Interesting fact:
Constantinople is also known as Istanbul

Istanbul is a name developed from etymological roots roughly meaning "The City"

Istanbul's Western Hemisphere counterpart, on the other side of the "veil" that was torn in two upon the death of Christ is "San Francisco" which is also nicknamed "The City".

San Francisco is named after Saint Francis.

Saint Francis started the organization of friars but more notably was known for expandng the concept of the divine nature, or sacred nature, of man, to include all animal life on Earth.

God's first commandment which, like all other commandments, echoes both forwards and backwards through time for eternity, without revision or replacement:

Genesis 1:29 And God said, Behold, I have given you every herb bearing seed, which is upon the face of all the earth, and every tree, in the which is the fruit of a tree yielding seed; to you it shall be for meat.

So, indeed, the answer to mankind's dilemna does come out of "the city", but not in the way you think it does.

The Bible allows for Rome and persia. All other governments have no legitimacy. Turkey delenda est, the armeniakon, optimaton, and Thracian themes must be restored in addition to Constantinople. The border marches in Syria and Iraq demarcated once again at nisibus and dara

Hope this helps!
