Isaiah - Spiritual Zion
IsaiahSteve Gregg
Steve Gregg explains how the mention of Zion in Isaiah is more spiritual than physical. He states that the demographic shift in the Old Testament moved from a covenant with Jewish people to including Gentiles as well. Gregg believes that when the passage talks about Zion, it is referring to the future glory of the church and not its present state. The church is viewed as a holy nation made up of God's chosen people who do not fight wars or wars of religion, unlike the institutional church.
