New Covenant Theology

 Clearly, the Harlot is physical Jerusalem. It was destroyed in 70 AD and eventually ploughed under in 135 AD.  _______________ Bible verifications for identifying historical Jerusalem as the great harlot: 2 Samuel 1:24 Daughters of Israel, weep for Saul, who clothed you in SCARLET AND LUXURY, who ADORNED YOUR GARMENTS WITH ORNAMENTS OF GOLD. Revelation 17:3-4 Now the woman was dressed in purple and SCARLET clothing, and DECKED WITH GOLD, PRECIOUS STONES, and pearls. She held in her hand a GOLDEN CUP filled with detestable things and unclean things from her sexual immorality.  Ezekiel 16:1-63 ...“Son of man, make known to Jerusalem her abominations... “Therefore, O PROSTITUTE, hear the word of the LORD: Thus says the Lord GOD, Because your lust was poured out and your nakedness uncovered in your whorings with your lovers... I will gather them against you from every side and will uncover your nakedness to them, that they may see all your nakedness... They shall STRIP YOU OF YOUR CLOTHES

 This is from the internet. It is from a guy named Watkins from Grand Valley State University. I view Universities as being without the Spirit. University scholarship can inform us, but universities exist to make money. This peddling of the gospel is not authorized by God according to Paul. 2 Cor 2:17. However, the scriptures have been pulled together to show the serious frightening place of eternal abode of the unbelievers. Few are saved. Most are lost. This had no copyright.  So I am posting it to assist believers. Is the heat of the physical earth hell? I am not sure. The lake of fire will have to be big enough to contain the souls of maybe 50 billion people, all those who have lived on the earth without being chosen in Christ. But clearly hell is within the earth but may be entirely spiritual. Anyway, Christ descended into hell to preach as Jonah was in the whale. 1 Peter 4:9 and Eph 4:6 both confirm Christ's descent into hell to triumphantly preach the gospel to those who had

 Heb 12:16 See that no one is sexually immoral, or is godless like Esau, who for a single meal sold his inheritance rights as the oldest son. NIV  So we see that Esau was godless after all. This verifies that Paul was talking about predestination to eternal life in Romans chapter 9. He wasn't talking about just the positioning of blessings. He was talking about Jacob being chosen for eternal life and Esau being chosen for eternal damnation. Esau was hated from and for all eternity. This is a sobering reality. Many are called and few are chosen for eternal life.  We have had billions upon billions of human beings born since the beginning in Adam. Yet if a few million are saved that could prove to be a generous number!   I am telling you with Jewish DNA the truth like John the Baptist. Few are saved at this moment in history. The Gentiles have been called for 2000 years with many called. Luke 21:24  Now Jews and those with Jewish DNA are being called. Rom chapter 11. This is within t
