Two Jerusalem's are mentioned in scriptures. One is EARTHLY home of all believers during the Millennial period. The other is HEAVENLY - the New Jerusalem, or Celestial City, which hovers over the earth for 1,000 years. Although its history is one of war and destruction,
Jerusalem means "City of Peace" or "Foundation of Peace." The Jewish cry for peace in Jerusalem is sincere, finding its roots in the promise given through Moses. Jerusalem will finally become the City of Peace and capital of the world when Christ, who is our peace returns.
Christ has been preparing this New Jerusalem for 2,000 years. This magnificent masterpiece descending toward earth reminds one of the elegant beauty of a bride on her wedding day.
