Jerusalem

Meaning

Jerusalem closes the main treatise's catalogue of events associated with forty. Part IV: the spiritual comparison · unit 27 says that the Romans destroyed the city in the fortieth year after Christ's ascension. Its immediate function is numerical correspondence: historical and scriptural examples make the material work's reported period participate in a wider pattern. The English preserves the author's reckoning rather than silently replacing it with an independently reconstructed chronology. This entry reports the text's claim and its rhetorical role, not a verified calculation of the city's destruction date or a warrant to time material work from that event.
