Psalm 87

In just 1 minute I was able to read this psalm from two translations. I talk about my hometown often. It is part of what defines me; it is a big part of the foundation of my life. I think that God created us like that, to recall the impact of our home town on our lives, because that is a little like him. Jerusalem, Zion in this psalm, is NOT God's hometown, but it is the picture he chose to use. Jerusalem is a high place, and it is the city where God chose to place his name. How much more like heaven could you want? For Christians it is also a picture of the place where we have been reborn; in the eternal heaven.
