Mount Zion

The Glorious Company                                                         Hebrews 12

¹⁸ For you have not come to the mountain that may be touched and that burned with fire, and to blackness and darkness and tempest, 


¹⁹ and the sound of a trumpet and the voice of words, so that those who heard it begged that the word should not be spoken to them anymore. 

 ²⁰ (For they could not endure what was commanded: “And if so much as a beast touches the mountain, it shall be stoned or shot with an arrow.” 

²¹ And so terrifying was the sight that Moses said, “I am exceedingly afraid and trembling.”)


²² But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, 

 ²³ to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, 

 ²⁴ to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.
