A Promised Land

It is interesting to note that just as the Levitical cities were 52 in total (like the weeks of the year, and four to five to each tribe, like the weeks of the month), consisting of 48 cities, in addition to Jerusalem, the capital, and three future cities, so too the United States has historically consisted of 52 entities, 48 states, the capital, and mainly 3 territories – Alaska, Hawai, and Puerto Rico. (Levitical Cities are one of the main topics of Book 2). Below is a map of Biblical Israel (inverted rotated horizontally) and an 1860 map of the United States.
