The scriptures no where state that Jesus was crucified in Jerusalem. They say that he was crucified at Golgotha which was approximately 2 kilometers outside Jerusalem.
Let examine this with Scripture:
Heb 13:11-13
(11) For the
bodies of those beasts, whose
blood is brought into the sanctuary by the high priest for sin, are
burned without the camp.
(12)
Wherefore Jesus also, that
he might sanctify the people with his own blood,
suffered without the gate.
(13) Let us
go forth therefore unto him without the camp, bearing his reproach.
According to Hebrews 13:12, the Lord was crucified just outside (Hebrews 13:12) of the city. It is a SPIRITUAL ILLUSTRATION that he was not crucified within the TRUE City, outside of the city is still
considered part of the city or area of Jerusalem.
Look at Revelation 11 as a good example:
Rev 11:1-2
(1) And there was given me a reed like unto a rod: and the angel stood, saying, Rise, and
measure the temple of God, and
the altar, and
them that worship therein.
(2) But the
court which is without the temple leave out, and
measure it not; for it is
given unto the Gentiles: and the
holy city shall they tread under foot forty and two months.
Much like the illustration of the Holy Temple, and the court is just outside, but it is also considered as part of the Holy Temple, even though it is not the true Temple. This is something we can understand when God said:
Rev 11:7-10
(7) And
when they shall have finished their testimony, the beast that ascendeth out of the bottomless pit shall make war against them, and shall overcome them,
and kill them.
(8) And
their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which
spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt,
where also our Lord was crucified.
(9) And
they of the people and kindreds and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies three days and an half, and
shall not suffer their dead bodies to be put in graves.
(10) And they that dwell upon the earth
shall rejoice over them, and
make merry, and shall
send gifts one to another;
because these two prophets tormented them that dwelt on the earth.
It is illustrating that the true witnesses (the true Church
within the external covenant Church) had become a people of derision or a people to be mocked, reviled, and scorned. Just as the faithful witnesses today are thought of as legalists who literally believe that God 'actually' means exactly what He says. People who actually faithfully adhere to His Word, and seek to keep the commandments of God,
not compromising doctrine for the sake of the flesh like the false prophets and christs who are deceiving professed Christians within with their doctrines. This is how the professed christians shall look upon [
blepo] these faithful who they have effectively killed (silenced) in the city. In other words, the disdain of these believers is not something they cannot recognize. Though they surely will deny that these witnesses they silenced taught the truth, they see what their actions have done to them, and recognize that
their voice has been eliminated. But they do not repent nor mourn the loss of their true witness in the Churches. These people who are from all over the world, from all kindreds (families), tongues (languages) and nations, who see the death of the witnesses in the wide ways do not care about them. We read that they do not bother to bury them. This is
symbolizing that the people of the world who have come up into the Church have no regret, and they do not mourn for the fact that the witnesses of truth have been silenced in the City. There is no repentance shown for what they have done.
In fact, the unsaved rejoice that the Word of life they brought has been silenced because these faithful witnesses of God tormented them. And the means of their torment was their testimony of fire from their mouths which would burn them. They are tired of hearing faithful witnesses warning about homosexualities, divorce and remarriage, propersity Gospel, etc as abominations. They wanted them to be silenced. Once the testimony of faithful witnesses is silenced in the church, the enemies actually REJOICED and exchange gifts by honoring each other instead of to God. This is symbolizing their showing reverent regard for each other. This should be for God, but now that they are free from the torment of God's Word, they honor themselves with whatever they like to believe in. In doing so they are serving a false god in the temple, rather than the true God of the Bible. They reject God's law and are serving themselves (lawless man, or the man of sin) and seek after gifts, the glory of men, rather than of God.
I believe is what is happening right now in many congregations of God all over the world. As a result, the judgment of the harlot is taking place. Only if you have spiritual eyes to see.
