PLACES IN ACTS: JERUSALEM
(Message by Tanny Keng)
1. Places In Acts
a) We look at the places mentioned in Acts. Each place is located on a map and then we note the people and events associated with that place. Each place contains some information mentioned in the book of Acts.
2. Jerusalem
i) A city of many names, including Salem, Jebus, the City of David, and the Holy City.
ii) Jerusalem had a long and exciting history. Among other things it was ruled by David and Solomon... attacked by the Egyptians, Syrians, Assyrians, and others... destroyed by Nebudchadnezzar... restored... spared by Alexander the Great... harassed by the Seleucids... captured by the Romans... rebuilt by Herod... stained by riots and rebellions... destroyed by Titus.
iii) Jerusalem, with its pools and palaces, temple and towers, is the most mentioned city in the book of Acts.
iv) People from far and wide came there to worship (Acts 2:5, Acts 8:27).
v) The disciples waited there for the promised power (Acts 1:5-8).
vi) The first church of Christ was established there (Acts 2:41-47).
vii) A man lame from birth was healed there by Peter and John (Acts 3 and 4).
viii) Other miracles were wrought there (Acts 2:5-6,43, Acts 5:12-16).
ix) In Jerusalem the first arrests, imprisonments, and trials of Christians took place (Acts 4:3-6, Acts 5:25-28).
x) The church in Jerusalem quickly grew to 5000 members, but persecution scattered it (Acts 4:4, Acts 6:7, Acts 8:1).
xi) The apostles were based in Jerusalem (Acts 8:1,14).
xii) Paul preached there after his conversion (Acts 9:28).
xiii) The apostles met in Jerusalem to discuss the current issues (Acts 15:4-6).
xiv) Chains and troubles awaited Paul in Jerusalem (Acts 20:22, Acts 21:13,30-33).
