Jerusalem is called many names in Revelation.......
Queen, Widow, Harlot, Great City.......
Is earthly Jerusalem the "great city" in the Book of Revelation?
Excellent com7
Galatians 4 and Revelation go together like frosting on a cake............
Galatians 4:
21Tell me, you that desire to be under the law, don't you listen to the law?
22For it is written that Abraham had two sons, one by the handmaid, and one by the free woman.
23However, the son by the handmaid was born according to the flesh, but the son by the free woman was born through promise.
24These things contain an allegory,
for these are two Covenants.
One is from Mount Sinai, bearing children to bondage, which is Hagar.
25For this Hagar is Mount Sinai in Arabia,
and answers to the Jerusalem that exists now, for She is in bondage with her children.
26But the Jerusalem that is above is free, which is the mother of us all.
27For it is written, "Rejoice, you barren who don't bear. Break forth and shout, you that don't travail. For more are
the children of the desolate[OC than of her[NC] who has a husband."
28Now we, brothers, as Isaac was, are children of promise.
29But as then, he who was born according to the flesh persecuted him who was born according to the Spirit, so also it is now.
30However what does the Scripture say? "Throw out the handmaid and her son, for the son of the handmaid will not inherit with the son of the free woman."
31So then, brothers, we are not children of a handmaid, but of the free woman.
====================================
Revelation 18:
7 ‘As much as
She glorifies
Herself and indulges so much, be giving to
Her torment<929> and sorrow<3997>. That in
Her heart She is saying:
'I am sitting a Queen, and a Widow not I am being, and sorrow not no I shall seeing.'
Lam 1:1
How deserted lies the City, once so full of people!
How like a widow is She, who once was great among the nations!
She who was queen among the provinces has now become a slave
