Rev 11. We’re nearing the final furlong; the bride is making herself ready because she is spiritually attuned that the harlot is about to be judged, Jerusalem is referred to as both a harlot and Yahusha’s bride, here in this teaching we'll discover the Sode spiritual mystery between the carnal self and the spiritual self.
8 And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the Great City, which spiritually is called Sedom and Mitzrayim, where also our Master was crucified.
THE GREAT CITY
Prov 23:7 ‘as a man thinks, so is he’
Two choices how to live, how to think, two destinies are presented for us encapsulated in Jerusalem.
Jerusalem the harlot Isa 1:21
Will we allow weapons to be formed against us, will we allow our thoughts to be scattered and ploughed to the ground? What kind of harvest will can we possible produce if we focus on a walled in and divided mentality?
We can choose another way!
Jerusalem the bride. Jer 2:2
We can live in the blessings which lead us securely forward under the raised arms into the full revelation that the Son has in these times.
Rom 7:1 Or are you ignorant, brothers; for I SPEAK TO THOSE WHO KNOW THE LAW-THE BOL; that the law has dominion over a man AS LONG AS HE LIVES (Deut. 24)? 2 For the married woman was bound by law to the living husband. BUT IF THE HUSBAND DIES, she is set free FROM THE LAW OF HER HUSBAND(BOL). 3 So then if, while her husband lives, she is married to another man, she shall be called an ADULTERESS (Deut. 24). But if the husband dies, she is free from the law, so that she is no ADULTERESS by becoming another man’s wife. 4 So, my brothers, you also have become dead to the law(The law of adultery, Not the Laws of Moses) by the body of Christ so that you should be married to Another, even to Him raised from the dead, that we should bring forth fruit to God.
Mat 15:24 But He answered and said, I am not sent except to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.

…and finally,What “great city” was Yahusha crucified in? Jerusalem!
The only references to Great <3173> City <4172> in the Greek are in the Revelation. The first reference definitely refers to Jerusalem “where their Master was crucified.”
Revelation 11:8 and their dead bodies will lie in the street of the great <3173> city <4172> which is allegorically called Sodom and Egypt, where their Master was crucified.
Is it possible, even tightly probable that Mystery Babylon is Jerusalem where Yahusha was killed according to Isaiah?
Isa. 1:10 Hear the word of the יהוה, ye princes of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our Elohim, ye people of Gomorrah….V.21 How is the faithful city become a harlot! It was full of judgment; righteousness lodged in it, but now murderers.
Revelation 16:19 The great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell, and God remembered great Babylon, to make her drain the cup of the fury of his wrath.
Revelation 17:18 And the woman that you saw is the great city which has dominion over the kings of the earth.”
Revelation 18:10 they will stand far off, in fear of her torment, and say, “Alas! alas! thou great city, thou mighty city, Babylon! In one hour has thy judgment come.” 16 “Alas, alas, for the great city that was clothed in fine linen, in purple and scarlet, bedecked with gold, with jewels, and with pearls! 18 and cried out as they saw the smoke of her burning, “What city was like the great city?” 19 And they threw dust on their heads, as they wept and mourned, crying out, “Alas, alas, for the great city where all who had ships at sea grew rich by her wealth! In one hour she has been laid waste. 21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So shall Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and shall be found no more;
Matthew 23:34 Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from town to town, 35 that upon you may come ALL the righteous blood shed on earth, from the blood of innocent Abel to the blood of Zechari’ah the son of Barachi’ah, whom you murdered between the sanctuary and the altar. 36 Truly, I say to you, all this will come upon this generation. 37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not! 38 Behold, your house is forsaken and desolate. 39 For I tell you, you will not see me again, until you say, ‘Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord.'” (also Luke 11:49-51)
Revelation 17:5 and on her forehead was written a name of mystery: “Babylon the great, mother of harlots and of earth’s abominations.” 6 And I saw the woman, drunk with the blood of the saints and the blood of the martyrs of Jesus. When I saw her I marveled greatly.
Revelation 18:21 Then a mighty angel took up a stone like a great millstone and threw it into the sea, saying, “So shall Babylon the great city be thrown down with violence, and shall be found no more…24 And in her was found the blood of prophets and of saints, and of ALL who have been slain on earth.”
Revelation 19:2 for his judgments are true and just; he has judged the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication, and he has avenged on her the blood of his servants.”
Matthew 23:37 “O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, killing the prophets and stoning those who are sent to you! How often would I have gathered your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you would not! 38 Behold, your house is forsaken and desolate.
Matthew 24:1 Jesus left the temple and was going away, when his disciples came to point out to him the buildings of the temple. 2 But he answered them, “You see all these, do you not? Truly, I say to you, there will not be left here one stone upon another, that will not be thrown down.”
Matthew 24:3 As he sat on the Mount of Olives, the disciples came to him privately, saying, “Tell us, when will this be, and what will be the sign of your coming and of the close of the age?”
Luke 21:20 “But when you see Jerusalem surrounded by armies, then recognize that her desolation is at hand. 21 “Then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains, and let those who are in the midst of the city depart, and let not those who are in the country enter the city; 22 because these are days of vengeance, in order that all things which are written may be fulfilled. 23 “Woe to those who are with child and to those who nurse babes in those days; for there will be great distress upon the land, and wrath to this people, 24 and they will fall by the edge of the sword, and will be led captive into all the nations; and Jerusalem will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles until the times of the Gentiles be fulfilled.
Jerusalem’s desolation is yet future, and she “will be trampled under foot by the Gentiles (Gr. ethnos/tribes) until the times of the Gentiles (Gr. ethnos) be fulfilled.”
Jere 4:27 For thus says the Lord, “The whole land shall be a desolation, Yet I will not execute a complete destruction. 28 “For this the earth shall mourn, And the heavens above be dark, Because I have spoken, I have purposed, And I will not change My mind, nor will I turn from it.” 29 At the sound of the horseman and bowman every city flees; They go into the thickets and climb among the rocks; Every city is forsaken, And no man dwells in them. 30 And you, O desolate one, what will you do? Although you dress in scarlet, Although you decorate [yourself with] ornaments of gold, Although you enlarge your eyes with paint, In vain you make yourself beautiful; [Your] lovers despise you; They seek your life. 31 For I heard a cry as of a woman in labor, The anguish as of one giving birth to her first child, The cry of the daughter of Zion gasping for breath, Stretching out her hands, [saying,] “Ah, woe is me, for I faint before murderers.”
Reve 16:19 And the great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath… 17:4 And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality… 16 And the ten horns which you saw, and the beast, these will hate the harlot and will make her desolate and naked, and will eat her flesh and will burn her up with fire.
Jer 1:14 Then the Lord said to me, “Out of the north the evil will break forth on all the inhabitants of the land. 15 “For, behold, I am calling all the families of the kingdoms of the north ,” declares the Lord; “and they will come, and they will set each one his throne at the entrance of the gates of Jerusalem, and against all its walls round about, and against all the cities of Judah… 7:34 “Then I will make to cease from the cities of Judah and from the streets of Jerusalem the voice of joy and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom and the voice of the bride; for the land will become a ruin… 26:2 …’Stand in the court of the Lord’s house, and speak to all the cities of Judah, who have come to worship [in] the Lord’s house… 9 …’This house will be like Shiloh , and this city will be desolate, without inhabitant’
Jer 50:1 The word which the Lord spoke concerning Babylon, the land of the Chaldeans, through Jeremiah the prophet…3 “For a nation has come up against her out of the north; it will make her land an object of horror, and there will be no inhabitant in it.
Isai 51:17 Rouse yourself! Rouse yourself! Arise, O Jerusalem, You who have drunk from the Lord’s hand the cup of His anger; The chalice of reeling you have drained to the dregs.
Reve 16:19 And the great city was split into three parts, and the cities of the nations fell. And Babylon the great was remembered before God, to give her the cup of the wine of His fierce wrath.
One angel with a bowl said, “Come, I will show you the judgment of the great HARLOT…” (Rev 17:1-19:4.) Immediately after that (Rev 19:5…) the BRIDE is ready! Then in Rev. 21:9…, another angel who had a bowl says “Come, I will show you the BRIDE, the wife of the Lamb…”
Isaiah 1:1 The vision of Isaiah the son of Amoz, which he saw concerning Judah and Jerusalem… 21. How the faithful city has become a harlot, she that was full of justice! Righteousness lodged in her, but now murderers. Ezekiel 16:2 “Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations…”
Jeremiah 2:2 “Go and proclaim in the hearing of Jerusalem, Thus says the LORD, I remember the devotion of your youth, your love as a bride, how you followed me in the wilderness, in a land not sown… 20. “For long ago you broke your yoke and burst your bonds; and you said, ‘I will not serve.’ Yea, upon every high hill and under every green tree you bowed down as a harlot. (see Jer.3.)
Revelation 21:9…”Come, I will show you the Bride, the wife of the Lamb.” 10 And in the Spirit he carried me away to a great, high mountain, and showed me the holy city Jerusalem…
Jerusalem the harlot Isa 1:21 זנה zânâh, Zayin-Nun-Heh, (Gk porneuo)
Will we allow weapons to be formed against us, will we allow our thoughts to be scattered and ploughed to the ground? What kind of harvest will can we possible produce if we focus on a walled in and divided mentality?
The Zayin is a limiter, it can stop, cut off (all the characteristics of a a weapon or a heavy farming implement, associated with Cain)
When the Nun is connected to the negativity of the Zayin in this word you see all your breath, productivity and creative force being turned negative, rather than it’s intended quickening (fish).
Add the Heh to this harlot and you’re view and judgment is like a closed door.
We can choose another way!
Jerusalem the bride. Jer 2:2 כּלוּלה kelûlâh Kaf-Lamed-Vav-Lamed-Heh. bridehood – us the many, from the singular כּלּה kallâh.
We can live in the blessings which lead us securely forward under the raised arms into the full revelation that the Son has in these times.
Kaf enshrouds us, it puts us under that covering of His wings, gives us a precise perspective of scripture and the revelation, with the Lamed which acts like a spiritual rudder leading us to the proof of the scepter, it becomes a turning point in our walk, linked with the Vav which we all know connects us but to what? That governing ambassador calling hidden in the scepter opening the doors Heh to all that Yah has for us.
Matthew 23:34 Therefore I send you prophets and wise men and scribes, some of whom you will kill and crucify, and some you will scourge in your synagogues and persecute from town to town, 35 that upon you may come ALL the righteous blood shed on earth…
Just as you and me have to go through a new birth before we can be inhabited by the Master, Jerusalem has to go through the same.
Isai 52:1 Awake, awake, Clothe yourself in your strength, O Zion; Clothe yourself in your beautiful garments, O Jerusalem, the holy city. For the uncircumcised and the unclean Will no more come into you… 7 How lovely on the mountains Are the feet of him who brings good news… 60:3 “And nations will come to your light, And kings to the brightness of your rising… 11 “And your gates will be open continually; They will not be closed day or night, So that [men] may bring to you the wealth of the nations, With their kings led in procession.
Nahu 1:15 Behold, on the mountains the feet of him who brings good news, Who announces peace! Celebrate your feasts, O Judah; Pay your vows. For never again will the wicked one pass through you; He is cut off completely.
Reve 21:2 And I saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, made ready as a bride adorned for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne, saying, “Behold, the tabernacle of God (Rev 13:6) is among men, and He shall dwell among them, and they shall be His people, and God Himself shall be among them… 10 And he carried me away in the Spirit to a great and high mountain, and showed me the holy city, Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God… 24 And the nations shall walk by its light, and the kings of the earth shall bring their glory into it. 25 And in the daytime (for there shall be no night there) its gates shall never be closed; 26 and they shall bring the glory and the honor of the nations into it; 27 and nothing unclean and no one who practices abomination and lying, shall ever come into it, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life.
Jerusalem has to be “born-again”!
9 And those of the peoples and tribes and tongues and nations shall see their dead bodies 6 three and a half days, and shall not allow their dead bodies to be put in graves.10 And they that dwell upon the land shall rejoice over them, and celebrate, and shall send gifts to each other; 8 because these two prophets tormented those that dwelt on the land.
11 And after three and a half days the spirit of life from vuvh entered into them, and they stood upon their feet; and great fear fell upon those who saw them. 12 And they heard a great voice from the heaven saying to them, Come up here. And they ascended up to the heaven in a cloud; and their enemies saw them.
13 And the same hour there was a great earthquake, and the tenth part of the city fell, and in the earthquake seven thousand men were killed: 10 and the remnant became afraid, and gave glory to the Elohim of the heavens. 14 The second woe is past; and see, the third woe comes quickly. 15 And the seventh heavenly angel sounded; and there were great voices in the heavens, saying, The Kingdom of the world have become the kingdoms of our Elohim, and of His Moshiach; and He shall reign forever and ever.
16 And the twenty-four elder, who sat before יהוה on their seats, fell upon their faces, and worshipped יהוה , 17 Saying, We give You thanks, O Master יהוהEl-Shaddai, who was and who is and who is coming; because You have taken Your great power, and have reigned.
18 And the nations were angry, and Your wrath has come and the time of the dead that they should be judged, and that You should give rewards to Your servants the prophets ,and to the Israelite saints, and to them that fear Your Name, small and great; and should destroy them who destroy the land.
19 And the Temple of יהוה was opened in the heavens, and there was seen in His Tabernacle the Ark of the Testimony: and there was lightning and voices and thundering and an earthquake, and great hail.
A renaissance – talk about a past renaissance. Two beasts – what is up is down. Inverted. not Tov and Ra’ah/Good and evil but Tov and בּאוּשׁ bi’ûsh (be-oosh’).
Choose another away; Jerusalem has to be “born-again”! I’m gonna live in the Jerusalem above -the bride hood, not the Jerusalem below – the worrisome state.
