Temple Mount (Zion) from a bird's-eye view.
1 The Song of the Ascension. David. He that trusteth in the Lord, as mount Zion, shall not be moved: he abideth forever.
2 Mountains around Jerusalem, and Lord around His people from now on and forever.
(Ps.124:1.2) In this psalm there is a comparison of the Gore of Jerusalem with the Lord, and Jerusalem with people, God's people.
And we see that the city was destroyed more than once, but the mountains stood and stand, they are unshakable, like the Lord. And even the temple itself was destroyed, as Jesus and said, but Mount Zion stands. This raises the importance of the mountain itself. Jerusalem is the work of men, and the mountain is the work of God. Therefore, uncut stones were used on the altar, that is, stones touched by God, but not touched by man.
The figure shows the mountain itself, which was later aligned with King Herod the Great.
Zionism
This is the Jewish national movement, the goal is to assemble the Jewish people in Eretz-Israel (on the land of Israel).That is, this movement is for the rebirth of the nation. As we know, it was successful and today Israel was rebuilt, which took place as a state. Well, that's all we know. But what is the connection here with Zion? What is the symbolism of Zion? After all, you could call Israel, since there was no country. It was possible to use its name.
