Zion —Connections Between the National Park and True Zion

Amazingly, Zion National Park, like the heavenly Zion, is situated in both a place of ascent and a place of descent. It is located on what is called the Grand Staircase between Bryce Canyon to the north and the Grand Canyon to the south. The true Mount Zion stands between heaven and earth. Christ calls us up to Zion and Christ comes down to stand on the Mount with us.

As Zion is enduring, so the sedimentary rock in Zion they say spans 150 million years. 

Zion for the people of God is the Mount where Jesus gathers with his virgin followers in Revelation 14. In Utah, the Virgin River flows through Zion. 

Those who found the hidden places in the park described vineyards as well as orchards of pomegranates, peaches, and apples. Zion for the believer is the place where God tabernacles over His own and provides all they need coming from Christ the Savior. 

Zion is the New Jerusalem where we come to myriads of angels and to spirits of righteous men made complete (Hebrews 12:22-23).
