God accepts us in the Holiness of Jesus Christ where we serve Him

“For on My holy mountain, on the mountain height of Israel,” says the Lord God, “there all the house of Israel, all of them in the land, shall serve Me; there I will accept them, and there I will require your offerings and the firstfruits of your sacrifices, together with all your holy things.” Ezekiel 20:40

The Holy Mountain of Israel is often referred to as Mount Zion. This is the City of the Living God known as the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth. As quoted, “But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the firstborn who are registered in heaven, to God the Judge of all, to the spirits of just men made perfect, to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel.” Hebrews 12:22-24

Followers of Jesus Christ have written may songs about the Holy Mountain, Mount Zion, like this verse, “We’re marching to Zion, beautiful, beautiful Zion; We’re marching upward to Zion, the beautiful city of God.” And also this one, “Mount Zion heavenly Jerusalem, I can hear the angels singing On Mount Zion, heavenly Jerusalem”

Today, there are no blessings for the Jewish people mentioned in the New Jerusalem, not unless they serve God through Jesus Christ and live in the Holy Spirit, as Jesus says, “…for I say to you, you shall see Me no more till you say, ‘Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord!’” Matthew 23:39 All of the blessings spoken for Israel in the Old Testament have been transferred to those who believe Jesus Christ, as quoted, “For they are not all Israel who are of Israel, nor are they all children because they are the seed of Abraham; but, “In Isaac your seed shall be called.” That is, those who are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God; but the children of the promise are counted as the seed…And if you are Christ’s, then you are Abraham’s seed, and heirs according to the promise.” Romans 9:6-8, Galatians 3:29

All of the house of Israel includes everyone who serves God through Jesus Christ in the presence of the Holy Spirit. We are those who will serve God on the “mountain height of Israel,” which is on Mount Zion, the Holy City of the New Jerusalem in the new heaven and earth. We are those who inherit eternal life by believing Jesus Christ. On this earth, we serve God through the Holiness of our Lord Jesus, and through Him we give our offerings to God. We give to Him the best from our spirit and soul, the firstfruits of the fruit of the Spirit, along with all Holy things. In other words, we don’t give God our leftovers or seconds because that would grieve the Holy Spirit. We do not make Jesus Christ second to the ways of the world, but He is always first and number one in our life.

‘I will not impose any other burden on you, except to hold on to what you have until I come.’”
“I am coming soon. Hold on to what you have, so that no one will take your crown.”
