Advent Reading - December 21

Shout for joy and be glad, O daughter of Zion;
behold I come that I may dwell in the midst of you.
Then many nations shall cleave to Jehovah.
(Zechariah 2:10,11)

Exult greatly, O daughter of Zion;
resound, O daughter of Jerusalem;
behold, your King comes to you, just.
(Zechariah 9:9)

AC 2362

There are two affections, namely, of good and of truth.
The former, or the affection of good,
constitutes the celestial church,
and is called in the Word the “daughter of Zion,”
and also the “virgin daughter of Zion;”
but the latter, or the affection of truth,
constitutes the spiritual church,
and is called in the Word the “daughter of Jerusalem.”
