Advent 2: Populus Zion

Populus Zion or the People of Zion. Zion is the name of the mountain on which the Temple was built. It was closely connected to the place where God came to be with His people. Eventually, it became the way that the Scriptures identified the people of God. The New Testament identifies the people of Zion as those redeemed by the Lamb of God, Jesus Christ.
