Consider first how time is accelerated here. True to its own law of general relativity, space-time warps around the walled city like a bear hug that squeezes every drop of inertia out of a body. This effect may be tied to the question of home Security. The first time I spoke what little Arabic I know and a guard asked in English Gun? and I shook my head No and every time since I've gone through a metal detector, a checkpoint, been frisked my body-clock is 'red-shifted' just a little more i.e. accelerated towards a light I do not know, have not become.
In the Godfather's concerts, when he danced with his back to the audience, shooting hand signals to those band members who were half-a-second-late, because that's all you needed for the beat to unravel, become a divisible thing, he was defining his own theory of gravitational attraction, as Jerusalem has done for five thousand years, inviting pilgrims and spinning them like a dradle for the pleasure of a dance.
