What is the significance of Mount Zion in the bible? Where can I find it? Is it the new heavenly Jeruselem?
 
Hi Wav__,

Mount Zion or Sion is the hill in Jerusalem on which the temple was built. It is not exactly what is called Mount Zion today. See

bibleplaces.com/mtzion.htm

In the Bible Mount Zion is therefore the place where God “lives”, the center of God’s kingdom present and to come, and therefore the symbol of the Church,as well as of the New Jerusalem of which Revelation speaks.

In the liturgy of Corpus Christi, there is a hymn that starts with the words “Lauda Sion Salvatorem” (O Zion praise your Savior), in which “Sion” is used for the Church.
