion means "citadel, monument, way mark" (Strong). It was the site first conquered by King David (2 Sa. 5:7; 1 Ch. 11:5). Often the word Zion refers to the entire city of Jerusalem (Ps. 48:2; 65:1; 102:21; Is. 2:3; 8:18). "Zion" also refers to the heavenly Jerusalem (He. 12:22). The O.T. prophecies of blessing upon Zion are obviously intended to mean earthly Jerusalem (Is. 51:3; 52:12). Heavenly Jerusalem always has been blessed and needs no restoration!
