The Story of the Vision by D. Magiera

It was vague and without detail. I only knew that it was a "mountain" of a building with
many rooms and a huge auditorium at its center. What I could see clearly was the power of
God coming down from Heaven like a huge shaft of light, passing through its center skylight
and pouring upon the people. But the vision was too large and too overwhelming for a young
man just three years old in the Lord. The vision consumed me. I was unable to function
responsibly. As a result, I came to the point that I had to tear it from my mind and let it
die. It was a painful death and separation. It took about six months, but I finally returned
to my responsibilities and everyday life. In fact, I did such a good job of dying to the
vision that I totally, and completely, forgot about it for the next twenty years.



Two decades later, while rummaging through some old file folders, I came upon a
faded polaroid photo of my first attempt at a model. It was a simple little pyramid-shaped
form about 12 inches square made out of white card stock, and not much to look at, but it
reminded me of the vision once again. It didn't bother me like before so I shared the
picture with my wife. To my surprise, Instead of telling me that the idea was"pretty far out
there," she said, "Let's pray and ask God for a confirmation.

Shortly after, the confirmations began coming - some quite supernaturally! That terrible,
life-consuming vision was once again staring me right between the eyes! I died to it once
and I didn't ever want to go through that again. But God kept encouraging me through
"rhema words" during my morning reading. I was left no option but to commit to it again and
attempt to manifest a model of the vision.

In October of 2000, construction of the Mount Zion model commenced. It would be a
"learn-as-you-go" project because I had no training in architecture and had never built a
model of a building before! Our custom home-building company, Galatian Homes, hadn't even
been conceived yet. In any event, without a clear idea of what the building was to look like,
I began with the entry doors and the daunting task of creating a 1/2" scale model of this
quarter-square mile building began. God was faithful, and filled me with invention and inspiration.
In the same week that I began the project, the Lord revealed to me that the building was to
be called "Mount Zion."

As the model progressed, the Lord would show me a new portion of the building design
as each area was completed. Within a year, I could "see" the entire building and many of
its architectural features. After nearly a year of 12-hour model construction days, the entire
building had been revealed and a major portion of its design has been constructed. Among
he many features of MOUNT ZION -- City On A Hill is the "Tabernacle of David,"
recreated in actual size just behind and above the center platform. Prayer and praise chambers
for intercessors and worshipers will be integrated into its design. Prayer and worship will take
place 24 hours a day. Precast angel panels are 8' tall from wing tip to wing tip.

Mount Zion has four identical sides and entrances: (Zion East, Zion West, Zion North and
Zion South). Each entrance, with its adjacent 1750 bridal chambers and suites (7,000 guest
rooms in total), is approximately one-quarter of a mile wide and over fourteen stories tall.
Beneath its glass dome is a 70,000 seat auditorium with a mile of water falls and gardened
walk paths around its perimeter. And above the platform is a life-size recreation of the
Tabernacle of David. 10,000 (8' high) angels are manifest in pre-cast panels throughout the
interior and exterior walls.

Find The Connection

"It is a matter of how much you want to receive from Me, how much you want to enjoy My gifts.
You have been led to the bride. You have grown and now should want to shout and take all of Me
and worship and work for Me. There are couples like you, young, fresh, loving Me. Join them in
their walk towards Me. Help them, support them, enjoy them. All are My children. No competition,
no criticism among all. Just love and joy.

FIND THE CONNECTION … because the connection is there. I have laid in front of you, very close
to you, many opportunities for you to receive My blessings. I have blessings for all of you,
which will come from remote places, from diverse places. I have set a plan. I have put steps
before you to climb, from which you could reach, from which you will be able to do things you
were not able to do before.

And this is Me talking. It is Me, the Father of Creation. I have decided to tell you these
things. It is up to you, of course, to decide to obey, to work, to search, to ponder and find
My will. There are many opportunities to receive My blessings.

There are many needs to fulfill. There are many doors to open. There are many connections to
make. You enjoy many blessings in this country, and I need you to share them constantly. Many
things are happening and will continue happening. I need all My children working for all My
children. Unity among brothers, among countries, among every child of Mine … here, there
and everywhere.

Find the connection."

This "word" is given for all who embrace the vision and purpose of Bride of Christ Ministries. - D. Magiera

Hear the Scriptures

These Scriptures came to light during the one-year construction of the Mount Zion model.

"But in the last days it shall come to pass, that the mountain of the house of the Lord shall be established in the top of the mountains, and it shall be exalted above the hills; and people shall flow unto it. And many nations shall come and say, Come, and let us go up to the mountain of the Lord, and to the house of the God of Jacob, and he will teach us of his ways, and we will walk in his paths: for the law shall go forth of Zion, and the word of the Lord from Jerusalem." (Micah 4:1,2)

"In that day I will raise up the tabernacle of David that is fallen, and close up the breaches thereof; and I will raise up his ruins, and I will build it as in
the days of old." ( Amos 9:11)

"And I will bring the blind by a way that they knew not; I will lead them in paths that they have not known: I will make darkness light before them, and crooked things straight. These things will I do unto them, and not forsake them." (Isaiah 42:16)

"But now thus saith the Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and he that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art mine. When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee. For I am the Lord thy God, the Holy One of Israel, thy Savior: I gave Egypt for thy randsom, Ethiopia and Seba for thee. Since thou wast precious in my sight, thou hast been honorable, and I have loved therefore will I give men for thee, and people for thy life."

"Fear not: for I am with thee: I will bring thy seed from the east; and gather thee from the west; I will say to the north, Give up; and to the south,
Keep not back: bring my sons from far, and my daughters from the ends of the earth; Even every one that is called by my name: for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him. Bring forth the blind people that have eyes, and the deaf that have ears. Let all the nations be gathered together, and let the people be assembled: who among them can declare this, and show us former things? let them bring forth their witnesses, that they may be justified: or let them hear and say, It is truth."( Isaiah 43:1-9)

"Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise (wise virgins) shall understand." (Daniel 12:10)
