“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.
