Produktbeschreibung
Excerpt from The Church in the Fort: And Other Sermons The "Millo" here referred to was the fortress on the heights of Jebus. It was wholly impregnable on three sides, and on the fourth easily defensible. In the conquest of Palestine it was only partially reduced: as it is written, The Jebusites, the inhabitants of Jerusalem, could not be driven out (Josh. 15, 63). They were perforce allowed to remain to be a thorn in the side of Israel for four hundred years. At length in the time of David the stronghold was taken by stratagem and completely destroyed. The threshing floor of Araunah, near by, was purchased as a temple site (2 Sam.24, 18-25); and in due time the house arose, "beautiful for situation, the joy of the whole earth." This was the original "Church in the Fort." It was a thousand years afterwards that Jesus, preaching on the shores of Gennesareth, made mention of the "city set on a hill" whose light could not be hid. It may be that he referred to Safed, twelve miles to the north; or to Tabor, on the southwest crowned with its castle: but the probability is that he was thinking of Jerusalem to which the heart of Israel ever turned. It was preeminently a city set on a hill; and its-light was that of-the-mysterious Shekinah, shining to the glory of God.
