>>>Babylon is symbolic of Man’s effort to replace or overthrow God.<<<

Where does it say that?

>>>Jerusalem? No. Why? Because God has a special place for Jerusalem, not based on it’s or it’s inhabitant’s behavior.<<<

Is that why it was completely destroyed and leveled in 70 AD, to the point that soldiers plowed salt into the soil? The word desolate took on a new meaning after the destruction of Jerusalem and the accompanying slaughter and starvation that killed over 1.1 million people. It doesn’t sound so special to me.

New Jerusalem, on the other hand, now that sounds special.

>>>Once God makes a promise, it’s done.<<<

What was that promise?

You have some big surprises coming. Jerusalem, the one that is on the map today, is the same one that you think, I was destroyed. Maybe not special to you, but it is special to the only One that matters. Ps 122:6-9
