Jerusalem… a city, the capital of Israel, which is comprised of the old Jerusalem and the new Jerusalem. The wall of Jerusalem has twelve gates, consistent with the twelve openings on the female body. The wall of Jerusalem symbolizes our physical flesh body. Whether we are born male or female, our body, being made of a woman, is female in gender. This is the law of God, as it is written, “God sent forth his Son, made of a woman, made under the law.” Jerusalem symbolizes the Heart.  The wall of Jerusalem serves to protect the temple, as the wall that is the flesh body serves to protect the heart. The physical heart gives life to the physical body. But it is the state of the spiritual heart, our emotional state that determines our life expectancy. The ark of covenant dwells inside the inner room of the sanctuary, as the holy spirit and word of truth, male, dwells in the inner room of the mind; in the heart, female, which determines the life and form of our ethereal or spiritual body. The male is the inner being and the female is the flesh, as it is written, “male and female created he them.”

Jesus answered and said unto them, Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up. Then said the Jews, Forty and six years was this temple in building, and wilt thou rear it up in three days? But he spake of the temple of his body. John 2:19-21. It takes a little over forty weeks, 40 and 6, or40.06, to build the physical temple or body. But the temple that is to be raised on the third day, which the world entered with the new millennium, is the spiritual temple. Resurrection is of the dead. So how can the spiritual temple be raised while the physical temple or body still lives? Through a spiritual death.  To understand what must die, if not the flesh body, we must look at the spiritual meaning of the city of Jerusalem, the capital of Israel;the official seat of government.  Israel is governed by Jerusalem. The Mind is governed by the Heart. It is what dwells inside the spiritual Jerusalem that must die.

For it is written that Abraham had two sons, the one by a bondmaid, the other by a freewoman. But he who was of the bondwoman was born after the flesh… Galatians 4:22,23. There are two Jerusalems; two Mothers. The mother exemplifies protection. One mother keeps us in bondage by protecting our word of error. The other mother keeps us free by protecting our word of truth. Abraham took Hagar before Sarah, as Jacob took Leah before Rachel. Hagar and Leah symbolize the bondage of flesh. Sarah and Rachel symbolize the freedom of spirit. We must deal with our bondage in order to be free. Jacob had twelve sons, the twelve tribes of Israel, which the twelve gates in the wall of Jerusalem, represent. The number twelve represents judgment, and judging the negative aspects of the ten sons by Leah and the bondwomen, symbolizing flesh and bondage, formulates to 12×10, which equals an hundred and twenty (120 ). And the Lord said, My spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be an hundred and twenty.  Genesis 6:3. And Moses was an hundred and twenty years old when he died…  Deuteronomy 34:7. The flesh formed by our word of error, which keeps us in bondage, dies at an hundred and twenty by overcoming the negative aspects of the first ten sons of Jacob. Moses symbolizes the Spirit of God, but the backside of the spirit is the law, as it is written, “And I will take away mine hand, and thou shalt see my back parts.” Exodus 33:23. The children of Israel would see the law, which they brought upon themselves by resisting the Spirit, which they illustrated by resisting Moses.

Jerusalem was destroyed in 70AD, as it is written, “seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.” Daniel 9:2.  The word seven means to be complete. An indefinite number, the destruction of our spiritual Jerusalem of bondage complete when we overcome the ten sons, which formulates to 7 x 10, which equals seventy. Even the wall of Jerusalem, our physical body, is given seventy years. Any extended time is called grace. If our sin remains, so too will the spiritual flesh it forms inside of our physical flesh, so that when our final circumcision takes place at our physical death, removing the foreskin that is our flesh body, we will find ourselves wrapped in this sinful flesh, seeing ourselves as naked in the spiritual realm. And the Lord called unto Adam, and said unto him, Where art thou? And he said, I heard thy voice in the garden, and I was afraid, because I was naked; and I hid myself. And he said, Who told thee that thou was naked: Has thou eaten of the tree, whereof I commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?  Genesis 3:9-11… I counsel thee to buy of me gold tried in the fire, that thou mayest be rich; and white raiment, that thou mayest be clothed, and that the shame of thy nakedness do not appear… Revelation 3:18. The gold tried in the fire symbolizes purification through the spiritual judgment (Matthew 19:28), which removes this sinful flesh. The white raiment symbolizes the word of truth, the spiritual wedding garment one is clothed with through this purification process. We must enter that spiritual temple called the heart, and drive out its unholy inhabitants. This spiritual eviction process is the desolation of our Jerusalem of bondage. The word Jerusalem means founded peaceful, but what kind of peace has man been seeking, and protecting?

And the temple was filled with smoke from the glory of God, and from his power; and no man was able to enter into the temple, till the seven plagues of the seven angels were fulfilled. Revelation 15:8. No man can enter the temple, symbolizing the heart, until the last plague is fulfilled from within. The seventh plague is hail, meaning to lower (as into a void), bringing down the wall of our old Jerusalem of bondage so that we can see into our heart… Because, even because they have seduced my people, saying, Peace; and there was no peace… ; and one built up a wall, and lo, others daubed it with untempered mortar: Say unto them which daubed it with untempered morter, that it shall fall: there shall be an overflowing shower: and ye, O great hailstones, shall fall… Thus will I accomplish my wrath upon the wall, and upon them that have daubed it with untempered morter, and will say unto you, The wall is no more, neither they that daubed it; To wit, the prophets of Israel which prophesy concerning Jerusalem, and which see visions of peace for her, and there is no peace, saith the Lord God.  Ezekiel 13:10-16. There is no peace in the city of Jerusalem because there is no peace in the Heart of man. There are only visions of peace; an illusion of peace generated through the deception of a mind that has yet to connect with the heart.  The war in the Middle East is evidence that man has not obtained peace in his heart. There is still a conflict that has yet to be resolved; the external revealing the internal, the physical revealing the spiritual… Jerusalem is builded as a city that is compact together: For there are set thrones of judgment, the thrones of the house of David. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: they shall prosper that love thee. Peace be within the wall, and prosperity within thy palaces. For my brethren and companion’s sakes, I will now say, Peace be within thee. Because of the house of the Lord our God I will seek thy good.  Psalms 122:3,5-8
