| 1 | Strong's Number: g4172 | Greek: polis |
City:
primarily "a town enclosed with a wall" (perhaps from a root ple--, signifying "fullness," whence also the Latin pleo, "to fill," Eng., "polite, polish, politic, etc."), is used also of the heavenly Jerusalem, the abode and community of the redeemed, Hbr 11:10, 16; 12:22; 13:14. In the Apocalypse it signifies the visible capital of the Heavenly Kingdom, as destined to descend to earth in a coming age, e.g., Rev 3:12; 21:2, 14, 19. By metonymy the word stands for the inhabitants, as in the English use, e.g., Mat 8:34; 12:25; 21:10; Mar 1:33; Act 13:44.
Note: In Act 16:13, the most authentic mss. have pule, "gate," RV, "without the gate."
