Meaning
Zion
Zion begins as a geographical designation but becomes richly theological in Scripture. It speaks of God's presence, worship, kingship, and the hope of restoration.
Why it matters
Zion gathers themes of worship and hope, helping readers see how place language becomes redemptive-symbolic language in Scripture.
