The City: Part 3 (Jerusalem)

Revelation 11:7-10 is an interesting passage in that it appears to conflate a number of cities into one identity. Jerusalem is called allegorically Sodom and Egypt. It becomes the city where Jesus was killed, sin ruled, and the Jews were held in captivity. This is the epitome of all that is evil in the power called "the city." Jacques Ellul has much to say about this in his seminal book "The Meaning of the City."
