Sion isn't Zion. Above and Beyond Zion/Sion Twain

His angel plays the last trump it

Sion is not Zion. The Zion/Sion Allegory.

   Sion is mount Hermon: Deuteronomy 4:48, having three summits.
    Zion is the city of David:  2Samuel 5:7; So then Sion is not Zion.
    Sion is higher: dew of Hermon descends upon Zion: Psalms 133:3.
    Zion occurs 152 times in Old Testament, 0 times in New Testament.
    Sion occurs 2 times in Old Testament, 7 times in the New Testament.
    A Deliverer comes out of Sion, which is called the heavenly Jerusalem.
    Yet there is a stumblingstone laid in Sion we can stumble on and fall.
    So we should go on from Zion/Sion twain to One is above and beyond.

Sion isn't Zion. Above and Beyond Zion/Sion Twain

Sion isn't Zion: Hermon isn't City of David: Mt Sion isn't Mt Sinai: Grace isn't Law
Sion is not Zion in the Holy Bible (the Seventh Bible, commonly called the KJV). Mount Sion is Hermon: Deuteronomy 4:48. Zion is the city of David: 2Samuel 5:7. Sion (3 summit Hermon) is notably higher than Zion (city of David): Psalms 133:3. Which things are allegoric mystery to solve. So Sion should not be replaced with Zion in modern (per)versions of the Bible. Zion is not even mentioned in the New Testament (KJV); But in the Old Testament the law comes out of Zion. Both a stumblingstone (stumblingblock: snare, trap) and a rock of offence (by which many get off-ended) are laid in Sion (is not Zion). Sion is sevenfold in Hebrews 12's comparison of sevenfold Mount Sinai vs sevenfold Mount Sion, which are allegorically compared as "not come" and "come", as if comparing law and grace in the non eternal realm of twain is not one (God). Yet it is ye (do err) who are come to Sion, which is called heavenly Jerusalem, city of the Living God. In the allegory of Zion/Sion, such Left/Right things are on high, and we are Pauline exhorted to mind not high things, be not highminded x2, since wickedness occurs in "high" places (plural), and "highminded" is notably listed among "unholy" things to turn away from in 2Timothy 3.

Translators of the Bible mention Sion in their Epistle Dedicatory;
Where they wish Grace --> Mercy --> Peace unto all through J-->C.
For it is written Christ (is the end of the law) is our peace, not divided.
But if false/true Christs arise, and twain can result in elect being deceived,
then perhaps what is best for all is to be reconciled through J-->C-->to God.
For it is also written that only the greatest of great-->greater-->greatest never fails.
So also, of these 3: faith --> hope --> charity, charity is put on above forgiving one another.
Above and Beyond the Twain of Zion/Sion: higher than the heavens: is the Oneness of God
So what this web page is about is leaving the principles (plural) of Zion/Sion (Law/Grace) twain, to go on to what's "higher" than the twain, as if leaving non eternal Good/Better division to go on to eternal unity of what's Best for all above and beyond such non eternal twain is as Good/Better for some, not all. Such can be likened to leaving both Broad/Narrow ways (double minded = unstable) to go on unto the more excellent way, as leaving the Good/Better twain for Best; Which is to say leave the twain (them vs them) to go on unto the oneness (us-ward) above and beyond Zion/Sion. For even when we're Grace of Law/Grace, Sion of Zion/Sion, Right of Left/Right sides, it is still division and not peace. True Grace, Pure Grace, Pure Religion, Godly Peace above the twain, is not for/against anyone nor partial to some. God's pure grace above the grace of law/grace on high does not make sides for war, nor take any side in a sides war, since all sides wars have side effects. So what we're getting at is the third way of the third day, is what's best for all, not some; And such third way: a more excellent way, is neither broad nor narrow minded: not double minded.
Out of Zion shall go forth the law: Isaiah 2:3; Micah 4:2;
But the law is what "we are delivered from": Romans 7:6,
And notably it's by the Deliverer which comes out of Sion.
Yet there is still a stumblingstone laid in Sion to stumlbe on.
So then, we all need to go above and beyond Sion of Zion/Sion.
For Sion of the twain realm of Zion/Sion is potentially corruptible.
Even firmly right standing in Sion can still be to "stand in jeopardy".
Only above & beyond twain law/grace principles is "incorruptible" oneness.
So we all must be born again, not of corruptible seed, but of "incorruptible".

Sion occurs in both OT and NT. Zion does not occur in NT.
Zion (the city of David) is done away in the New Testament, since therein it flat out tells us David is not ascended, and notably not to heavens (plural). As for two Sons Jesus, he is ascended to plural heavens, but Jesus is seen standing (not seated) on the right hand of God (Majesty on high) by Stephen, who gets both cast out and stoned to death when seeing such. Saul, who becomes Paul (writes more of the New Testament than all six other writers combined), was at this event, and consented to Stephen being stoned (lawed) to death for seeing Jesus (Son of Man) standing at the right hand of God. Son of Man should repent: Numbers 23:19. Son of man is a term for prophets, are servants, which know not what their master doeth, and differ nothing from know not children. Forgive them, for they "know not". Know nots (servants, children, prophets, zioinists, sionists) are notably called them (male and female Adam: as in Adam all die: as in them all die, perish the thought), and they constantly require forgiveness (cover up), since they know not what they say ("Peace and safety" in law) and do (add law worketh wrath to grace is sufficient) affects everyone add versely: a little leaven leaveneth the whole lump, and there is no respect of persons with God. So because of them, what such know nots say and do, we are all grounded, and many also become groundead, until we all are one get to the end written, which has no law at all, and thereby no sin at all, and thereby no need for any sacrifice or forgiveness at all. Mean while, a rock of offence seems to off-end many. I would that all stay focused on the end that is already written, which is not the grace of law/grace twain, but the pure grace of God above that is void of all law law. Such pure grace is also mercy that is void of all sacrifices, and peace that is void of all divisions.
Perhaps to lay hold on "eternal life", of "eternal salvation",
we also need to let go of both things which are non eternal,
such as both law/grace of both Zion/Sion, which is division.
Leave the division of twain, for the oneness of God above.
For "under" grace is not the same as established "with" grace.
It is a good (God) thing that the heart be established "with" grace.
A stumblingstone and rock of offence are laid in Sion.
No doubt Mount Sion is better than Mount Sinai, when comparing such OT Law vs NT Law; For the blood of Jesus speaketh "better" things than Abel (Abel's blood spoke of vengeance), such as Father, forgive them, for they know not what they do. However, what's best of good better best, and for all (not some only), is to put on charity (never fails) above forgiving one another. For there is nothing to even forgive in charity "thinketh no evil", is why "charity never faileth" to forgive.
The POINT being: of all said herein about such before/after x2 is:
Ye/We are "not under the law", but "under grace"... x2, on high;
Yet, when established "with" grace above, it's not "under" grace.
Above and Beyond under-"standing", is seated with Christ above.

The Grace of J-->C is neither under nor standing, but seated above.
Throne of Grace is not right of left/right things in "heavens" on high.
"The throne of grace" is above left/right sides wars have side effects.
For even when you're right of law/grace, it is still division, not peace.
For "Jesus" notably brought "division", and not peace: Luke 12:51;
And "Christ" is "our peace", which is not the peace of God unto all.
God is not [author] of confusion (unrest), but [is author] of peace (rest).
His Grace neither makes sides to have war, nor takes either side of it.
The God of all grace neither tempts (laws) nor can be tempted (lawed).
That God in Christ hath commited unto us the word of reconciliation.
Reconciled, in 2Cor 5, is neither to Jesus nor to Christ, but "to God".
(For 2 Sons Jesus brought division, not peace; And false Christs arise)
God isn't a man that he should lie (law), nor Son of man should repent.
So, let God be true, and every man (including Jesus and Christ) a liar.

Perhaps we should all reconsider the better of sacrifices,
and "go on" unto "merciful" is mercy void of all sacrifices;
as if going on from better of two ways to a more excellent way.

The GRACE of our Lord Jesus --> Christ, [be/is] with you all. Amen.
