This One Was Born in ZION - Psalm 87

Psalm 87 is an interesting Psalm if you bear in mind that Israel is the land of Jacob and God loves ZION more than Israel. The Psalm also mentions Philistia and Tyre (Lebanon) and the nations and how the LORD will write in the register of the peoples.

"He has set his foundation on the holy mountain; the LORD loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are said of you, O city of God: Selah "I will record Rahab and Babylon among those who acknowledge me—Philistia too, and Tyre, along with Cush and will say, 'This one was born in Zion.'

" Indeed, of Zion it will be said, "This one and that one were born in her, and the Most High himself will establish her." The LORD will write in the register of the peoples: "This one was born in Zion." Selah

As they make music they will sing, "All my fountains are in you."

Biblegateway state that Rahab was a poetic name for Egypt. [1] However, in the book of Josiah it is written "Go, view the land, especially Jericho." So they went and came into the house of a harlot whose name was Rahab, and lodged there. Jos 2:1. The word Rahab (Strongs 07343) means 'Wide" and Jericho means (Strongs 03405) 'Its moon'. As we know the real place Jericho is five miles West of Jordan and the principle religion of the nation of Jordan? Islam and its symbol is the crescent moon.

In the book of Revelations chapter 17 and 18 the USA is the harlot. See commentaries and the explanation of the prophecy on this blog. What religion does Obama promote? Islam. In my humble view this Psalm is explaining the difference between those that were born in countries and those that were born in the Kingdom of God.

The Aramaic version of the bible translated by George Lamsa does have some slight differences, in fact there are 12,000 differences between the KJV and the Aramaic Peshitta.

"Her foundations are on his holy mountain. The LORD loves the gates of Zion more than the dwellings of Jacob. Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of our God. I will make mention of Rahab and Babylon, for they know my power; behold the Philistines and Tyre and the people of Ethiopia; it shall be said this man was born there.

And of Zion it shall be said, This mighty man was born in her; and the same shall establish her. The Lord shall number his people in the book: This man was born there! The princes that dwell in you shall rejoice, and all that are humbled in you."

Why the mention of the Princes? Is it a coincidence that there are princes in England? Or is it metaphysical that the angels dwell in her bearing in mind that some of the Archangels are called princes. From experience there are many layers to the word of God and to truly understand the scriptures, one must examine the many layers that are multi-dimensional.

In the book of Jeremiah it also states “The LORD will create a new thing on earth a woman will surround a man. Jer:31.:22

Do people really understand what this means? Do they understand what it means when it is written that he will establish her? One of the translations of the name ELIAKIM is 'God establishes'.

Prophet Zephaniah provides further insight. "The LORD within her is righteous; he does no wrong. Morning by morning he dispenses his justice, and every new day he does not fail, yet the unrighteous know no shame."Zeph 3:5

The Greek name for Zephaniah is Sophonias and Clement of Alexandra quoted from the Apocalypse of Zephaniah that mentions the Virgin that would come in the last days. [2]

In the Dead Sea Scrolls there is also a text titled "Apostrophe to Zion". It talks about the hope that she brings, the promise of peace and salvation. How the cherished ones will be joined to her. It informs her to take the vision that speaks of her and the dreams that the prophets requested about her.

In the reality of ELIAKIM and many parents the cherished ones are the children.
