DAUGHTERS OF ZION

  “Daughters” is used to refer to the citizens of various cities and states. For instance, “daughters of Moab” (Isa 16:2), “daughters of Israel” (2 Sam 1:24), “daughters of Judah” (Psalm 48:11), “daughters of Rabbah” (Jer 49:3), and so forth. Those are just some of the passages wherein the feminine noun is used for the people of those places. As such, “daughters” are the people who inherit the land of their fathers. For instance, “daughters of Israel” would mean the descendants of Jacob who the Lord called “Israel.”
  “Daughters of Judah,” would be those who descended from Jacob’s son, Judah, including the Benjamites who were “adopted” as equals to Judah. Who then are “daughters of Zion?” All the other “daughters” were daughters of certain peoples. Most of those nations were named after some patriarch. Who is the “patriarch” named “Zion?”  Perhaps, first, the place “Zion” should be identified.

When the Lord hath performed his whole work upon mount Zion and on Jerusalem, I will punish the fruit of the stout heart of the king of Assyria… For though thy people Israel be as the sand of the sea, yet a remnant of them shall return: the consumption decreed shall overflow with righteousness… Therefore, thus saith the Lord God of hosts, O my people that dwellest in Zion, be not afraid of the Assyrian… he shall shake his hand against the mount of the daughter of Zion, the hill of Jerusalem. (Isa 10:12, 22, 24, 32)

  From those verses, “Zion” is a specific mountain or hill within the city of Jerusalem. “The daughter of Zion” are the chief “daughter” of the people of Mount Zion within Jerusalem, and Israel. Jesus as the Son of God is the seed of Zion, referred to as “daughter of Zion.”
   It must be remembered from the Abrahamic Covenant that the promise of a Messiah would be from the seed of Israel. (Gen 12:1-3).  The word, “Messiah” is not used specifically, but that the Israelites would be “blessed” or live in bliss. That means the Paradise of Heaven, and the Way to obtain bliss is through the Christ.
  Jesus was called “the son of David.” He was to be born of the House of David. That at one time included Israel, inclusive of Judah. The man Jesus was a “daughter” of Judah, Israel, and Mount Zion, or the Temple Mount. That’s where Solomon’s Temple was built on Ornan’s Threshing Floor. That’s where God was resident on Earth when His Cloud filled the Temple. It would seem that “daughters of Zion” are God’s “chosen people” (the Hebrews) and His “peculiar people,” the Christians.
  However, we find out that some of the “daughters of Jerusalem” were proud and sinful, rather than righteous:

Because the daughters of Zion are haughty, and walk with stretched forth necks and wanton eyes, walking and mincing as they go, and making a tinkling with their feet: Therefore the Lord will smite with a scab the crown of the head of the daughters of Zion, and the Lord will discover their secret parts. (Isa 3:16-17)

  Mount Zion is a specific place marked by the Foundation Stone, or the Axis Mundi, believed to be the celestial axis. On that stone is believed to be the place Adam was created by God. Adam and Eve were citizens of the Garden of Eden and may have been created on Mount Zion.
  Adam means “man” in reference to mankind. Thus, “daughters of Zion” are all mankind, or citizens of the World. Jesus was the only Righteous “Daughter.”
  The threshing floor was on Mount Zion. God threshes and winnows out His seed from Satan’s seed – the chaff – at that place. His “daughters” were winnowed from the “daughters of mankind” whose father is the Devil (John 8:44). Although the etymology of “Zion” is unknown, it was known earlier as a Jebusite fortress, but it has always been known as “Beth-Shalem”, or the “House of Peace.” Jesus came to bring Peace on Earth: “Glory to God in the highest, and on earth peace, good will toward men” (Luke 2:14). Therefore, Zion is not the mount of Jebus, but the Mount of Peace. Daughters of Zion” are children of God. Some are sinful and others righteous. It is for God to winnow them out at the Place of Peace. “Daughters of Zion” seem to be the “whosoever” in John 3:16: “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.”
  The “daughters of Zion” are of two types: haughty and the meek. The haughty daughters shall perish and the meek inherit the earth. (Psalm 37:11 & Mat 5:5). From what place on Earth will the haughty “daughters” be isolated and where meek “daughters” will reside forever? New Jerusalem – the new place of Peace (Rev 21) wherein Jesus is king and the righteous will be the meek “daughters.” Zion is the Mount in the City that will endure forever, and that great city was named after a Patriarch. It is the Mount of JHWH (Yahweh or Jehovah). His Son Jesus (“Yahweh saves”) is the Way to the City of the Father, and the citizens thereof will be the meek “daughters of Zion!”
