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.

머리는 우리의 가장 높은 부분이며, 이는 대표적 의미에서 그것이 주님과 가장 가까운 것임을 의미합니다. 이 때문에 머리는 우리 안에있는 것, 우리 존재의 중심에있는 것을 나타냅니다. 대부분의 경우 이것은 지능과 지혜를 의미합니다. 우리 대부분은 우리의 생각과 이성에 의해 인도되는 삶의 상태에 있기 때문입니다. 그러나 주님의 경우에는 종종 그분의 완전한 사랑을 나타냅니다. 그리고 대부분의 경우 머리는 전체 사람을 나타내는 데 사용됩니다. 왜냐하면 우리 안에있는 모든 것이 가장 깊은 곳에서 흘러 나오기 때문입니다.
