Jesus, King on Mount Zion.

The Father said, “I have set my King on my holy hill of Zion.” (Ps. 2: 6)

Jesus is appointed king by His Father and set on the highest ruling position – Mount Zion. This is in the third heaven where the angels are.

`You have come to Mount Zion…to God….innumerable angels….to Jesus…`                                                                                                                             (Heb. 12: 22 & 23)

Mount Zion on earth was part of Jerusalem and where King David ruled from. And then there was the city part further down.

`Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised in the city of our God, in His holy mountain. Beautiful in elevation, the joy of the whole earth, is Mount Zion on the sides of the north, the city of the great King.` (Ps. 48: 1 & 2)

When Jesus was on earth, He told Pilate that His rulership was not of this earth, meaning that no one on earth appointed Him.

`Jesus answered, “My kingdom (rule) is not of this world. If my kingdom (rule) were of this world, my servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to the Jews; but now my kingdom (rule) is not from here.” (John 18: 36)

The throne of Jesus is set by the Father in the highest realm – Mount Zion.

`…Behold, a throne set in heaven, and one sat on the throne. And He who sat there was like a Jasper and a Sardius stone in appearance...` (Rev. 4: 2 & 3)

The Jasper gem stone was the last on the High Priest`s breastplate. It stood for the tribe of Naphtali whose name means to prevail, to conquer –

`…I have prevailed.` (Gen. 30: 8)  Prevail – to gain the victory, to conquer.   

Christ was the last Adam and He prevailed over the world, the flesh and the devil. He has secured the supreme victory over the greatest foe.    

The Sardius gem stone was the first on the High Priest`s breastplate. It stood for the tribe of Judah. The prophetic word reveals that He would be the ruler (king) over the other tribes. (Gen. 49: 8 - 12) The Hebrew `yadah,` (Judah) means to use the hand, indicating power and dominion.

Thus, we see the Son on the Throne as King and High Priest, the conqueror.
