Zion.
the mountain.
 He would cause Zion (Jerusalem) to be “plowed like a field” so that it would “become heaps.” In history, the Assyrians never touched Jerusalem, much less did they plow it like a field—but the Babylonians did. This shows that the Spirit really had the future day in mind when the King of the North will come in and devastate the land. (The Prophecies of Micah by B. Anstey)
