    Ps.102.12 "Zion"

    "When the Lord shall build up Zion, he shall appear in his glory."

    In the book of Isaiah we come across the foundation being laid. " Therefore thus saith the Lord God, Behold, I lay in Zion for a foundation a stone, a tried stone, a precious corner stone, a sure foundation: he that believeth shall not make haste."(Isa.28.16) The word 'therefore' refers to the lies behind which the nation of Israel has hid, " for we have made lies our refuge, and under falsehood have we hid ourselves:" Traditions of their fathers, the Law of Moses became lies for no other reason than their heart was not right. God knew them even before He called Abraham out.(Gen.12.1) God found a sure foundation as He prepared a body for His Son.

    The substance that Psalm 139 is about the body that is called Zion. This is being continuously fashioned. The Spirit gives us a cryptic line at the end of the outpouring of the Holy Spirit.Sermon of Simon Peter begins,"For the promise is unto you, and to your children, and to all that are afar off, even as many as the Lord our God shall call." The promise refers to the Covenant in seven days and who are those whom God shall call? Is it not in his Son? Those who are created in 'our image' and after our likeness and they all heard the word. "Then they that gladly received his word were baptized: and the same day there were added unto them about three thousand souls."(Actss 2.39-41) The same day refers to the days decreed for the Son.(Ps.2.7) Multiples of Three tells that it is a tag including from the beginning till the end time. We came across in the two witnesses mentioned in Rev.11 similarly represent those whom God called and sent to witness the testimony of Jesus Christ. Thom 3000 similarly signify the body of Christ. They are called to enter into the rest of God while God is preparing the body of Christ, which is in heaven. " And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned
