We conclude our discussion of Jerusalem and its continued history of controversy. While the cross was the eschatological moment of transformation for Jesus the individual, it was Jerusalem that symbolized transformation for the collective known as his body. From the cross to Jerusalem's end are the first century bookends of a total transformation and restoration of all things.
We look at Peter and John with regard for a New Heaven and Earth space wherein a New Jerusalem is to be found.
This New Jerusalem is without boundary regarding human spiritual identity. It is the home of our global family and therefore fulfills all that God promised to Abraham; a promise that God would bless all the nations.
We continue to encourage a conversation for a new earth, one that provides life for all beyond the multiplicity of us versus them paradigms, beyond doing and beyond religion.
