Jerusalem
One place across the record
Jerusalem connects Melchizedek’s Salem, Moriah, David’s capital, Solomon’s Temple, the kingdoms, destruction and return, Jesus’ death and resurrection, and the witness of the early church.
Some early connections are established through later Scripture and should not be treated as though every passage uses the name Jerusalem directly.
