Our Object Is To See That Because Jerusalem Is So Closely Related To God, Indeed Has Been Brought Into Being By Him, Her Values Must Be Pre-eminently Spiritual And Divine. Back Of Her History There Lie Those Elements Which Are Not Of This World, Nor Are They Merely Of Time, But Are Heavenly And Eternal. Before We Can Consider The City Particularly We Must View The Land As A Whole, Because Very Largely The City Is The Concentration Of The Features Of The Land. We Note That In Hebrews 11 The City Which Hath Foundations Is Closely Related To The Heavenly Country (verses 10, 16), So That The City Is But The Concentration Of The Country. That Is An Important Thing To Bear In Mind As We Go On.
