Born in Zion



I heard a Chuck Missler radio broadcast where he was explaining Psalm 87:5 from the translated Septuagint:
A man will say, Zion is my mother. (This man was born in her.) So He, the Most High, will build her up.
The Psalm goes on to say that those who claim Zion/Jerusalem as their birthplace are from the nations. (Zion is a hill in Jerusalem, the terms are used interchangeably in scripture)
Paul says in Galatians 4:26 that, the Jerusalem that is above...is our mother"
Hebrews 12:22 says, But you are come unto Mount Zion and to the City of the Living God, the Heavenly Jerusalem....
So then we see these Gentiles are born in the Heavenly Jerusalem! Born again as Yeshua relates to Nicodemus in John chapter three.
Paul was born in a Roman provincial city, Tarsus. He therefore had all the rights of a Roman citizen, including the right to appeal to Caesar, which he did.
A person born in the Heavenly Zion/New Jerusalem has all the rights of that kingdom, the Kingdom of God!
Let us therefore, brothers and sisters, fellow citizens with the saints, humbly walk as ambassadors of that Kingdom, inviting whosoever-will into our Father's Kingdom to enjoy the rights and benefits of His dominion!
