This Sunday we will be hearing the gospel reading from the 14th chapter of the Revelation to John. It opens with a vision of Mount Zion, the holy mountain that makes up part of the Temple foundation for Solomon's temple. Mount Moriah is the other part, and the tops of both mountains were cut off and placed in the crevice between the two so that a wider, flat plane was created for the building site. Mount Zion is also where Melchisadek cared for a holy place dedicated to the mysteries of the Son, and from his higher knowledge he knew to meet Abraham and bring the offerings of bread and wine. Truly a prophetic atmosphere around Mt. Zion, for this is also where much later Christ would celebrate the Last Supper, and instituted the uniting his soul with these same substances.
