Zion

Is Zion a place, like a hill or a city?
Is it a people?
Unless one follows the way of their fathers, of Abraham and Shem, which is the righteous way of the LORD GOD of creation according to the order of Melchisedec they are not the true sons, nor the nation of their claimed Father, nor can they be the true sons of Israel.
If they follow the way of Abimelech, Nimrod or the Fathers of the earth their father is the adversary of God, i.e. Satan.[3]
They would not be heirs of the promise of the LORD no matter what the called themselves. They cannot have two fathers, nor serve two master, nor eat the dainties of other gods nor the rulers who serve those gods.
Zion Is often defined as a location or alternate name for Jerusalem.
Isaiah 62 tells us in verse 4 that Israel will not go the way of Destruction: but thou shalt be called Hephzibah(בָ֔הּ)[4] "my delight", which is a name for Jerusalem. This is only true if the people as individuals will follow the way of righteousness in peace in "spirit and truth".
It goes on to say "and thy land Beulah(בְּעוּלָ֑ה)"[5] which has to do with agreements marrying, dominion, covenants should be with the LORD and not the gods of the world that men create for themselves through civil law.
It goes on to say "for the LORD delighteth in thee, and thy land shall be married(תִּבָּעֵֽל׃)"[5], shall be joined by agreement to the man and not merely a legal title.
What is JeruSalem?
What is not Zion?
What is not Jerusalem?
What is not Israel?
What is not Zion is like Nimrod and the Abimelechs of the world that men make for themselves. This rulers are often following the ways of the Fathers of the earth who offer the people dainties and benefits provided by men who exercise authority one over the other. This make the masses of the population of the people merchandise, literally human resources.
It will return the people to a welfare state of captivity and bondage like the bondage of Egypt and curse children.[6]
These systems of the world are like the Pax Romana which is not the double peace of the Corban of Christ.
Zion is clearly not just a place or location but is describing the condition or state of a place or its peculiar institution.[1]
Institutions require people and those people design the means and methods of those systems by what is in their heart and mind. To be the people of Zion you would be a peculiar people that follow the way of Zion that they may posses themselves and the land.[7]
It is said also to be a synonym for Jerusalem as well as for the Land of Israel or the land where the people of Israel dwell as a whole.
But then what or who is truly Israel?
It is often composed of the letters TzadikYodVavNun. In Amos 6:1 we see בְּצִיּ֔וֹן BeitTzadikYodVavNun.
