The Gates Of Zion - Psalm 87

Psalm 87 ESV
Glorious Things of You Are Spoken
A Psalm of the Sons of Korah. A Song.
On the holy mount stands the city he founded;
the Lord loves the gates of Zion
more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.
Glorious things of you are spoken,
O city of God.
Selah
Among those who know me I mention Rahab and Babylon;
behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush —
“This one was born there,” they say.
And of Zion it shall be said,
“This one and that one were born in her”;
for the Most High himself will establish her.
The Lord records as he registers the peoples,
“This one was born there.”
Selah
Singers and dancers alike say,
“All my springs are in you.”

The foundation of the New Jerusalem rests on the apostles, the Church. The Church is referred to as the Bride of Christ. We are reborn into Zion. She is beloved before the nations. All nations will come to the mountain of The Lord. She shall be the tree that yields its fruit through out the year and its leaves will be for the healing of the nations.
