Jerusalem, on Mount Zion, signifies the doctrine of love to the Lord, and how it governs your life. Jerusalem first comes to our attention in 2 Samuel 5, when King David takes the city from the Jebusites and makes it his capital. In the next chapter he brings the Ark of the Covenant there, and later it is where Solomon builds the temple, and his own palace. From then on Jerusalem is the center of worship of the Israelitish church. It is the place where the Lord was presented in the temple as a baby, where He tarried to talk to the priests at age twelve, where He cleansed the temple, had the last supper, was crucified and then rose. It is a central place in both the old and new Testaments. The city was built on Mount Zion, the highest point of the mountains of Judea. A city, in the Word, represents doctrine, the organized knowledge of the truths of the church. Mountains represent love of the Lord and the consequent worship. If you put those things together, Jerusalem on Mount Zion signifies the doctrine of love to the Lord, and how it governs your life. This is why David was led to make Jerusalem the most important city of the land, and why all worship was conducted there. And this is also why Jeroboam was condemned for introducing idol worship in Samaria. In the Book of Revelation, John's vision of the city New Jerusalem descending from God is a prophecy of a new dispensation of doctrine coming from the Lord.

The word "Shiloh" means "peacemaker" or "peace". Peace on earth was, and is, one of the Lord's main goals in being born into the world. It is also one of His main hopes for every person he creates -- that we would enjoy states of peace that reach clear through to our souls.

The town of Shiloh was the religious center for the Children of Israel for some 300 years. The tabernacle was located there from the time of Joshua to the time of Samuel.

In Genesis 49:10, Shiloh means the coming of the Lord and the tranquility of peace. (Arcana Coelestia 6373). In Psalm 78:60, the meaning is similar: the church which is in the good of love, and so in peace. (Apocalypse Explained 811[5]). Shiloh is also used as one of the names of the Lord. (Apocalypse Explained 959[3])

However, the context is key. In Jeremiah 41:5, instead of the good of love, we find Shiloh associated with good that's been profaned: the men who come from Shechem, Shiloh and Samaria to make offerings in the newly-Babylon-ruled temple represent people who have profaned good things. (Apocalypse Explained 374[6]).
