2 For thou
hast made [suwm] of a city [`iyr] an heap [gal]; of a defenced [batsar]
city [qiryah] a ruin [mappalah]: a palace ['armown] of
strangers [zuwr] to be no city [`iyr]; it shall never [`owlam] be
built [banah]. KJV-Interlinear
2 For you have made the city a heap, the fortified city a ruin; the
foreigners’ palace is a city no more; it will never be rebuilt. ESV
The destruction of human tyranny clears the way for the glorification of God and the vindication of truth over the lies and false opinions and corruptions of evil.
A city, is a generic term not referring to any single city but to all cities.
They are the pride of human construction, symbols of human ingenuity and wealth and culture, the palaces of strangers or foreigners, or those set apart from God, and yet their destiny is destruction.
The end result is that they will all be destroyed in a very short time, and then they will never rise again.
What will remain is God and truth and Gods plan, for all who have looked to God, in obedience to His principles and mandates and plan, resulting in the completion of themselves as people, and in the fulfilment of their lives if they pursue Gods plan for themselves, as God has always intended.
To pursue your own agenda, is to pursue a dead end.
To ignore Gods mandates, is to ignore truth and life's opportunities.
To remain neither hot nor cold, but somewhere in the middle, is to be wrapped up in ones own delusion of self-advancement, resulting in neither coming or going anywhere in life.
The one and only way to succeed in life is to end your own direction, and knuckle down to a daily study and be taught and learn and advance as God intends.
