[b]In Revelation, God calls Jerusalem, Sodom and Egypt because it is so spiritually corrupted. The question is, will Jesus, who is in His glorified body, enter what is known as Jerusalem presently, which is considered unclean, when He returns?

It's just my opinion....... However we read in the NT that he already entered Jerusalem in his glorified body.

Luke 24:15-51
John 20:17-31
John 21:1-25

Just wondering why Jerusalem presently would be considered unclean/more unclean than it was at the time of his life there?

[color=#006400][b]I was referring to His Second Coming. Jerusalem as the "Holy City" is no more. The New Jerusalem will replace it. Today's Jerusalem is corrupted so it is not where Jesus would enter when He returns for good.

I understand your reference to the second coming. When he returns to rule and reign it will be in the New Jerusalem. However, upon his resurrection after his ascenscion to his father (John 20:17 Jesus saith unto her, Touch me not; for I am not yet ascended to my Father: but go to my brethren, and say unto them, I ascend unto my Father, and your Father; and [to] my God, and your God.) and his subsequent return and appearing to the disciples, he had already acquired his glorified body. He remained and appeared unto many, until we read in Acts of his return to the father. Therefore, he in his glorified body was in Jerusalem. So understanding that, there really is no reason as to why he wouldn't/couldn't enter Jerusalem on his return. He is just going to rule and reign in the New Jerusalem. I have not read anything to the contrary to that. I may have missed the scripture and verse that specifically states that he cannot enter Jerusalem as it is today in deference to how it was back then.
