Usage: This proper noun refers to the city of Jerusalem, a central and significant location in biblical history, theology, and prophecy. It is the capital city of ancient Israel and Judah and holds a prominent place in Jewish, Christian, and Islamic traditions. Context: Jerusalem, known as יְרוּשָׁלַם (Jerushalaim) in Hebrew, is one of the most significant cities in the Bible. It is first mentioned in the context of Melchizedek, king of Salem, in Genesis 14:18. Jerusalem became the political and spiritual center of Israel when King David captured it from the Jebusites and established it as the capital of his kingdom (2 Samuel 5:6-7). It is the site of Solomon's Temple, the central place of worship for the Israelites, and the location where many pivotal events in biblical history occurred, including the crucifixion and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Throughout the Old Testament, Jerusalem is depicted as the chosen city of God, where His presence dwells in the Temple. It is often referred to as Zion, a term that emphasizes its spiritual significance. The city is also a symbol of God's covenant with His people and His promise of peace and restoration. In the New Testament, Jerusalem continues to hold a central role. It is the setting for many of Jesus' teachings and miracles, and it is where the early church was established following the events of Pentecost (Acts 2). The city is also significant in eschatological prophecies, symbolizing the ultimate fulfillment of God's kingdom and the new Jerusalem described in Revelation 21.
