“The City That Was Abundant With People”

TOKYO, São Paulo, Lagos, Mexico City, and Seoul fit the description, though it was not of them that the Bible prophet Jeremiah spoke.

Some megacities became such as “teenagers.” Tenochtitlán​—today we call it Mexico City—​was founded about 1325. By 1519, when the Spaniards arrived, this capital of the Aztec Empire already had a population possibly approaching 300,000.
