I/W: 2026          General

Introduction

God is the architect of Zion, it’s his idea, and he gave all the instructions on how to set it up. His major contact with humanity routinely interconnects with Zion in some way.

What Is Zion? Where Eternity and Earth Meet

That said, if God is benevolent and concerned with humanity’s wellbeing, then Zion should be as well. This post will look at the good that has come from Zion, what it can accomplish, and how it can improve quality of life. The list is exhaustive but not all-inclusive. It primarily focuses on all the miracles produced in or out of Zion that better, or can better people’s lives. Millenniums after the last of these miracles occured, human progress to supplant them pales in comparison. Not to say progress hasn’t been made, it definitely has, but to emphasize the unparalleled value of these miracles.

But before getting into all this, it’s important to put in perspective that Zion’s lifespan of being set up properly is very short. It was rocky from the start at its establishment during the time of the Exodus around 1300 BC to 1500 BC (Ex 19:1, 20 Ex 32:1-4),. From there it went into a rapid decline to only reach its proper state for a very short time during the rein of Solomon, riding on the rein of his father David. He broke God’s command and this likely happened early in his kingship (Deut 17:17 1 Kin 11:1-4). Zion has had its ups and downs throughout its history with moments of glimmer and hope. The point being is this huge list comes mostly from a failed Zion, so imagine what a continually successful Zion would produce.

Most of the miracles performed are by Jesus. He had come before the Romans destroyed the temple. Zion was definitely not set up properly in his time. I wrote a post about his relationship to Zion and his aim of showing its potential.

It’s worth mentioning the positive impact of the Jewish people over history, which is in addition to what this post lists:

God’s Blessing Through Israel Proven True: A People and Ideology of Great Positive Impact

And now time for the list. I categorized it for simplification purposes.

The List

Free Food

There are many instances of more than enough food given to those who need it or just for them to have it. Access to free food has many benefits. For starters, it would solve the problems of world hunger and malnutrition. It would also free up people’s time as they won’t have to labor to produce or purchase it. This would ultimately improve everyone’s quality of life.

Water

During the Exodus epoch, there were several times the Israelites had no water to drink. In two instances, water came from a rock for them to drink, and in another, there was water that wasn’t drinkable (bitter) and it was made drinkable (sweet). Mind you, this would have been enough water provided for approximately 2.4 million people. (estimation based on four demographic quadrants based on one counted quadrant of able-bodied men in Nu 2:32). (This also applies to the manna/bread and quail below.)

The ramifications here are huge. Drinkable water can essentially and potentially be produced and accessed anywhere at any time, and undrinkable water can be made drinkable, such as ocean water.

 (Ex 17:6-7) – Water from rock instance 1
(Nu 20:11) – Water from rock instance 2
(Ex 15:22-25) – Purification of water, bitter water made sweet

Manna

When the Israelites were without food during the Exodus epoch, God rained down manna/bread continually and abundantly for them to eat.

(Ex 16:13-15) – Manna/bread falls from sky (heaven)

Fish

When the Israelites complained about only eating manna/bread that God had provided them, God blew with a wind quail onto the land for them to eat. There was so much that it was stacked around 3 feet high (2 cubits) and would take a day’s journey to travel one length of it. Additionally, Jesus visits his disciples fishing on a boat after his resurrection. They have not caught any fish and he tells them to cast their net on the right side of their boat. The result is they catch more fish in their net than they’re able to haul.

(Ex 16:13 Nu 11:31-32) – God blows quail to land from sea
(John 21:4-6) – Disciples fill net with fish after following Jesus’ direction

Almonds

God caused ripe almonds to grow on Aaron’s staff overnight. This opens up the possibility of all tree/plant grown food to be produced from wood not rooted in the ground and quickly. Very easy farming.

(Nu 17:8) – Almonds grow from Aaron’s staff

Food Cloning

On two separate occasions, Jesus cloned food for his audience who had to eat. Each time there was leftover food after everyone had eaten. The first occurance fed 5000 counted men from 5 bread loaves and 2 fish. The second occurance fed 4000 counted men from 7 bread loaves and a few small fish. Adding women and children to the mix, the occurances would easily go over 10,000 for the first and 8000 for the second. No more food supply shortages, no more logistics costs or waiting times, the possibilies are enormous.

(Mat 14:15-20 Mar 6:38-44 Luk 9:14-17 John 6:8-13) – Jesus feeds 5000 (counted men) from 5 bread loaves and 2 fish
(Mat 15:34-38 Mar 8:5-9) – Jesus feeds 4000 (counted men) from 7 bread loaves and a few small fish

Healing Sickness, Disease, and Physical Disabilities

Humanity’s ailments are among its greatest encumbrances. Out of Zion, there have been countless healings of both major and minor scale. The vast majority are attributed to Jesus. The ability to readily have ailments healed would be a huge contribution to quality of life.

Physical Disabilities

Paralysis

The ability to heal paralyzed persons. Jesus heals a paralytic who gets up and carries their bed (what they were lying on) at Jesus’ direction.

(Mat 9:2-8 Mar 2:10-12 Luk 5:24-25) – Jesus heals a paralytic

Blindness

On numerous occasions, Jesus heals blindness. It’s specified in one instance the person was born blind.

(Mat 9:27-30) – Jesus heals two blind men
(John 9:1-7) – Jesus heals man born blind
(Mark 8:22-25) – Jesus heals blind man
(Mat 20:30-34, Mar 10:51-52 Luk 18:40-43) – Jesus heals two (or one in Mark) blind men

Mutism

 (Mat 9:32-33 Luk 11:14) – Jesus heals a person who can’t speak

Deafness

(Mark 7:32-35) – Jesus heals a deaf man

Kyphosis

Jesus heals a woman who is permanently bent over and can’t straighten her back. He does this by laying his hands on her which causes her back to straighten.

(Luk 13:11-13) – Jesus heals woman with kyphosis

Withered Hand

(Mat 12:10,13 Mar 3:1,5 Luk 6:6,10) – Jesus heals a man’s withered hand

Disease

These days, several of these either have cures or treatments to lessen their effects. Worth noting, in Jesus’ time, they didn’t have such. Regardless, the ability to readily heal these conditions still squashes the present alternatives.

Invalid

Jesus heals a man specified as an invalid for 38 years. The man is immobilized by either possibly paralysis or a condition that’s weakned him to the point of immobilization. Jesus heals him, and the man gets up, picks up his bed, and walks, at Jesus’ direction.

(John 5:5-8) – Jesus heals an invalid

Blood Discharge

A woman suffering from a blood discharge for 12 years is healed by touching Jesus’ garment. Before this, she spent all her money on physicians for treatment, which caused her suffering, and had an end result of her being worse than when she originally sought their help.

(Mat 9:19-22 Mar 5:25-29 Luk 8:43-44) – Woman with blood discharge is healed

Restoring Consciousness

It’s not clear if the girl healed is dead, unconscious, in a coma, or something else. What is clear is people think she’s dead, including her father, and Jesus says she’s not dead but sleeping. People laugh at Jesus’s comment and direction for them to go away. Jesus takes the girl by the hand, she arises, and her consciousness is restored.

(Mat 9:23-26 Mar 5:38-42 Luk 8:52-55) – Jesus restores a girl’s consciousness

Edema

(Luk 14:2-4) – Jesus heals a man with edema (dropsy)

Epilepsy

(Mat 17:14-18 Mar 9:20-27 Luk 9:38-43) – Jesus heals a man’s son who regularly has seizures

Leprosy

Several times, leprosy is healed. A man with leprosy is healed by following Elisha’s direction to wash in the Jordan seven times. Jesus touches a man with leprosy and the leprosy leaves him immediately. Additionally, Jesus heals ten lepers at one time.

(2 Kin 5:9-14) – A man (Naaman) is healed of leprosy by following Elisha’s direction
(Mat 8:3 Mar 1:40-42 Luk 5:12-13) – Jesus heals a man with leprosy
(Luk 17:12-14) – Jesus heals ten lepers at once

Poison

In the desert during the Exodus epoch, God sends fiery serpents that bite and cause many Israelites to die, out of his anger at their complaining. The Israelites repent and plead to Moses to pray to God to remove the fiery serpents. God directs Moses to make a fiery serpent and set it on a pole, and informs him that whoever is bitten and looks at it will live. Moses makes the serpent out of bronze, sets it on a pole, and whoever that’s bitten looks at it, lives.

An assumption is they were poisoned by the serpents (snakes) that bit them, and the fiery description refers to the sensation of the bite, but this isn’t actually specified. This could just be due to their understanding at the time. Regardless, they’re healed of the bites that are killing them.

(Nu 21:8-9) = looking at bronze serpent heals deadly snake bites

Sickness

The healing of sickness of major and minor scale. Jesus heals Peter’s mother-in-law’s fever, causing her to go from lying in bed to serving them. On two other occasions, he heals a child with a fever, and a certurion’s sick servant, each of who are sick to the point of death.

(Mat 8:14-15 Mar 1:30-31 Luk 4:39) – Jesus heals Peter’s mother-in-law’s fever
(John 4:47-53) – Jesus heals child’s fever
(Mat 8:5-13 Luk 7:2,10) – Jesus heals centurion’s sick servant

And More

And much more. There are various occasions where it’s conveyed, many people were healed, with varying degrees of detail and specificity to what the conditions were.

(Mat 8:16-17 Mar 1:32-34 Luk 4:40) – Jesus heals many in Capernaum
(Mat 4:23-24) – Jesus heals many in Galilee
(Mat 9:35) – Jesus heals every disease and affliction in various places
(Luk 9:6) – Jesus’ disciples heal everywhere
(Mar 3:10) – Jesus had healed many
(Mat 12:15-16 Luk 6:17-19) – Jesus heals all who need healing in a great crowd from many places who came to see and hear him
(Mat 14:35-36 Mar 6:54-56) – Jesus heals in Gennesaret
(Mat 15:30-31) – Jesus heals many at a mountain near the Sea of Galilee

Resurrection of the Dead

On several occasions, the dead are raised to life. The ability for this to happen would make premature and tragic deaths a thing of the past.

(2 Kin 4:32-37) – Elisha raises a dead child to life
(Luk 7:12-15) – Jesus raises a dead young man to life
(John 11:38-44) – Jesus raises a dead man (Lazarus) to life
(Mat 28:1-11,20 Mar 16:2-7 Luk 24:1-6,39-42 John 20:1-16) – Jesus is resurrected to life after being dead and put in a tomb

Ultimate Justice Enforcement

The greatest justice force on the planet. Aside from God bringing the world’s superpower, Egypt, to its knees with the ten plagues during the Exodus, there are several examples of the ability to enforce justice that aren’t matched. With the ability for the below to be performed, justice will be served everywhere.

God Stops Egyptian Army

After Pharaoh frees the Israelites from slavery after the ten plagues in Exodus, he relinquishes on this and goes after them with an army. God stops their pursuit. First, he looks down on them from a pillar of fire and cloud which slows them. Then he directs Moses to collapse the Red Sea on the Egyptian army pursuing them, after the Israelites have crossed, stopping them for good.

(Ex 14:24-25) – God slows Egyptian army
(Ex 14:26-28) – Moses collapses Red Sea on Egyptian army

Earth Swallows Israelite Rebels

In the desert during the Exodus epoch, a cell of Israelites rise up and anger at Moses and Aaron for, ultimately, following God’s directions, falsely accusing them with misinformation. At the heart of the confrontation, they’ve essentially nominated themselves to a position of knowing better than God and that their choices should supersede his within Zion. In response, God opens the earth and it swallows them, and he also consumes their associates with fire.

(Nu 16:32-35) – Earth swallows rebels and fire consumes their associates

Elijah and the Consuming Fire

King Ahaziah sends messengers to inquire from Baal-zebub, the god of Ekron, if he will recover from his sickness. God directs Elijah to intercept the messengers, question their consultation tactics, and inform Ahaziah he will die. Ahaziah sequentially sends three groups of fifty men, each with their own captain. The first two groups are consumed with fire.

(2 Kin 1:9-14) – Ahaziah’s men sent to Elijah are consumed by fire

The Angel of the Lord

The king of Assyria’s army camps with intentions to seize Jerusalem from the Israelites (Kingdom of Judah). God has Isaiah inform King Hezekiah that the army and their weapons will not enter or harm Jerusalem in even the slightest. The angel of the Lord strikes down 185,000 in the Assyrian camp that night.

An army wants to conquer land and subject the people in it to their own hostile, arbitrary, oppressive, unfair, and/or irrational laws, they can be taken out by a power unparalled to any army.

(2 Kin 19:35 Isa 37:36) – 185,000 killed by angel of the Lord

Transcendence of Spacetime

The regular known course of existence on earth involves adherence to the laws of spacetime (3D moving through 4D). In simple terms, meaning, adherence to the laws of linear movement, pertaining to humans and all their surroundings. But in Zion, there are several occurrences where the laws of spacetime are not adhered to, or appear not to be.

Eternal Life

There are four recorded individuals who didn’t die: They are Enoch (Ge 5:24), Moses (probably), Elijah, and Jesus. Of these, the latter three happened in Zion. The first, before God’s spirit left humans so Zion wasn’t necessary yet.

While their state after departure isn’t fully clear, this is the closest to eternal life seen. When they departed, they no longer adhered to the laws of spacetime.

The scripture says Moses died but also he was healthy and his grave site couldn’t be found. An assumption is God took him, and the author says he died, as that’s the natural course of a person when their life ends, seeing Moses’ absence as his death. Typically, healthy people don’t just die all of a sudden, nor do people vanish who have died.

(Deut 34:5-7) – Moses’ grave site unknown
(2 Kin 2:11) – Elijah departs to heaven
(Mar 16:19 Luk 24:51-52) – Jesus departs to heaven

Communication

The ability to communicate in person with persons not on earth and in locations that aren’t your current one. Ezekiel, while in Babylon, sees the temple in Israel in visions where he communicates with a man and is shown the temple in great detail, which he records. Daniel is visited by various ETs who communicate with him, including the future of his people, Israel. Somewhat similarly, Jesus speaks to Moses and Elijah on top of a mountain.

(Ez 40:1-4) – Ezekiel shown the temple in Israel
(Dan 8:14-17) – Daniel visited by ETs
(Mat 17:1-3 Mar 9:2-4 Luk 9:29-31) – Jesus speaks to Moses and Elijah

Teleportation

In one instance, Jesus enters a boat with his disciples in it by walking on the water to get there, and while in the water, it’s then immediately at the land. The way it’s written conveys it teleported there. In another instance, after Jesus’ resurrection, he enters a place where his discriples are, of which is specified the doors are locked. The implication is he teleported inside or walked through the walls. It’s always possible there was no roof and he climbed the walls, or just knocked on the door. But the way it’s written implies otherwise.

(John 6:19-21) – Boat teleportation
(John 20:19-20) – Jesus gets past locked doors

Miscellaneous

Physics of Matter

Movement of water, the parting of the Red Sea so the Israelites can pass it. The halting of the sun and/or earth’s movements to lengthen the day. It’s written from human perspective, so it’s unclear exactly what happened.

(Ex 14:21-22) – Red Sea parted
(Josh 10:12-14) – Sun and/or earth’s movements stopped

Instant Fire

On several occasions, there is instant fire that burns offerings. For starters, fire can be used for heat so all places in cold climates can be heated freely. But the much larger use is heat’s production of energy. Instant fire would unlock the greatest, most efficient, source of energy the world has ever seen. In two instances, the offerings were wet, and in one of those, drenched.

(Lev 9:22-24) – God burns offering in front of Israelites
(Judg 6:21) – Angel burns meat and unleavened cakes
(1 Kin 18:33-38) – Elijah, God, consume wet alter/offering with fire
(2 Chr 7:1) – Fire consumes offering at first temple after Solomon’s prayer

Gravity Defiance

People and axe heads sink in water, but in the two examples below, they don’t. This would transform transportation, along with likely having many other great ramifications.

 (2 Kin 6:4-7) – Iron axe head floats after Elisha’s action
(Mat 14:24-29 Mar 6:48-50 Joh 6:18-20) – Jesus and Peter walk on water

Fire Immunity

Three Israelite men are sentenced to death in a furnace for not falling down and worshiping a tall golden image. A fourth person appears in the furnace with them and the three come out alive and unharmed.

(Dan 3:19-27) – Three men survive furnace unharmed

Tame Animals

Daniel is sentenced to be put into a lion’s den, for making petition to the God of Israel instead of to the king, a new law created by officials to get rid of him. He survives the lion’s den and is unharmed, from his description of God sending his angel and shutting the lion’s mouths.

Animal violence toward humans would be no more. There’s also a huge benefit to the farming industry, as animals eating crops wouldn’t be a worry anymore.

(Dan 6:19-22) – Daniel survives lion’s den

Matter Transmutation

Endless, or nearly endless, possibilities

(Ex 4:2-4) – Staff turned to serpent
(Ex 7:10) – Staff turned to serpent in front of Pharaoh
(Ex 7:20) – All water in the Nile turned to blood
(John 2:6-9) – Jesus turns water to wine

Weather Alteration

No more destruction fromnatural weather disasters. And no more planning with the contingency of weather conditions.

(Mat 8:23-27 Mar 4:37-39 Luk 8:23-24) – Jesus calms a storm

Free Money

Tax collectors suggestively request to Peter for Jesus to pay a tax. Jesus instructs Peter to catch a fish with a hook to find a coin in its mouth, and use that to pay the tax for him and Peter.

If the floodgates of endless free money were opened, it would lead to hyper inflation like has never been seen before. Also, it would collapse, or nearly collapse, the labor market. Ultimately, the effects would be far more harmful than good. But I think knowing free money is possible is a comforting thought.

 (Mat 17:24-27) – Coin in fish mouth

Tree Death

If there are trees causing more harm than good, they can readily be withered, if conditions are advantageous to do so.

(Mat 21:18-19 Mar 11:13-14) – Jesus withers fig tree

And More

It’s always possible there were other miracles that happened in ancient Israel that aren’t recorded in the Hebrew Bible. And the book of John says Jesus did many other things, with a supposition that the world couldn’t contain the amount of books covering it all if they were all written. That’s a lot.

(John 21:25) – Jesus did many other things

Conclusion

With Zion also comes God on the ground in real time, guiding the House of Israel and the world at large. Because he’s of greater knowing and power than humans, along with good-intentioned, it’s beneficial.

Wow, what a list.
