Psalm 50:2 Out of Zion, perfect in beauty, God shines forth.

Zion can mean the name of an actual place, or it can be symbol for the realm where God is in charge. We long for Zion in both senses of the word. A great thrill of my entire life was stepping off the El Al aircraft on the tarmac of Ben Gurian airport in Tel Aviv. The moon shining over Jerusalem made me have palpitations: Zion, at last!! Home, at last!!
