      Mount of Zion is cryptically referring to God's dominion, the might itself.

      Most any term in the terminology is cryptic and requires the reader to contemplate.

      The word for mount/mountain in these languages do not literally mean that piece of rock but is only descriptive. It can also refer to "the foundation on which something stands", e.g. someone's doctrine. So even if it is underground (below the Earth) it still uses the same word. Refer to it as the mountain you cannot see because it is covered, yet it is technically a mountain.

      Be well

        There is a specific mount on earth named Mount Zion it's near Jerusalem.
        You can google it on your map to find the location (and also the route to reach there if you want)

        The mountain is revered by the israelites, in similar manner as mount Olympus revered by the Greeks or mount Fuji is revered by the Japanese.. Thus they sometimes attached myth and also use it as 'allegory'..

          Yes, but the medieval clergymen named many places with words they found. Mount Zion is not a real place in this world but a metaphor, it can be understood by reading the Isaiah book in the Bible where the phrase Mount Zion is used. At least I could make out it related to something similar to what I argued in the last post.

            Pazuzu had another idea, of another mount, by the same name.
            It can be found in his articles.
