These pictures illustrate just a fraction of what hands are used for and what hands are capable of. Hands are very important to the sense of touch, which is the first of the senses to develop in a baby and is even operating inside the womb.
Jerusalem, Israel. Jerusalem is the capital city of Israel. Jerusalem is considered a holy city to Jews, Muslims, and Christians alike. The city is important to Christians and Jews because many important biblical events are said to have taken place in Jerusalem (both religions believe the Old Testament).
In verse 9 this glorious city is identified as the Bride, the wife of the Lamb. The glorified church, then, is both a city and a bride. She is âthe city of Godâ in that she represents the sum of perfected individuals. In her love and unity she is the âBride.â The Bride and the city are identical, thus the New Jerusalem is to be the home and residence of the Bride.
