*JERUSALEM
Jerusalem will be the capital city from which Jesus Christ will reign over the entire earth. (Beginning of the End, p183)
Jerusalem means "city of peace." Although established through divine providence, the earthly Jerusalem is destroyed when it forsakes its Lord and relies on human strength. It is God's gift of peace, which is not a human achievement, but a fulfillment of divine promise. Paradise is regained in precisely the same way that itt was originally given -- as gift. The new Jerusalem is a symbol of that perfectly ordered society in which God and humanity are in right relationship. It is the city of peace, where God's love is finally and fully incarnate upon the earth. (ThemesNT, p159)
