Historically, Jerusalem has faced numerous sieges and periods of desolation, such as the Babylonian exile. The prophecy suggests a reversal of these past devastations. Theologically, it points to a time of restoration and peace, aligning with other prophetic visions of a renewed Jerusalem (<a href="/isaiah/65-18.htm">Isaiah 65:18-19</a>).<p><b>and never again will there be an utter destruction</b><br>This assurance contrasts with the many times Jerusalem has been destroyed or threatened, such as by the Babylonians in 586 BC and the Romans in AD 70. The phrase implies a divine protection over the city, resonating with prophecies of eternal peace and security found in <a href="/isaiah/2-4.htm">Isaiah 2:4</a> and <a href="/micah/4-3.htm">Micah 4:3-4</a>. It suggests a future fulfillment where God's covenant promises are fully realized.<p><b>So Jerusalem will dwell securely</b><br>The security of Jerusalem is a recurring theme in biblical prophecy, often associated with the Messianic age. This security is not merely physical but also spiritual, indicating a time when God's presence will be fully manifest among His people. It echoes the promises of safety and divine protection found in Psalms 125:1-2 and <a href="/zechariah/2-5.htm">Zechariah 2:5</a>, where God Himself is described as a wall of fire around Jerusalem.<div class="vheading2">Persons / Places / Events</div>1. <b><a href="/topical/j/jerusalem.htm">Jerusalem</a></b><br>The central city in biblical prophecy, representing God's chosen place for His people.
