“You have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem.” HEBREWS 12:22
All
the prophets pointed to Jerusalem as the place where the Messiah would
rule and reign. On the surface this seems
self-evident. The trouble with this is that the nature of the Kingdom is
spiritual, and so the location of the Kingdom is likewise spiritual. A
spiritual kingdom is not going to have an earthly capital. Neither will
it have an earthly temple, an earthly priesthood, or an earthly King. It
will be in the earth, but it will not rise up from the earth.
Earthly
problems cannot be solved with earthly solutions. Earthly problems
require Heavenly
solutions. The fact that John saw the New Jerusalem coming down out of
Heaven and settling upon the earth shows that this is something
established by God Himself, quite beyond the command and control of man.
