The Lake of Lava, the True Mount Zion, and the True Location of Gehenna and the Judgment

The “lake of fire” will be a literal lake of lava, which is why it is called “lake of fire”, for lava is a liquid to be a “lake”, and also extremely hot to be a “fire”.

…the lake of fire.

Revelation 20:15

• 

• 

• 

• 

Which is a lake of lava that does not exist yet, because it will form at the second coming of the Mashiach, for that is when he will take his seat on his throne on this earth, to begin the “judgment”. Which is when books will be opened, which is when a river of lava will begin to flow to form the lake of lava, to serve a purpose for that “judgment”, which is the “punishment”.

As I looked, thrones were placed, and the Ancient of Days took his seat; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was flames of fire and burning whirlwinds of fire. A river of fire issued and came out from before him. Thousands upon thousands served him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.

Daniel 7:9-10

For everyone on earth will be captured by angels, the angels the Mashiach will come with, and will be taken to the Valley of Jehoshaphat, which is where the “judgment” will take place, which is outside the eastern wall of old Jerusalem. And all will be stripped naked to put them to shame. And all will be judged by having accusations read against each man, according to their evil works that are recorded in books. And many will wail in grief, and others will gnash their teeth in fury. Those who are irreverent during their judgment will have their teeth smashed by the angels that will stand guard during each judgment.

the Master, your hand is lifted high, but they do not see it. Let them see your zeal for your people and be put to shame; let the fire reserved for your enemies consume them.

Isaiah 26:11

All my enemies will be overwhelmed with shame and anguish; they will turn back and suddenly be put to shame.

Psalm 6:10

…there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

Matthew 13:49-50

Behold, I am coming like a thief. Blessed is the one who remains awake and clothed, so that he will not go naked and let his shame be exposed.

Revelation 16:15

O God, shatter their teeth in their mouths; tear out the fangs of the young lions, O the Master… The righteous will rejoice when he sees the vengeance; he will bathe his feet in the blood of the wicked. Mankind will say, “Surely there is a reward for the righteous; surely there is a God who judges on earth.”

Psalm 58:6-11

Arise, O the Master! Save me, O my God! For you strike all my enemies on the cheek; you break the teeth of the wicked.

Psalm 3:7

Which is a “judgment” that the people of God will be given authority to carry out, for there will be too many people to judge, which will require many judges than just 1 judge. And greater cases will be given to the Mashiach, like the case of Satan, and lesser cases will be given to the people of God, just as it happened with Moses, and just as the Torah commands, “you shall appoint judges”. And the people of God will sit on thrones to judge the world, to thus render the “punishment” unto the torahless by condemning each one of them to be thrown onto the lake of lava, after each one is judged. And all will be forced to bend the knee to worship God by honoring the people of God, which is why it is written, “every knee shall bow to me” and “I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you”. And this will be the revenge of the people of God against the world, against those who persecuted and mocked and killed the people of God, for revenge itself is not evil, but God does not want us to avenge ourselves now, but rather to let God avenge us later, hence, “vengeance is mine, I will repay”. And the judgment will take up to 5 months to complete from the time the world is struck with the 1st plague of boils. Which is why the sting of torment of the angels released at the 5th trumpet blast will last up to 5 months, for the plagues are their sting of torment that they will force the world to suffer by preventing them from committing suicide. And by the time the last man has been judged 5 months would have passed by and will therefore be the maximum amount of time any man will endure the agony of the plagues of Revelation until they are all finally judged and destroyed in the lake of lava. And that is why they will have no rest “day and night” until everyone among the living at the second coming of the Mashiach is judged and condemned. And that is why “wailing” and “famine” and “plague” and “death” will all be rendered to the prostitute of Babylon in merely 1 prophetic day, which is 1 literal year, for the judgment and condemnation at the second coming of the Mashiach will happen quickly.

The next day Moses sat to judge the people, and the people stood around Moses from morning till evening. When Moses’ father-in-law saw all that he was doing for the people, he said, “What is this that you are doing for the people? Why do you sit alone, and all the people stand around you from morning till evening?” And Moses said to his father-in-law, “Because the people come to me to inquire of God; when they have a dispute, they come to me and I decide between one person and another, and I make them know the statutes of God and his Torot.” But Moses’ father-in-law said to him, “What you are doing is not good. You and the people with you will certainly wear yourselves out, for the thing is too heavy for you. You are not able to do it alone. Now obey my voice; I will give you advice, and God be with you! You shall represent the people before God and bring their cases to God, and you shall warn them about the statutes and the Torot, and make them know the way in which they must walk and what they must do. Moreover, look for able men from all the people, men who fear God, who are trustworthy and hate a bribe, and place such men over the people as chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens. And let them judge the people at all times. Every great matter they shall bring to you, but any small matter they shall decide themselves. So it will be easier for you, and they will bear the burden with you. If you do this, God will direct you, you will be able to endure, and all this people also will go to their place in peace.” So Moses listened to the voice of his father-in-law and did all that he had said. Moses chose able men out of all Israel and made them heads over the people, chiefs of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties, and of tens. And they judged the people at all times. Any hard case they brought to Moses, but any small matter they decided themselves.

Exodus 18:13-26

You shall appoint judges and officers in all your towns that the Master your God is giving you, according to your tribes, and they shall judge the people with righteous judgment.

Deuteronomy 16:18

for it is written, “As I live, says the Master, every knee shall bow to me, and every tongue shall confess to God.”

Romans 14:11

…I will make them come and bow down before your feet, and they will learn that I have loved you

Revelation 3:9

When he opened the fifth seal, I saw under the altar the souls of those who had been slain for the word of God and for the witness they had borne. They cried out with a loud voice, “O Sovereign Master, set-apart and true, how long before you will judge and avenge our blood on those who dwell on the earth?” Then they were each given a white robe and told to rest a little longer, until the number of their fellow servants and their brothers should be complete, who were to be killed as they themselves had been.

Revelation 6:9-11

Do not avenge yourselves, beloved, but leave room for God’s wrath. For it is written: “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay, says the Master.”

Romans 12:19

When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on his glorious throne. Before him will be gathered all the nations, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. And he will place the sheep on his right, but the goats on the left. Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world… “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you cursed, into the aeonial fire prepared for the devil and his angels.

Matthew 25:31-41

I will gather all nations and bring them down to the Valley of Jehoshaphat. There I will put them on trial for what they did to my inheritance, my people Israel, because they scattered my people among the nations and divided up my land.

Joel 3:2

And God will provide rest for you who are being persecuted and also for us when the Master Yeshua appears from heaven. He will come with his mighty angels

2 Thessalonians 1:7

For the Son of Man is going to come in his Father’s glory with his angels, and then he will reward each person according to what they have done.

Matthew 16:27

If anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will be ashamed of them when he comes in his Father’s glory with the set-apart angels.”

Mark 8:38

the Master thunders at the head of his army; his forces are beyond number, and mighty is the army that obeys his command. The day of the Master is great; it is dreadful. Who can endure it?

Joel 2:11

The Son of Man will send out his angels, and they will weed out of his kingdom everything that causes sin and all who practice lawlessness.

Matthew 13:41

This is how it will be at the end of the aeon. The angels will come and separate the wicked from the righteous and throw them into the blazing furnace…

Matthew 13:49-50

You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.

Psalm 139:16

Or do you not know that the set-apart ones will judge the world? And if you are to judge the world, are you not competent to judge trivial cases? Do you not know that we will judge angels? How much more the things of this life!

1 Corinthians 6:2-3

I saw thrones on which were seated those who had been given authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony about Yeshua and because of the word of God. They had not worshiped the beast or its image and had not received its mark on their foreheads or their hands. They came to life and reigned with the Mashiach a thousand years.

Revelation 20:4

He will judge between the nations and will settle disputes for many peoples. They will beat their swords into plowshares and their spears into pruning hooks. Nation will not take up sword against nation, nor will they train for war anymore.

Isaiah 2:4

Our God comes and will not be silent; a fire devours before him… to the wicked person, God says: “What right have you to recite my laws or take my covenant on your lips? You hate my instruction and cast my words behind you. When you see a thief, you join with him; you throw in your lot with adulterers. You use your mouth for evil and harness your tongue to deceit. You sit and testify against your brother and slander your own mother’s son. When you did these things and I kept silent, you thought I was exactly like you. But I now arraign you and set my accusations before you.

Psalm 50:3-21

You will throw them in a flaming furnace when you appear. the Master will consume them in his anger; fire will devour them.

Psalm 21:9

You will capture all your enemies. Your strong right hand will seize all who hate you.

Psalm 21:8

So it will happen in that day, That the Master will punish the host of heaven on high, And the kings of the earth on earth. They will be gathered together Like prisoners in the dungeon, And will be confined in prison; And after many days they will be punished.

Isaiah 24:21-22

…to execute vengeance on the nations and punishments on the peoples, to bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron, to execute on them the judgment written!…

Psalm 149:7-9

But the beast was captured, and with it the false prophet who had performed the signs on its behalf. With these signs he had deluded those who had received the mark of the beast and worshiped its image. The two of them were thrown alive into the fiery lake of burning sulfur.

Revelation 19:20

The fifth angel sounded his trumpet, and I saw a star that had fallen from the sky to the earth. The star was given the key to the shaft of the Abyss. When he opened the Abyss, smoke rose from it like the smoke from a gigantic furnace. The sun and sky were darkened by the smoke from the Abyss. And out of the smoke locusts came down on the earth and were given power like that of scorpions of the earth…They were not allowed to kill them but only to torture them for five months. And the agony they suffered was like that of the sting of a scorpion when it strike. And in those days people will seek death and will not find it. They will long to die, but death will flee from them… They had as king over them the angel of the Abyss, whose name in Hebrew is Abaddon and in Greek is Apollyon (that is, Destroyer). 

Revelation 9:1-11

Then your covenant with death will be annulled, and your agreement with Sheol will not stand; when the overwhelming scourge passes through, you will be beaten down by it. As often as it passes through it will take you; for morning by morning it will pass through, by day and by night; and it will be sheer terror to understand the report.

Isaiah 28:18-19

The first angel went and poured out his bowl on the land, and evil and agonizing sores broke out on the people who had the mark of the beast and worshiped its image.

Revelation 16:2

Day and night there will be no rest for those who worship the beast and its image, or for anyone who receives the mark of its name.

Revelation 14:11

For this reason her plagues will come in one day, death and mourning and famine, and she will be burned up with fire; for mighty is the Master God who has judged her.

Revelation 18:8

And the lava in the lake of lava will originate from Zion, for Zion is a mountain, hence “Mount Zion”. Which does not exist yet, because it will be the highest mountain on the earth, which is currently not anywhere in Israel. For the highest mountain in Israel is considered to be Mount Hermon, which is considered to have an altitude of around 2,236m. Whereas the highest mountain on the earth, which is currently Mount Everest, which is not in Israel, is considered to be around 8,848m. And Mount Godwin-Austen at around 8,611m. And Mount Kanchenjunga at around 8,586m. And hundreds of other mountains throughout the earth that are higher than the highest mountain in Israel.

…declares the Master, whose fire is in Zion… 

Isaiah 31:9

In visions of God he took me to the land of Israel and set me on a very high mountain… 

Ezekiel 40:2-5

In the last days the mountain of the Master… will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills… 

Isaiah 2:2-3

In the last days the mountain of the Master… will be established as the highest of the mountains; it will be exalted above the hills… 

Micah 4:1

And this mountain will form with the earthquake that will happen on the day of the second coming of the Mashiach. And that is why gifts will be brought to Yeshua to Mount Zion shortly after his coming. But before the 7 trumpet blasts, and before the blowing of the great shofar on the Day of Atonement, which is the day the people of God will be gathered, the day the harvest will be ready.

The sky was rolled up like a scroll, and every mountain and island was removed from its place. Then the kings of the earth and the great ones and the generals and the rich and the powerful, and everyone, slave and free, hid themselves in the caves and among the rocks of the mountains, calling to the mountains and rocks, “Fall on us and hide us from the face of him who is seated on the throne, and from the wrath of the Lamb, for the great day of their wrath has come, and who can stand?”

Revelation 6:14-17

And people shall enter the caves of the rocks and the holes of the ground, from before the terror of the Master, and from the glory of his majesty, when he rises to shake the earth.

Isaiah 2:19

All you inhabitants of the world, you who dwell on the earth, when a banner is raised on the mountains, look! When the shofar is blown, hear! For the Master thus said to me: “I will quietly look from my dwelling like clear heat in sunshine, like a cloud of dew in the heat of harvest.” For before the harvest is ready and the bud blossoms into a ripened grape, he cuts off the twigs with pruning hooks, and the spreading branches he removes and cuts down. They shall all of them be left to the birds of prey of the mountains and to the beasts of the earth. And the birds of prey will summer on them, and all the beasts of the earth will winter on them. At that time tribute will be brought to the Master of armies from a people tall and smooth, from a people feared near and far, a nation mighty and conquering, whose land the rivers divide, to Mount Zion, the place of the name of the Master of armies.

Isaiah 18:3-7

And from the newly formed Mount Zion a river of lava will also begin to flow. Which will flow towards the south, towards Negev, which will burn Yatir Forest in the northern part of Negev. And the lava will flow towards the north, towards Jerusalem, which is why Yeshua called the place of fire “Gehenna”, which means “Valley of Hinnom”, for the lava will flow into the Valley of Hinnom. And a lake of lava will form outside the southern wall of old Jerusalem, which is where each man that is judged will be thrown into, the “lake of fire” in “Gehenna”, meaning the lake of lava that will form in the Valley of Hinnom. And because the lava will flow north and south of Mount Zion is why it is written, “all surfaces north to south shall be scorched by it”.

Son of man, set your face toward the south; preach against the south, and prophesy against the forest land in the Negev. Say to the forest of the Negev, Hear the word of the Master: Thus says the Master the Master, Behold, I will kindle a fire in you, and it shall devour every green tree in you and every dry tree. The blazing flame shall not be quenched… All flesh shall see that I the Master have kindled it; it shall not be quenched. 

Ezekiel 20:46-48

…declares the Master, whose fire is in Zion, and whose furnace is in Jerusalem.

Isaiah 31:9

…The blazing flame shall not be quenched, and all surfaces from south to north shall be scorched by it. All flesh shall see that I the Master have kindled it; it shall not be quenched. 

Ezekiel 20:47-48

And if your eye should cause you to stumble, cast it out; it is better for you to enter into the kingdom of God with one eye, than having two eyes, to be cast into Gehenna, where ‘their worm does not die, and the fire is not quenched.’

Mark 9:47-48

• 

And the lake of lava be an “unquenchable” fire because of the difficulty of quenching lava, which is known to remain hot for months or years even though the top layer dries quickly. Yet as new lava flows into the lake of lava, new layers of hot lava will form above cooler and older layers of lava, thus always keeping the lake of lava hot. And when the torahless are literally thrown into the lake of lava, naked, the dry lava will cut like glass because lava is both rock and metal. And the hot lava beneath will scorch with tremendous heat like an oven and can also ignite with fire, thus causing death by being cooked or burned alive in a terrifying and excruciatingly agonizing way. And this will thus make an entire lifetime of sin and pleasures not worth it.

he also will drink the wine of God’s wrath, poured full strength into the cup of his anger, and he will be tormented with fire and sulfur in the presence of the set-apart angels and in the presence of the Lamb.

Revelation 14:10

And because of the high viscosity of lava and as billions of torahless ones die in the lake of lava, their corpses will remain on the surface, which will result in worms coming to life and feeding on those corpses on the surface, without dying. And all of this will be seen by the inhabitants of Jerusalem just outside its southern wall, which will be something extremely disgusting to behold, and will thus fulfill this prophecy.

And they will go out and look on the dead bodies of those who rebelled against me; the worms that eat them will not die, the fire that burns them will not be quenched, and they will be loathsome to all mankind.

Isaiah 66:24

And this will thus be the final punishment rendered unto “the living and the dead” that will be condemned. For it will be the first and final death for the living that are judged and thrown in it, among all the nations that will be gathered by the Mashiach at his second coming. Yet it will be a second and final death unto the dead that are judged and thrown in it, who will be resurrected a thousand years later after the rulership of the Mashiach is complete. And that is why the lake of lava is also called the “second death”.

I charge you in the presence of God and of the Mashiach Yeshua, who is to judge the living and the dead, and by his appearing and his kingdom:

2 Timothy 4:1

but they will give account to him who is ready to judge the living and the dead.

1 Peter 4:5

And I saw the dead, great and small, standing before the throne, and books were opened. Another book was opened, which is the book of life. The dead were judged according to what they had done as recorded in the books. The sea gave up the dead that were in it, and death and Hades gave up the dead that were in them, and each person was judged according to what they had done. 

Revelation 20:12-13

…The lake of fire is the second death. 

Revelation 20:14

Blessed and set-apart are those who share in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them… 

Revelation 20:6

And the lake of lava will destroy both body and soul, which means that everyone thrown there will be annihilated and cease to exist, including angels and demons, who will be transformed into the form of flesh and bones, to die in agony, which is why it is written, “you are gods, sons of the Most High, but you shall die like men”. And as the corpses of everyone thrown onto the lake of lava continue to be eaten by worms and also continue to be consumed by the lava, all the torahless will be reduced to mere ashes. And eventually will be trampled by the righteous when the lava dries and cools.

And you should not be afraid of those killing the body but not being able to kill the soul. Indeed rather you should fear the One being able to destroy both soul and body in Gehenna.

Matthew 10:28

Then you will trample on the wicked; they will be ashes under the soles of your feet on the day when I act, says the Master Almighty.

Malachi 4:3

The wicked man sees it and is angry; he gnashes his teeth and melts away; the desire of the wicked will perish!

Psalm 112:10

For his anger lasts only a moment, but his favor lasts a lifetime; weeping may stay for the night, but rejoicing comes in the morning.

Psalm 30:5

…You were the seal of perfection, full of wisdom and perfect in beauty. You were in Eden, the garden of God… Through your widespread trade you were filled with violence, and you sinned. So I drove you in disgrace from the mount of God, and I expelled you, guardian cherub, from among the fiery stones. Your heart became proud on account of your beauty, and you corrupted your wisdom because of your splendor. So I threw you to the earth; I made a spectacle of you before kings. By your many sins and dishonest trade you have desecrated your set-apart places. So I made a fire come out from you, and it consumed you, and I reduced you to ashes on the ground in the sight of all who were watching. All the nations who knew you are appalled at you; you have come to a horrible end and will be no more.’” 

Ezekiel 28:12-19

I said, “You are gods, sons of the Most High, all of you; nevertheless, like men you shall die, and fall like any prince.”

Psalm 82:6-7

In the synagogue there was a man possessed by a demon, an unclean airflow. He cried out at the top of his voice,
“Go away! What do you want with us, Yeshua of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are–the Set-Apart One of God!”

Luke 4:33-34

Just then a man in their synagogue who was possessed by an unclean airflow cried out, “What do you want with us, Yeshua of Nazareth? Have you come to destroy us? I know who you are–the Set-Apart One of God!”

Mark 1:23-24

And because of how long the lake of lava will continue to burn is why it is called an “aeonial fire”, not “eternal” fire, which is a mistranslation, because it will burn for one aeon, the aeon of the rulership of the Mashiach on earth for 1,000 thousand years. And his 1,000 year rulership is the millennial Shabbath of this earth of the 7,000 total years appointed for the existence of this earth. And 1,000 years is a long time for a lake of lava to continually burn. And just as breaking the weekly Shabbath was strict and merely picking up sticks merited death, so in likewise manner the millennial Shabbath will be strict. And any sin committed during that time by anyone among the nations will merit destruction in the lake of lava, which is why Yeshua said, “if anyone calls his brother fool he will be liable to the aeonial fire”. And this is one reason why he will rule the world with a rod of iron. And because of the strictness of his rulership the world will be righteous and full of the knowledge of God.

“Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the aeonial fire…

Matthew 25:41

And whoever speaks a word against the Son of Man will be forgiven, but whoever speaks against the set-apart airflow will not be forgiven, either in this aeon nor in the one coming.

Matthew 12:32

While the people of Israel were in the wilderness, they found a man gathering sticks on the Shabbath day. And those who found him gathering sticks brought him to Moses and Aaron and to all the congregation. They put him in custody, because it had not been made clear what should be done to him. And the Master said to Moses, “The man shall be put to death; all the congregation shall stone him with stones outside the camp.”

Numbers 15:32-35

But I say to you that everyone who is angry with his brother will be liable to judgment; whoever calls his brother “worthless” will be liable to the sanhedrin; and whoever says, ‘You idiot!’ will be liable to the aeonial fire.

Matthew 5:22

…He shall rule them with a rod of iron…

Revelation 2:27

For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Master as the waters cover the sea.

Habakkuk 2:14

They shall not hurt or destroy in all my holy mountain; for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the Master as the waters cover the sea.

Isaiah 11:9

And people will be continually thrown onto the lake of lava throughout his 1,000 year rulership. First the living at the beginning of his rulership at his second coming will be thrown onto the lake of lava, then those who sin under his rulership, then the dead 1,000 years later at the end of his rulership. And that is why the smoke of the torment of the lake of lava will rise up continually up to the aeons of the aeons, because until the “aeons of the aeons” in the new heavens and new earth begin, the lake of lava will continue incinerating everyone thrown in it, with smoke continually rising. And once the 1,000 years are finished then this heaven and this earth will pass away, along with the lake of lava on the earth. And that is why the lake of lava is not an “eternal” fire, for once all the torahless are destroyed on the lake of lava it will serve no further purpose to exist. And the last 2 things to be destroyed in it will be Hades and Death itself.

And the smoke of their torment goes up to aeons of aeons…

Revelation 14:11

Then the end will come, when he hands over the kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority and power.

1 Corinthians 15:24

Then I saw “a new heaven and a new earth,” for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea… And there will be no night there; and they have no need of a lamp, and the light of the sun, for the Master God enlightens them; and they shall reign into the aeons of the aeons.

Revelation 21:1-5

Then death and Hades were thrown into the lake of fire.

Revelation 20:14

Then I saw a great white throne and him who was seated on it. From his presence earth and sky fled away, and no place was found for them.

Revelation 20:11

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Matthew 24:35

For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished.

Matthew 5:18

Heaven and earth will pass away, but my words will never pass away.

Mark 13:31

And in this way, it will be the lava that comes from Mount Zion that will destroy all the torahless. Yet Mount Zion will also be the place where the people of the Mashiach will be taken to after having been gathered at his second coming. It will also be the mountain where a city will be built for his people to live in. And Yeshua will also live on that mountain. And will also be the mountain where the temple Ezekiel saw in a vision will be built, during the rulership of the Mashiach, and will thus be the second place Yeshua will rule the earth from after first ruling from Jerusalem after his second coming, which is why it is written, “he will rule on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem”. And a river of water will also flow from Mount Zion, which will flow to the east to the Dead Sea, causing it to become fresh. Which will become full of fish, and on the sides of the river will grow trees, which will provide food and healing to man. Which implies the location of Mount Zion will be south of Jerusalem, west of the Dead Sea, and north of Negev, which will be around Mount Hebron, which is where Abraham is entombed.

…his throne was fiery flames and whirlwinds of burning fire. A river of fire issued and came out from before him. Thousands upon thousands served him… 

Daniel 7:10

Then the moon will be abashed and the sun ashamed, For the Master of armies will reign on Mount Zion and in Jerusalem, And His glory will be before His elders.

Isaiah 24:23

Thus says the Master: I have returned to Zion and will dwell in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth and the mountain of the Master of armies, the set-apart mountain.

Zechariah 8:3

“In that day,” declares the Master, “I will gather the lame; I will assemble the exiles and those I have brought to grief. I will make the lame my remnant, those driven away a strong nation. the Master will rule over them in Mount Zion from that day and aeonially.

Micah 4:6-7

On this mountain the Master Almighty will prepare a feast of rich food for all peoples, a banquet of aged wine– the best of meats and the finest of wines. On this mountain he will destroy the shroud that enfolds all peoples, the sheet that covers all nations; he will swallow up death… The Master the Master will wipe away the tears from all faces; he will remove his people’s disgrace from all the earth. the Master has spoken. In that day they will say, “Surely this is our God; we trusted in him, and he saved us.

A song of ascents. Of David. How good and pleasant it is when God’s people live together in unity! It is like precious oil poured on the head, running down on the beard, running down on Aaron’s beard, down on the collar of his robe. It is as if the dew of Hermon were falling on Mount Zion. For there the Master bestows his blessing, even aeonial life.

The man said to me, “Son of man, look carefully and listen closely and pay attention to everything I am going to show you, for that is why you have been brought here. Tell the people of Israel everything you see.” I saw a wall completely surrounding the temple area. The length of the measuring rod in the man’s hand was six long cubits, each of which was a cubit and a hand breadth. He measured the wall; it was one measuring rod thick and one rod high.

A song. A psalm of the Sons of Korah. Great is the Master, and most worthy of praise, in the city of our God, his set-apart mountain. Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, like the remote parts of the north is Mount Zion, the city of the Great King. God is in her citadels; he has shown himself to be her fortress…. Mount Zion rejoices, the villages of Judah are glad because of your judgments. Walk about Zion, go around her, count her towers, consider well her ramparts, view her citadels, that you may tell of them to the next generation.

And in this place I will give peace, declares the Master of armies.

Revelation 14:1

Then he brought me back to the door of the temple, and behold, water was issuing from below the threshold of the temple toward the east, for the temple faced east. The water was flowing down from below the south end of the threshold of the temple, south of the altar. Then he brought me out by way of the north gate and led me around on the outside to the outer gate that faces toward the east; and behold, the water was trickling out on the south side. Going on eastward with a measuring line in his hand, the man measured a thousand cubits, and then led me through the water, and it was ankle-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water, and it was knee-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and led me through the water, and it was waist-deep. Again he measured a thousand, and it was a river that I could not pass through, for the water had risen. It was deep enough to swim in, a river that could not be passed through. And he said to me, “Son of man, have you seen this?” Then he led me back to the bank of the river. As I went back, I saw on the bank of the river very many trees on the one side and on the other. And he said to me, “This water flows toward the eastern region and goes down into the Dead Sea, and enters the sea; when the water flows into the sea, the water will become fresh. And wherever the river goes, every living creature that swarms will live, and there will be very many fish. For this water goes there, that the waters of the sea may become fresh; so everything will live where the river goes. Fishermen will stand beside the sea. From En-Gedi to En-Eglaim it will be a place for the spreading of nets. Its fish will be of very many kinds, like the fish of the Great Sea. But its swamps and marshes will not become fresh; they are to be left for salt. And on the banks, on both sides of the river, there will grow all kinds of trees for food. Their leaves will not wither, nor their fruit fail, but they will bear fresh fruit every month, because the water for them flows from the set-apart place. Their fruit will be for food, and their leaves for healing.”

Ezekiel 47:1-12
