Golden Jerusalem, golden in the sunset, oh, golden Jerusalem. Why are the bustling people walking in a hurry in this city? I feel like an outsider, and everything is so familiar and strange. I am willing to sit under the high wall and think repeatedly. I am willing to rediscover the distant time step by step. How heavy the footsteps of pilgrims on the bitter road are, and how shocked and admired the predecessors of the empty grave are.
In the dark, the holy city on the mountain is like a crown, and the lights are inlaid on it like gems. Wailing wall's tears are still wet. There are faces of families in distress under the flickering candlelight, stones silently pour out the vicissitudes of the Millennium, witness yesterday's war, today's turmoil and tomorrow's glory, and the thick history in the air echoes. Oh Jerusalem, peace be with you, and prosperity be with those who love you. You will always turn back when you leave. When Jerusalem returns to you, as the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people.
May the Lord bless you from Zion, may you see the benefits of the holy city all your life, and may there be many people in your heart day and night. Oh Jerusalem, I shed tears for you. I, singing for you, seem to see the new Jerusalem falling from the sky. I saw my new name written on it. Peace is no longer just a luxury. Don't be sad. The Lord will teach all the people his way. I seem to see many nationalities walking together, and the voice of praising the Lord resounds everywhere. All the doors are open to welcome your king.
Jerusalem, my heart loves and my heart longs, Jerusalem, hold your head up and sing. Hosan, the lambs, and Hosan, the victorious king, Jerusalem, raised their heads and sang. Hosanna to the lamb and Hosanna to the victorious king.
The terrain of Jerusalem:
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds his people. Topography of Jerusalem: Jerusalem is located on the platform of the highest point in the central mountains of Israel, with an altitude of about 750 meters. There are Jilun Creek in the east and Xinneng Creek in the west and south. The height difference between the bottom of the three streams and the city is between 40 and 80 meters. The city consists of five hills, with Mount filia in the southeast, Mount Moria in the east, Mount Beixi in the northeast, Mount Jacques in the northwest and Mount Zion in the southwest.
There is Mount Olive in the east of the city, surrounded by mountains, which makes it difficult for foreign enemies to get close, but the traffic is very convenient and it is a natural ruling center. The poet used the mountains around Jerusalem to describe God's love for us, and also pointed out that if we are willing to rely on God, we can be kept. On the other hand, if we don't rely on God, but rely on our own flesh and blood to resist, then we will certainly fail. Jerusalem, not surrounded by mountains, is as easy to capture as other flat towns.
