Previous Questions and Answers
I
am a King James believer, but I would be lying if I told someone that it is infallible,
because in ps 65:1 "Sion" is mispelled. It's supposed to be spelled with a
"Z", not an "S". This is a Messianic prophecy, and the kingdom
will not be set up in Sion/Hermon Due.4:48, but in Zion/Jerusalem. A mispelling makes it
fallible, doesn't it?
No,
I would not call that a misspelling. Jerusalem
is called by many names in the Bible.
Psalms
65:1 says, “Praise waiteth for thee, O God, in Sion:
and unto thee shall the vow be performed.”
Matthew
21:5 says, “Tell ye the daughter of Sion,
Behold, thy King cometh unto thee, meek, and sitting upon an ass, and a colt the foal of
an ass.”
John
12:15 says, “Fear not, daughter of Sion:
behold, thy King cometh, sitting on an ass's colt.”
Romans
9:33 says, “As it is written, Behold, I lay in Sion
a stumblingstone and rock of offence: and whosoever believeth on him shall not be
ashamed.”
Romans
11:26 says, “And so all Israel shall be saved: as it is written, There shall come out
of Sion
the Deliverer, and shall turn away ungodliness from Jacob.”

Peter 2:6 says, “Wherefore also it is contained in the scripture, Behold, I lay in Sion
a chief corner stone, elect, precious: and he that believeth on him shall not be
confounded.”
Jerusalem
is called “Zion” 154 times in the Bible.
Isaiah
2:3 says, “And many people shall go and say, Come ye, and let us go up to the
mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob; and he will teach us of his ways,
and we will walk in his paths: for out of Zion
shall go forth the law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.”
Jerusalem
is called “Salem” 4 times in the Bible.
Psalms
76:2 says, “In Salem
also is his tabernacle, and his dwelling place in Zion.”
Jerusalem
is called the “City of David” 47
times in the Bible.
2 Samuel 5:7 says, “Nevertheless David took the strong hold of Zion:
the same is the city
of David.”
You
can see why it is sometimes shortened to the “S” beginning by looking at
Strong’s Concordance. “H6726 Tsiyown
(1)Tsiyown tsee-yone' the same (regularly) as 6725; Tsijon (as a permanent capital), a
mountain of Jerusalem:--Zion. IN SION (1)Ps
65:1.”
Do
not give up your stand on the Word of God. God promised to preserve His Word pure
for every generation. Psalms 12:6-7 says, “6 The
words of the LORD are pure words:
as silver tried in a furnace of earth, purified seven times.
7 Thou
shalt keep them, O LORD, thou shalt preserve them from this generation for ever.”
