Our Call to the Mountain of His Presence, Glory, and Government
He Dwells in Zion
Our Call to the Mountain of His Presence, Glory, and Government
INTRODUCTION:
“Our call is to Zion… the beautiful mountain of His dwelling place.
He visits Jerusalem, but He dwells in Zion.”
Zion is not just a mountain — it is the heart of God’s eternal purpose. From the beginning, God never desired to visit His people temporarily; He longed to dwell among them, in them, and through them. While Jerusalem represents the religious system, the outer court, and the in-part realm of worship, Zion is the throne, the inner court, the glory realm where God rests in fullness.
Throughout the Old Testament, Zion was the place where David brought the Ark. It was where the glory remained — not in the outer temple courts but in a tent of divine intimacy and order. Zion is the city of the Living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and the place where the Lamb stands with His 144,000, having His Father’s name written in their foreheads.
Today, the Spirit is calling His Elect out of mixture, out of tradition, out of dead religion — and into the mountain of fire, into the realm of His dwelling. This book is a call to come up higher. To leave behind the earthly system and ascend the holy mountain where the King reigns. To step into Zion — not someday, but now.
Zion is not a location.
Zion is a people.
Zion is you.
It’s time for the sons of God to take their place. It’s time for the throne to be revealed. It’s time for the world to see the Lord dwelling in Zion.
Chapter 1: The Mountain of the Lord
God’s eternal pattern of dwelling in a people, not a place
“And it shall come to pass in the last days, that the mountain of the Lord’s house shall be established in the top of the mountains… and all nations shall flow unto it.” (Isaiah 2:2)
The Spirit is not calling us to religion. He’s calling us to a mountain — a realm of divine presence, elevation, and government. That mountain is not Mount Sinai, not Mount Moriah, not even natural Jerusalem. The true “mountain of the Lord” is Zion — the dwelling place of God among His people.
Zion is not just a metaphor.
It is the spiritual elevation where the throne of God is established in the hearts of His sons. The Pattern of God Is Always Dwelling
From Genesis to Revelation, the cry of God’s heart has always been the same:
“I will dwell in them, and walk in them; and I will be their God…” (2 Cor. 6:16)
In Eden, God walked with man. In Moses’ day, He dwelt in the tabernacle. In Solomon’s time, in a temple made with hands. But through Christ, God is building a people, not a place — a living, breathing mountain of fire and glory called Zion.
The Mountain Was Always the Goal
God called Moses up the mountain — not just to give laws, but to show a pattern. That pattern wasn’t just about worship or sacrifice — it was about a people transformed to host His presence.
But the people were afraid.
“And they said unto Moses, ‘You speak with us… but let not God speak with us, lest we die.’” (Ex. 20:19)
They wanted distance. But Moses went up.
And today, the Spirit is calling a remnant — a Moses company, a Zion people — to come up higher.
David and the Revelation of Zion
While Moses gave us the Law, it was David who captured the heart of God. David took the Ark — the very presence of God — and brought it to Zion, not to the temple, but to a tent on Mount Zion.
There was no veil.
No rituals.
Just presence.
Just glory.
Just worship flowing day and night.
This was a prophetic picture of the New Covenant Zion — a people of pure worship, unveiled faces, and direct communion with the King.
The Lord Is Not Looking for Buildings
He’s looking for a dwelling. And that dwelling is you.
“Ye are come unto Mount Zion, and unto the city of the living God… to the spirits of just men made perfect.” (Heb. 12:22–23)
Zion is not a destination — it is a revelation.
Zion is not where we’re going — it’s who we’re becoming.
You are not called to climb a mountain of stone.
You are called to become the mountain where God dwells.
The Mountain Is Rising
Isaiah prophesied that the mountain of the Lord’s house would be established above all others — and the nations would flow into it. That’s not about geography — it’s about spiritual government.
God is raising a people:
Who walk in glory
Who live in communion
Who carry the throne within
Who speak with authority, because they dwell in Zion
The mountain of the Lord is not in the Middle East.
It’s rising in the Spirit.
It’s rising in the Elect.
It’s rising in you. Chapter 2: He Visits Jerusalem, But He Dwells in Zion
Religion receives a visitation — but Zion becomes a habitation “For the Lord hath chosen Zion; He hath desired it for His habitation.” (Psalm 132:13)
There is a deep and holy distinction that runs throughout all of Scripture — one that separates those who walk in religious tradition from those who carry the fullness of God’s glory:
God visits Jerusalem.
But He dwells in Zion.
This is more than geography. It’s spiritual reality.
Jerusalem represents the natural, visible, and religious realm — the system that often rejects the prophets, kills the truth, and glorifies outward form over inward substance.
Zion represents the heavenly, invisible, and governmental realm — the company of sons in whom God tabernacles and through whom He rules.
Jerusalem — The Place of Visitation
Jerusalem was the center of worship, the home of the temple, and the city where Jesus Himself walked. But it was also the place where:
Prophets were stoned
Truth was resisted
The Son of God was crucified
“O Jerusalem, Jerusalem… how often would I have gathered thy children… and ye would not!” (Matt. 23:37)
God visited her — again and again.
But she would not receive Him as He truly was.
Visitation happens where people seek blessing without surrender.
Where tradition is maintained, but transformation is resisted.
Where the Spirit may come… but not stay. Zion — The Place of Habitation
“This is My rest forever: here will I dwell; for I have desired it.” (Psalm 132:14)
Zion is the place where God stays.
It is the mountain of divine desire, where the Lord doesn’t simply show up — He rests.
He rests in:
A people of worship
A people of Spirit
A people of brokenness and revelation
A people prepared to govern with the Lamb
Zion is not about performance. It’s about presence.
God doesn’t dwell in what looks good — He dwells in what’s been formed in fire.
Visitation Is Seasonal — Habitation Is Eternal
The Church has known many visitations:
The revivals of the past
The waves of refreshing
The seasons of power
But a visitation comes and goes.
Zion is a habitation — a people who carry His presence continually.
“They shall be Mine, saith the Lord… and I will spare them as a man spareth his own son that serveth him.” (Malachi 3:17)
Zion is not where God visits to touch us.
Zion is where God dwells to rule through us.
The Transition From Jerusalem to Zion
Just as Jesus transitioned from the temple to the cross, so must we transition from:
Religion to reality
Performance to presence
Visitation to habitation
Jerusalem to Zion
Jerusalem will always reject the fullness — but Zion will always receive the King.
This is why the Lamb is not standing in Jerusalem in Revelation 14…
He is standing on Mount Zion, with His 144,000 — the firstfruits who have become His dwelling. The Call Today
Brother, sister — you were not called for a spiritual weekend visit.
You were called to become the throne room of the Living God.
You are not a temple made with hands.
You are Zion, chosen and desired.
You are the dwelling He delights in.
He visits Jerusalem.
But He dwells in Zion.
And Zion is rising in you. Chapter 3: Zion Is Not a Hill — It’s a People
From natural mountain to spiritual government
“But ye are come unto Mount Zion… to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem… to the spirits of just men made perfect.”
— Hebrews 12:22–23
Zion is not a place on a map.
It’s not a hill in the Middle East.
It’s not a political capital, a denomination, or a historical relic.
Zion is a people.
A called-out company.
A holy remnant.
A governmental body in whom Christ is fully formed and fully enthroned. The Transition From Location to Incarnation
In the Old Covenant, Zion was a literal mountain in Jerusalem — the place David brought the Ark, the center of worship before the temple was built.
But in the New Covenant, the natural gives way to the spiritual.
God is no longer dwelling in tents or temples — He is dwelling in people.
“Know ye not that ye are the temple of God, and that the Spirit of God dwelleth in you?” (1 Cor. 3:16)
Zion has moved — not geographically, but dimensionally.
Zion is no longer a mountain we go to.
It is a mountain rising within the Elect. Zion Is a People Who Reign
The Book of Revelation reveals a Lamb standing on Mount Zion — but He is not alone.
“And I looked, and lo, a Lamb stood on Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000, having His Father’s name written in their foreheads.” (Rev. 14:1)
This company is not defined by number — but by nature.
They are:
Firstfruits
Overcomers
Spirit-born sons
The throne people
They follow the Lamb wherever He goes because they are the Lamb’s body.
Zion is the manifestation of the Lamb through a many-membered man. The People of Zion Carry His Name
They are marked — not by religion, not by tradition, but by identity.
The Father’s name is in their foreheads, meaning:
They walk in His nature
They speak from His mind
They live by His Spirit
They carry divine authority
Zion is not a gathering of gifted people — it is a governmental company who rule through righteousness and minister from the throne. Zion Carries the Glory
“Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.” (Psalm 50:2)
God is not shining from a pulpit.
He is not shining from a mountain in Palestine.
He is shining out of a people — a radiant company of sons and daughters who have been formed in His image.
Zion is not just the place where God dwells…
Zion is the place through which God is revealed.
You Are Zion
The old covenant had a physical priesthood on a physical mountain.
But the new covenant reveals a spiritual priesthood, standing on the holy mountain within.
You are not climbing toward Zion.
You are becoming Zion —
a spiritual government formed by grace, ruled by the Lamb, and filled with fire.
Zion is not a hill.
Zion is a people.
And the nations shall flow to you. (Isaiah 2:2) Chapter 4: A City Set on a Hill Cannot Be Hidden
Zion as the visible manifestation of divine life in the earth
“You are the light of the world. A city that is set on a hill cannot be hidden.”
— Matthew 5:14
Jesus wasn’t speaking of Jerusalem.
He wasn’t pointing toward Rome.
He wasn’t referring to an earthly kingdom or natural city.
He was prophesying of Zion — the corporate body of Christ, the sons and daughters of light, the manifested city of God in the earth.
Zion is not only God’s dwelling place —
Zion is God’s demonstration place. Zion Is Set — By the Spirit
“I have set My King upon My holy hill of Zion.” (Psalm 2:6)
Zion is not positioned by men — it is established by God.
It is not promoted through marketing or lifted through hype — it is revealed by the Spirit.
And once Zion is set…
it cannot be hidden.
You don’t need to promote the mountain — the glory speaks for itself. The City of Light
Jesus called us “a city set on a hill.”
That’s not a compliment — it’s a calling.
You are:
A radiant dwelling
A beacon of divine order
A mountain of revelation in a world of confusion
The world isn’t waiting for a better church service…
It’s waiting for Zion to be revealed. Zion Cannot Be Hidden
Zion shines:
In the midst of darkness
In the collapse of systems
In the silence of religion
In the confusion of the nations
Where fear shouts — Zion whispers with fire.
Where the Beast rages — Zion stands in rest.
Where Babylon falls — Zion rises.
You are the fulfillment of Isaiah’s vision:
“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.” (Isaiah 60:1) Zion Is the New Jerusalem Revealed
The “city on a hill” is not the old order.
It is the heavenly Jerusalem, the bride, the Lamb’s wife — a people in whom God dwells and through whom God governs.
“The nations shall walk in the light of it…” (Rev. 21:24)
Zion is not hidden behind temple veils.
Zion is unveiled in the lives of sons. Let Zion Shine
Now is the time to be revealed.
Not to be seen by man — but to let Christ be seen in you.
You were not saved to survive.
You were called to shine.
“You are the light of the world. A city set on a hill cannot be hidden.”
Because Zion cannot be hidden. Chapter 5: The Throne in the Midst of Zion
From visitation to government — Christ enthroned in His sons “Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion… the city of the great King.”
— Psalm 48:2
Zion is not just a mountain of glory — it is a mountain of government.
At the very center of Zion is not just beauty…
Not just worship…
Not just presence…
But a throne.
Zion is the place where Christ reigns — not over a crowd, but within a company.
Not from a building, but from within the sons of God. The Seat of His Authority
The throne represents the seat of divine authority.
Wherever the throne is:
Judgment proceeds
Mercy flows
Order is established
Glory is administered
Zion is the people in whom that throne is established — those who have submitted to His fire and yielded to His government.
“To him that overcometh will I grant to sit with Me in My throne…” (Rev. 3:21)
Not beside it.
Not near it.
In it. The Government Shall Be Upon His Shoulders
“Unto us a Son is given… and the government shall be upon His shoulder.” (Isaiah 9:6)
The shoulder speaks of body connection — not just headship, but co-reigning.
Christ, the Head, cannot reign alone.
The body must rise with Him — bone of His bone, flesh of His flesh, spirit of His Spirit.
Zion is that governmental body:
Born of fire
Trained in wilderness
Crowned in Sonship
Seated in heavenly places The Lamb Reigns From Zion
“Then the Lord shall reign in Mount Zion, and in Jerusalem, and before His ancients gloriously.” (Isaiah 24:23)
Notice the order:
He reigns in Zion (His Elect)
Then in Jerusalem (the broader people)
And before His ancients (the elders of wisdom)
Zion is not ruled — Zion rules.
The Lamb does not reign from religion — He reigns from Zion’s throne within the hearts of the overcomers. Zion Is the Seat of Kingdom Order
The throne of God is not chaotic.
It is not emotional hype.
It is not subject to man’s will or manipulation.
The throne brings:
Judgment — setting all things right
Justice — executing the righteousness of the King
Peace — flowing from divine government
Glory — because the King is present
Zion is the headquarters of the Kingdom — not in geography, but in the Spirit. The Throne Is Within You
“The Kingdom of God is within you.” (Luke 17:21)
And if the Kingdom is within, so is the throne.
And if the throne is within, so must the King sit down.
This is not just about ruling in the age to come —
It is about ruling now, in the power of an endless life.
The Elect are not waiting for a future coronation.
They are rising now, being seated now, reigning now — in Christ.
The throne is in Zion.
Zion is in you.
And the King is rising in His government of sons. Chapter 6: The Sound of Zion — A Trumpet, Not an Echo
The prophetic voice of a people who speak from the throne “Blow ye the trumpet in Zion, and sound an alarm in my holy mountain…”
— Joel 2:1
Zion doesn’t repeat what religion says.
Zion doesn’t echo doctrines of men.
Zion doesn’t parrot powerless sermons.
Zion sounds the trumpet.
Zion speaks with fire.
Zion releases the voice of the throne.
When God wants to awaken His people, He doesn’t use an echo.
He uses a trumpet — clear, piercing, authoritative.
And that trumpet sounds from Zion. The Voice of the Lord Comes From Zion
“The Lord also shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem…” (Joel 3:16)
The voice does not come from seminaries.
It does not come from religious empires.
It comes from a holy people, a mountain company, a people set apart who have stood in the counsel of the Lord.
Zion is that people —
Not trained by man, but forged in fire.
Not educated in religion, but formed by revelation. Zion Speaks From Experience, Not Theory
Zion doesn’t talk about the throne —
Zion speaks from the throne.
These are the ones who have:
Walked through the valley
Been crushed in the winepress
Carried their cross
And emerged with the sound of the Lamb’s voice in their mouth
They don’t just teach Kingdom — they speak as the Kingdom.
A Clear Sound in the Earth
“If the trumpet give an uncertain sound, who shall prepare himself to the battle?” (1 Cor. 14:8)
The Church today is full of uncertain sounds:
Mixture
Confusion
Legalism
Carnal prophecy
Doctrines of fear
But Zion is sounding a pure word.
A word that cuts through the fog.
A word that pierces the darkness.
A word that aligns creation with heaven.
Zion speaks as the voice of the Son, and creation responds.
The Trumpet People
Zion is a people who don’t need permission to speak —
They’ve been commissioned by the King.
They do not echo:
Old covenant shadows
Doctrines of death
Rapture escapism
Religious hype
They sound the trumpet of:
Life
Immortality
Fullness
Sonship
Kingdom now
“Cry aloud, spare not, lift up thy voice like a trumpet…” (Isaiah 58:1)
Zion is the voice crying in the wilderness, preparing the way for the manifestation of the Lord in His people.
Zion is not silent.
Zion is not confused.
Zion sounds like the King. Chapter 7: They Shall Appear in Zion Before God
The ascending of the sons into unveiled glory and face-to-face communion “Every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.”
— Psalm 84:7
Zion is not just a destination.
It is a realm of appearing.
There is something sacred about this verse — it speaks not just of gathering to Zion, but of appearing in Zion — before God Himself.
This is not religion.
This is not tradition.
This is the face-to-face appearing of a mature people before the throne — a people so transformed, so consecrated, so united with Christ, that they reflect His glory as mirrors of His nature. From Strength to Strength
“They go from strength to strength, every one of them in Zion appeareth before God.” (Psalm 84:7)
Zion is a realm of growth.
It’s not built overnight.
It’s not entered by title or talent.
Those who appear in Zion:
Walk through suffering
Overcome in secret
Wait in silence
Worship in fire
Mature in stillness
They go from strength to strength until they are fit to stand before the Almighty — not in fear, but in union. The Appearing Is Corporate
The psalm doesn’t say “some of them appear”…
It says, “Every one of them in Zion appears before God.”
Zion is not just about personal encounters — it is a corporate appearing.
This is the company of:
The overcomers
The sons of God
The firstfruits
The bride
The manchild
These are those who follow the Lamb wherever He goes, and stand in His presence unveiled. Appearing Before God Is About Government
To appear before God in Zion is to:
Minister in His presence
Receive Kingdom strategies
Speak from heavenly places
Release divine decrees into the earth
You don’t just appear before God to soak in glory.
You appear before Him to administer His government.
“And I looked, and behold, a Lamb stood on Mount Zion, and with Him 144,000…” (Rev. 14:1)
They don’t come for goosebumps.
They come to reign with the Lamb. This Is Tabernacles
The feast of Tabernacles is the time of appearing.
It’s not just visitation — it’s indwelling.
It’s not just rain — it’s reign.
In Zion, you don’t just experience the presence —
You are transfigured by it.
Zion is the throne room in the Spirit.
And those who appear there are not visitors —
they are citizens of glory. Chapter 8: The Lord Loves the Gates of Zion
Where divine entrance, government, and glory converge “The Lord loveth the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.”
— Psalm 87:2
The Lord doesn’t love everything equally.
He blessed the dwellings of Jacob — but He loves the gates of Zion.
Why?
Because Zion is His dwelling.
Zion is where His throne sits.
Zion is where glory governs, not just visits.
What Are the Gates?
Gates represent:
Access
Entrance
Authority
Transition
In Scripture, gates are where:
Kings sat to rule (Ruth 4:1)
Prophets spoke (Jer. 17:19)
Justice was administered (Prov. 22:22)
Elders gathered (Prov. 31:23)
Zion’s gates are not made of stone — they are people through whom the Lord enters into creation.
“Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lifted up, ye everlasting doors; and the King of glory shall come in.” (Psalm 24:7)
You are those gates. The Lord Enters Through His People
He doesn’t just come to us — He flows through us.
He reigns in Zion, but He moves through the gates — through you.
Every time:
Truth is declared
Life is released
Judgment is executed in mercy
Glory is revealed
…the King of Glory comes in again — through His gates.
Why the Lord Loves the Gates
He loves the gates because:
They are surrendered
They are aligned
They are open
They administer His purpose in the earth
He does not enter through rebellion.
He does not rule through flesh.
He reigns through the gates of Zion — the sons of God. The Gates of Zion Are Overcomers
These gates have:
Endured chastening
Been purified by fire
Learned His voice
Yielded to His hand
Been conformed to His image
Now, they are pillars in the temple (Rev. 3:12)
They stand as the eternal entryways of His Kingdom.
Zion is His house.
The gates are His ministers.
And you, beloved, are both. Chapter 9: Out of Zion, the Perfection of Beauty, God Has Shined
When the Lamb shines through a mature company in glory “Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God hath shined.”
— Psalm 50:2
Zion is not just a place where God shines on us —
Zion is the place where God shines through us.
This is the unveiling of God in man — the full expression of divine life shining out from a people who have been made one with the Lamb.
The world is not waiting for a new religion.
It is waiting for the shining of God out of Zion — a people so formed in Christ, so full of His glory, that they radiate the perfection of beauty.
Zion Is the Mirror of Divine Beauty
God defines His beauty through Zion — not through outward buildings, but through inward transformation.
Zion is:
Washed in the Word
Refined in the fire
Clothed in the garments of praise
Crowned with the authority of the Lamb
When God wants to show the world what He looks like —
He points to Zion, His Elect. The Shining Comes After the Fire
The gold does not shine until it is melted.
The diamond does not sparkle until it is cut.
The lamp does not burn until it is filled and lit.
Those in Zion have:
Walked through suffering
Embraced the dealings of God
Lost their identity in the flesh
Found their beauty in the face of Jesus
Now, He shines out of them — as living flames of Kingdom light.
“Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon thee.” (Isaiah 60:1)
God’s Glory Is Not Just in Heaven
Zion proves that God’s glory is not reserved for the heavens.
It is revealed in a people.
When God shines out of Zion:
The world sees righteousness
Creation feels liberty
Darkness flees
The nations are drawn to light
This is not just a revival — it is the manifestation of the sons of God. Zion Becomes the Standard of Beauty
Religion sets standards of behavior.
Zion sets a standard of glory.
God has always desired to be visible. Not just known by faith, but seen in expression.
That expression is Christ in you, the hope of glory (Col. 1:27).
“Out of Zion, the perfection of beauty, God has shined…”
Let it be said of us.
Let it be said of you. Chapter 10: This Is Zion — The Generation of Them That Seek Him
A people whose hearts are altars, whose lives are the mountain He dwells in “This is the generation of them that seek Him, that seek Thy face, O Jacob. Selah.”
— Psalm 24:6
Zion is not merely a destination on a map.
Zion is a generation.
Zion is a people.
Zion is the company of those who seek His face — not His hand, not His blessings, not His benefits… but His face.
This is not a casual people.
This is a called company —
A generation of seekers, marked by hunger, fire, and surrender. They Seek Not a Place — But a Person
“Ye are come unto Mount Zion… and to Jesus…” (Heb. 12:22, 24)
This generation doesn’t seek a better ministry.
They seek a deeper unveiling of the Lamb.
They don’t follow trends.
They follow the Lamb wherever He goes (Rev. 14:4).
They seek:
His nature
His voice
His heart
His indwelling glory
They are not content to hear about Him — they want to become Him. A Generation Marked by the Throne
Zion is the seat of His authority, and this generation has been given the call to administer His reign.
This is:
The company of overcomers
The ones who sit with Him on His throne (Rev. 3:21)
The sons of God made manifest
The bride without spot or wrinkle
The manchild caught up to God and to His throne
Zion is not just something we are drawn to —
It is what we become. Their Lives Are Altars
This generation has built no physical temple.
They are the temple.
They do not bring lambs to sacrifice — they offer themselves.
“Present your bodies a living sacrifice…” (Rom. 12:1)
Their lives are:
Laid down
Set apart
Ruled by the Spirit
Marked by divine order
They are the holy mountain of the Lord. Zion Is Rising — In You
This book is not a history lesson.
It is a prophetic call.
You are part of the generation that:
Ascends the hill of the Lord
Stands in the holy place
Receives the blessing from the God of salvation
Becomes the gates through which the King of Glory enters
This is Zion.
This is you.
This is now. Final Declaration “Arise and shine, for your light is come, and the glory of the Lord is risen upon you…” (Isaiah 60:1)
Let the sound of Zion go forth.
Let the seekers awaken.
Let the throne be revealed in a people.
Let the Lord dwell in His mountain — forever.
