What does the Zabur say of Zionists?

What the Zabur says of Zionists

Islam, like many other religions, claim to stem from the Bible, and from the faith of Abraham, to claim their legitimacy. Islam, much like Mormonism, claims that the Bible has been corrupted by Christians and Jews, but it does regard as holy three parts of the Bible, the Torat (Torah ~first five books), the Zabur (Psalms), and the Injil (Gospel ~ though Islam denies the very tenets of the Gospel).

This morning in my devotion time, I was reading in the Psalms, and struck by the beautiful poetry used to describe the place which Yhwh chose for His name to dwell, where king Solomon built a great and beautiful temple to worship this King of heaven and earth. But its funny, today reading the headlines of our current day media, they vilify the place and the people of the Lord’s choosing! Should that be a surprise?

Muslims vilify all those who love Jerusalem, Israel and the Jews, and support them as God’s chosen people, and wish their success, happiness and fulfillment (shalom), as Zioinists. Since the Qur’an “originates” from the Bible, if indeed it does… let’s see what the Bible, in particular, the Zabur, says about those Zionists.

A Psalm of the sons of Korah. A Song.

1 His foundation is in the holy mountains. 2 The LORD loves the gates of Zion
More than all the other dwelling places of Jacob. 3 Glorious things are spoken of you,
O city of God. Selah . 4 "I shall mention Rahab and Babylon among those who know Me;
Behold, Philistia and Tyre with Ethiopia :
'This one was born there.' " 5 But of Zion it shall be said, "This one and that one were born in her";
And the Most High Himself will establish her. 6 The LORD will count when He registers the peoples,
"This one was born there." Selah. 7 Then those who sing as well as those who play the flutes shall say,
"All my springs of joy are in you."
Psalms 87:1-7 (NASB95)

5 How blessed is the man whose strength is in You,
In whose heart are the highways to Zion! 6 Passing through the valley of Baca they make it a spring ;
The early rain also covers it with blessings. 7 They go from strength to strength,
Every one of them appears before God in Zion.
Psalms 84:5-7 (NASB95)

It seems the Zabur portrays Zion and those who love the place of God’s “holy habitation,” in a positive light. How then are those who love the Lord and the place of His choosing cast in a negative light, unless the religion is not truly of the God of Abraham. 
So according to God's word, being a Zionist (a lover of Zion, and one who desires good for the people of Israel), is a good, desireable, and godly trait!
