 Cities were addressed or prophesied to: Jonah 1:2; Nahum 3:1; Micah 6:9;
Revelation 2
and 3.
Cities and nations were judged: Ninevah, Sodom, Gomorrah, Tyre, Sidon, Bethsaida, Capernaum, Jericho, Jerusalem and others. The nation Israel was judged as a whole on many occasions in Scripture, as were other nations.
Cities and nations were forgiven or spared judgment: Nineveh; Sodom could have been, had there been enough righteous people; the nation Israel was forgiven as a whole, as were others.
Cities and nations had divine purposes or callings: Israel, Jerusalem, the seven cities of refuge, and many others.
Cities were spoken of as being kept or preserved by God:
(Psalm 127:1)
Cities have a corporate peace or welfare. (Jer. 29:7)
Cities can have revival: Nineveh, (Jonah 3:5-10)
Cities can miss revival: Jerusalem, (Luke 19:41-44)
