Jerusalem – Center of God’s World
Jerusalem is very much in the news and always has been. It is the most important city on earth. God has said of Jerusalem that He has set it in the midst of the nations (Ez. 5:5). Draw a circle on a map with Jerusalem as its center and with a radius of about 900 miles and it will include almost the entire Middle East. Within that circle will lie Athens, Istanbul, Antioch Beirut, Damascus, Baghdad, Alexandria, Cairo, Mecca and a host of other important cities. No city on earth has suffered more attacks, sacks, and sieges, more devastations and revivals than Jerusalem. The city of Jerusalem is mentioned by name more than 800 times in the Bible.
