23 - REBUILDING AN APOSTATE CITY
Deuteronomy 13:16 -- “And you shall gather all its plunder into the middle of the street, and completely burn with fire the city and all its plunder, for the LORD your God; and it shall be a heap forever. It shall not be built again.”
Though the city may never be rebuilt, yet its site may be converted into gardens and parks.*
