Zion??

[smooticus]

So i know zion is a rastafarian thing, but i was reading an article about the LDS church today and they said something about Massachusettes being the future land of zion. Anyone want to educate me about what zion is.

Just curious

its not just a rasta thing

In addition to its literal geographical meaning (Jerusalem), the term Zion has often been used as a metaphor for the Land of Israel, any other promised land, or any other distant but much wanted goal.

its just a general term for "the promised land". the word has been used at least once in pretty much every religion, and each religion's views of "the promised land" differs.but yeah

just so you know, its tradionally known as and refered to the RASTAFARI movement cause hardcore rastas got rid of isms chisms isns stuff like that.
