Zion is our God.
To what or to whom do the words this is our God refer in Psalm 48.12-14a?
Walk about Zion, and go all around her. Count her towers; consider her bulwarks; pass through her palaces, that you may say to the next generation that this is God, our God forever and ever.Is the psalmist saying that Zion is God? (In the WBC, Craigie says on page 355 that the mount was in a sense God. But then he goes on to talk about symbolism.) Ben. |

Take a tour of Finlandia House in Helsinki, walk its corridors, climb its stairs. This is classic Alvar Aalto.
