#79 What the Bible Says About Jerusalem: A City Set on a Hill
Napsal(a) Jonathan S. Rose
Title: A City Set on a Hill-the Stronghold of Jerusalem
Topic:
Summary: We look at the biblical account of Jerusalem--the historical account of its eventual conquest in the early Old Testament, and the prophetic things said of it in the later portions of the Old Testament and in the New. Paul's statement in Galatians is key: that there are two Jerusalems, one of which is "above," that is, spiritual.

Isaiah 29:1-8
1
Woe to Ariel! Ariel, the city where David encamped! Add year to year; let the feasts come around;
2
then I will distress Ariel, and there will be mourning and lamentation. She shall be to me as an altar hearth.
3
I will encamp against you all around you, and will lay siege against you with posted troops. I will raise siege works against you.
4
You will be brought down, and will speak out of the ground. Your speech will mumble out of the dust. Your voice will be as of one who has a familiar spirit, out of the ground, and your speech will whisper out of the dust.
5
But the multitude of your foes will be like fine dust, and the multitude of the ruthless ones like chaff that blows away. Yes, it will be in an instant, suddenly.
6
She will be visited by Yahweh of Armies with thunder, with earthquake, with great noise, with whirlwind and storm, and with the flame of a devouring fire.
7
The multitude of all the nations that fight against Ariel, even all who fight against her and her stronghold, and who distress her, will be like a dream, a vision of the night.
8
It will be like when a hungry man dreams, and behold, he eats; but he awakes, and his hunger isn't satisfied; or like when a thirsty man dreams, and behold, he drinks; but he awakes, and behold, he is faint, and he is still thirsty. The multitude of all the nations that fight against Mount Zion will be like that.
