Building of Philadelphia
A
question was asked whether there is any special
significance to the name “Philadelphia,”
which will be the city built next after Stelle and the first city founded in
the Nation of God. Richard reminded us that the meaning of the name is “city
of brotherly love.” Its planned site is a mountainous island in the Pacific,
and
the city will eventually
be atop a mesa when the ocean drains away from the rising Lemurian continent.
Philadelphia
will in time be known as an educational city, one of the three types of cities which will be built in the new Nation. Other cities
will be known as industrial or administrative
cities, each with its own particular function. Since extensive sowing of
grass on the risen land will have to be undertaken to sweeten the soil before the new continent can be occupied by settlers,
activity for at least the first century will expand around Philadelphia until the habitable area is
enlarged further from the city. (07-1969)
