VCO and cv5, the word of God says that the city of David is west of Gihon (2 Chronicles 33:14). The first and second temples (and the temple about to be built, in the same place, only slightly bigger - but the center of the holy of holies will be in the same place (1 Kings 6:16,20, Ezekiel 41:4) as the first two, the top of mount Zion (2 Samuel 24:16-25, 1 Chronicles 21:15-30, 22:1, 2 Chronicles 3:1)) were northwest of Gihon - because they were not in Zion (1 Kings 8:1, 2 Chronicles 5:2). That is why the "molten sea" (1 Kings 7:23, 2 Chronicles 4:2) was placed at the southeast corner of the temple (1 Kings 7:39, 2 Chronicles 4:10) - to be in line for the "drawers of water" (Joshua 9:21,23,27) to fill up, coming from Gihon.
The scripture:
Beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth, is mount Zion, on the sides of the north, the city of the great King. Psalms 48:2
means when all of the people will come to worship Jesus every year (Zechariah 14:16,17), and every beautiful and wonderful thing that will happen there, after Jesus comes back. It is also why the beast will place the image of the beast (Daniel 11:31, 12:11, Matthew 24:15, Mark 13:14, Revelation 13:14,15) at the northern inner court gate (Ezekiel 8:3,5, 40:35), because he will think it is beautiful. And "the hill thereof" (Isaiah 31:4) means the hill is right there, 469.27529639461099593476380428023 feet away from mount Zion,
c² = a² + b²
c² = 120² + 250²

c = 277.30849247724094899380340037242 great cubits = 469.27529639461099593476380428023 feet (1.69225 foot × 277.30849247724094899380340037242 = 469.27529639461099593476380428023) = 143.03511034107743156091600754461 meters (469.27529639461099593476380428023 feet × 0.3048 = 143.03511034107743156091600754461) = 0.07723278096170487665276242308025 nautical mile (469.27529639461099593476380428023 feet ÷ 5,280 = 0.08887789704443390074522041747732 statute mile, 0.08887789704443390074522041747732 statute mile × 0.86897624190064794816414686825051 = 0.07723278096170487665276242308025)
the center of "the most holy place" (Ezekiel 41:4) (Psalms 2:6) - not down the hill off in the city of David, because the first two temples never were in the city of David (1 Kings 8:1, 2 Chronicles 5:2). They were north of it. And the only reason it is called mount Zion now is because the LORD is building it up (Psalms 102:16), as it was told:
O Zion, that bringest good tidings, get thee up into the high mountain; O Jerusalem, that bringest good tidings, lift up thy voice with strength; lift it up, be not afraid; say unto the cities of Judah, Behold your God! Isaiah 40:9
That is why it is called mount Zion now. Jesus is about to reign from there.
Ezekiel was placed down on top of the "mountain" (Ezekiel 40:2), what is called the Foundation Stone today. He did not get placed down and then moved (until he moved in Ezekiel 40:6 - because of Ezekiel 40:5). He was placed down once, as he saw "the frame of a city on the south." (Ezekiel 40:2) And right there, on the top of the mountain, a man stood in the northern outer "gate" (Ezekiel 40:3,20), because the city was toward "the south" (Ezekiel 40:2). So from the center of the Foundation Stone due south exactly 250 great cubits, then due west exactly 120 great cubits from there, is the center of "the most holy place" (Ezekiel 41:4) of the temple, the top of mount Zion, the center of the world. And the reason the word of God says "And behold a wall on the outside of the house round about," (Ezekiel 40:5) is because as in Revelation 11:2 where it says:
But the court which is without the temple leave out, and measure it not; for it is given unto the Gentiles: and the holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months. Revelation 11:2
that means the wall will be torn down during the 3 1/2 year tribulation (Daniel 12:11,12, Matthew 24:15-28, Mark 13:14-23, Luke 21:20-24), and after Jesus comes back (Zechariah 14:10 - the reason it was "a very high mountain" (Ezekiel 40:2) in Ezekiel's vision), it will have to be rebuilt, because after tearing it down, they will try to tear down the temple, but Jesus won't let them (Isaiah 31:4, Revelation 19:11-21, Zechariah 14:12).
Glory to God.
