255. [258.] Before the Judgment Jews called two cities Jerusalem, but after the Judgment, by command they changed the name, because after that there came into common speech everywhere reference to the Holy Jerusalem mentioned in the book of Revelation. The Holy Jerusalem symbolizes the New Church, into which no one may enter who does not regard the Messiah as one with Jehovah, thus no one who does not worship the Lord. Jews have been discussed in Arcana Coelestia (The Secrets of Heaven).
