Where is Mount Zion?
The Glorious Company
"For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest," (Heb 12:18 NKJV)
"and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore." (Heb 12:19 NKJV)
"(For they could not endure what was commanded: "And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow."" (Heb 12:20 NKJV)
"And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, "I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.")" (Heb 12:21 NKJV)
"But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels," (Heb 12:22 NKJV)
"to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect," (Heb 12:23 NKJV)
"to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel." (Heb 12:24 NKJV)
Hear the Heavenly Voice
"See that you do not refuse Him who speaks. For if they did not escape who refused Him who spoke on earth, much more shall we not escape if we turn away from Him who speaks from heaven," (Heb 12:25 NKJV)
"whose voice then shook the earth; but now He has promised, saying, "Yet once more I shake not only the earth, but also heaven."" (Heb 12:26 NKJV)
"Now this, "Yet once more," indicates the removal of those things that are being shaken, as of things that are made, that the things which cannot be shaken may remain." (Heb 12:27 NKJV)
"Therefore, since we are receiving a kingdom which cannot be shaken, let us have grace, by which we may serve God acceptably with reverence and godly fear." (Heb 12:28 NKJV)
"For our God is a consuming fire." (Heb 12:29 NKJV)
