CAN JERUSALEM BE SODOM?
Rev.11:8 talks about dishonorable treatment of the bodies of the two witnesses in the Great City where the Lord of the witnesses was crucified. The witnesses’ bodies remained on the streets of “…of the great city which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also their Lord was crucified”.
First, the great city may be referring to Jerusalem (though this happened outside of Jerusalem). Second, that it may be referring to Rome (since Jesus' death sentense was passed and carried out under Roman authority). Third option, that is also viable, is that this image combines both Jerusalem and Rome into one architype of a great city that symbolizes opposition against the Lord.
