just a thought:
while reading Depths of Satan/Antipas, you mentioned Jerusalem not being ‘a’ or ‘the’ holy city, yet i believe it is Jerusalem that is mentioned in both Matt 4: 5 and 27: 53 as ‘the holy city.’ surely you must be aware of this (by now).

Dear Janice:
The events written about in Matt. 4:5 and 27:53 took place when two things were present in Jerusalem: [1] The Holy of Holies in the Temple where God appeared, and [2] Jesus Christ, the Son of God Himself. NEITHER of those two are present in Jerusalem today at the time of my writing.
Due to the war going on in Israel and Lebanon, the annual week-long International gathering of gays and homosexuals at Jerusalem had to be cancelled. Pity--such an "holy place" for such an "unholy gathering," don't you think? Just a thought.
God be with you,
Ray
