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,
11 having the glory of God. Her brilliance was like a very costly stone, as a stone of crystal-clear jasper. (NAS)
If you read the rest of the chapter it continually speaks only of this city and people don't come into play until verse 24. However, when the people come into play they are inhabitants of this city.
what say you? |
Do you read Capps?
