The two of us want to share a few images of the city with you.
As mentioned earlier, the City is curious amalgam of Past and Present, living side by side in a peculiar symbiotic relationship.
This applies to both the stones of the City, and the people of the city.
In a sense, they are heavily aware of the past; Both the city and the people are chained to the heritage.
The City cannot be separated from it's history, and the people live, as Kristin mentioned, with the emotive legacy of their forefathers.
That being said, both the city and the people lack a perspective on their future; a future more readily apparent to me, as a disciple of the Messiah.
I see the future.
I look at the Mt. of Olives, and i see a footprint of Judgement.
I look up, to the Heavens rolled back like a scroll.
I look at the dirty streets, and i see a Millennial City arrayed in perfection.
I look at the greedy shop venders in the bazaars, and i see instead markets of plenty and prosperity, with an abundance of food in a perfect economy.
Jerusalem is far from where it once was under it's former kings.
David subdued it and took it, and Solomon turned it into a Golden City.
And still Jerusalem is far from what it will be under it's New King.
The WORD OF GOD will subdue it, and YAHWEH-TSIDKENU will restore it to its Golden State.
We pray for the Day of the Lord.
- Matthew
