There are two Jerusalems in scripture. There is earthly
Jerusalem and there is heavenly
Jerusalem. A believer must discern between the two in reading
the prophets.
Failure to do so will result in applying prophecies that are
fulfilled in heavenly Jerusalem to
earthly Jerusalem. Sometimes it is difficult to determine the
difference between the earthly and
the heavenly within a prophecy.
The way to determine what prophecies are fulfilled in the
heavenly Jerusalem is to see the
apostolic interpretation. For example John sees Jerusalem
descending from God out ofheaven.
Revelation 21
1.And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven
and the first earth were passed
away; and there was no more sea.
2.And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from
God out of heaven, prepared
as a bride adorned for her husband.
Isa.65:17, For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth:
and the former shall not be
remembered, nor come into mind.
18.But be ye glad and rejoice for ever in that which I create:
for, behold, I create Jerusalem a
rejoicing, and her people a joy.
19.And I will rejoice in Jerusalem, and joy in my people: and
the voice of weeping shall be no
more heard in her, nor the voice of crying.

The letter to the Hebrews contrasts these two Jerusalems.
Hebrews 13:14
For here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to
come.
The Hebrew believers were seeking a city that was coming. They
had come to the city, the
heavenly Jerusalem, but it had not arrived completely. They had
no continuing, earthly city.
The earthly Jerusalem would no continue as the covenant city
.
Hebrews 12:22
But ye are come unto mount Sion, and unto the city of the living
God, the heavenly Jerusalem,
and to an innumerable company of angels.
John sees the arrival of the heavenly Jerusalem after the
destruction of the earthly Jerusalem
(Babylon).
Revelation 21
1. And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven
and the first earth were passed
away; and there was no more sea.
2. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from
God out of heaven, prepared
as a bride adorned for her husband.
The arrival of the heavenly Jerusalem meant the kingdom had
arrived, and the new covenant
had been fully established. We are now connected to the heavenly
city.
The living water flows from the heavenly city and brings healing
to the nations.
This was also the city that the prophets spoke of when speaking
of the kingdom.
