God has staked His name on one nation—Israel. No city on planet Earth has the history of God’s city—Jerusalem! For over 4,000 years, Jerusalem has been the city of God. Look with me at this timeline of God’s association with Jerusalem.
Well over 4,000 years ago, Jerusalem was the city of Melchizadek (see Genesis 14) and Abraham’s offering of Isaac; over 3,000 years ago, Jerusalem was the city of David, the city of Solomon, and of God’s personally designed temple. God calls it “My city” (Hosea 5:15).
Two thousand years ago, Jerusalem was the place of Christ’s Crucifixion—now a place sacred to Jews, Christians, and Muslims. In A.D. 70, the temple was destroyed. The first temple (Solomon’s) was destroyed in 586 B.C. The second temple was built by Zerubbubel, and then greatly enlarged and embellished for over 40 years by Herod. In A.D. 685-691, the Dome of the Rock was built over the same area, and in A.D. 1520-156,6, Suleman the Magnificent added the present walls. Today, this city of less than a square mile is the focus of most of the nations of the world for one reason: God has chosen Jerusalem to be the focal point for His plan for the end of the world!
