>>the Church is the city of God, the new Jerusalem!<<
Where do you get that from? That cant possibly be true.
the OT contains types and shadows, the reality came in the NT. it means “city of peace” Jesus is our peace, thru His Sacrifice we are reconciled to the Father. Since the Church is the Body of Christ on earth, then The Church is the New Jerusalem!
God is not interested in geography, He is interested in souls! Jerusalem is the Church.....Babylon is the church of the unsaved!
