The physical compactness of Jerusalem is seen by commentators as a powerful metaphor for the Church. Scholars like Spurgeon and Calvin explain that just as the city's buildings were closely joined, believers should be united in love, doctrine, and purpose. This spiritual unity creates a strong, healthy community, free from the divisions that Satan seeks to exploit.
