Shrouded in the lore of legendary Indians, Mt. Timpanogos beckons the urban populace of Utah. And yet, no “Indian” legend graced the mount until Mormon settlers conjured it—once they had displaced the local Indians, the Utes, from their actual landmark, Utah Lake. On Zion’s Mount tells the story of this curious shift. It is a quintessentially American story about the fraught process of making oneself “native” in a strange land. But it is also a complex tale of how cultures confer meaning on the environment—how they create homelands. Only in Utah did Euro-American settlers conceive of having a homeland in the Native American sense—an endemic spiritual geography. They called it “Zion.” Mormonism, a religion indigenous to the United States, originally embraced Indians as “Lamanites,” or spiritual kin. On Zion’s Mount shows how, paradoxically, the Mormons created their homeland at the expense of the local Indians—and how they expressed their sense of belonging by investing Timpanogos with “Indian” meaning. This same pattern was repeated across the United States. Jared Farmer reveals how settlers and their descendants (the new natives) bestowed “Indian” place names and recited pseudo-Indian legends about those places—cultural acts that still affect the way we think about American Indians and American landscapes.
This Mt. Zion is the one in Hebrews 12:22-24, which is also called the Holy of Holies in heaven and the Lord's holy throne room. This book shows how the whole book of Hebrews is really a brief exhortation for believers in Jesus Christ to draw near to God in the Holy of Holies in heaven through our great High Priest, Jesus. The Bible shows that God imparts true life to His people there as we come intimately before Him. We can also see how God allows and equips His people to participate in His government of all the earth. It becomes clear that God's people -- Christians -- have missed taking full advantage of His great provision for us to draw near to Him through Jesus. Therefore we have seen a resulting loss of good fruit in our lives and throughout the earth. But by understanding what God provides for us in Jesus and in Mt. Zion -- the Lord's holy throne room -- we can see what we can do, so that we shall provide much more true life on earth by faith and God's power.
A study of the messianic kingdom passages of the Old Testament and their fulfillment in the church of Jesus Christ.
"A masterpiece of contemporary Bible translation and commentary."—Los Angeles Times Book Review, Best Books of 1999 Acclaimed for its masterful new translation and insightful commentary, The David Story is a fresh, vivid rendition of one of the great works in Western literature. Robert Alter's brilliant translation gives us David, the beautiful, musical hero who slays Goliath and, through his struggles with Saul, advances to the kingship of Israel. But this David is also fully human: an ambitious, calculating man who navigates his life's course with a flawed moral vision. The consequences for him, his family, and his nation are tragic and bloody. Historical personage and full-blooded imagining, David is the creation of a literary artist comparable to the Shakespeare of the history plays.
For more than 100 years, a small building has occupied the space we now know as the Mt. Zion Baptist Church. Mt. Zion was first known as the Benevolent Society. The Society bought the land for Mt. Zion in 1808. On September 16, 1866, the Benevolent Society was re-organized by the late Rev. C. J. Smith and Rev. W. M. Taylor to the Mt. Zion Missionary Baptist Church. Mt. Zion has stood on the banks of Old River for over 100 years. Mt. Zion has been destroyed by fire on two occasions and rebuilt. The church was used as a school for many African-American residents of upper Pointe Coupee Parish. It housed 1st through 8th grade. School was in session when one of the first fires took place that destroyed the church. The children were safely evacuated and the church was rebuilt. Mt. Zion was also damaged by Hurricane Gustav and repaired. Mt. Zion has had many leaders. Some of the leaders were the Rev C.J. Smith, W.M. Taylor, G. Duncan, D. Gaspander, G.B. Thompson, F. Green, W.L. Washington, Lesley Draper, Jr. and Matt Fountain. Before their deaths, Rev. W.L. Washington served as pastor for forty-four (44) years; Rev. Draper Jr. served as pastor for twenty-three (23) years; Rev. Fountain served as pastor for five (5) years. Our current pastor is Rev. Darren J. Bridgewater who was installed on February 10, 2013. Improvements through the years include: 1977 - remodeling began; 1986 - new pews; 1987 - cornerstone laid; 1988 - rooms added; 1990 - choir stand moved; 1991 - addition of stove and cabinets to the kitchen; 1992 - new windows; 1993 - cement driveway completed; 1998 - installation of central a/c; 2008 - roof repair; 2013 church mission statement established; 2014 church foundation improvement. God continues to bless us and we are thankful for his loving grace. Keep watch over yourselves and all the flock of which the Holy Spirit has made you overseers. Be shepherds of the church of God, which he bought with his own blood. Acts 20:28
The Tabernacle of David, seemingly such an obscure topic in Scripture, has stirred much interest in recent years. In this exposition, the author will clearly show how this “veil-less” tent upon Mount Zion reveals the higher dimension of worship that our God seeks. David’s Tabernacle not only reveals the higher worship of Mount Zion, but also the New Covenant standard. The veil-less tent housed the Ark of the Covenant, speaking of the veil that has been rent for us to enter into the very presence of God. This book will challenge you to be a “true worshiper!”
