God has had His eye on one extraordinary piece of property for a long time.
• It is the spot that God’s Word tells us in Genesis 14 that the mysterious Biblical character named Melchizedek, who was called the King of Righteousness, lived in this place, then called Salem or “the city of peace.” We know so little about this mysterious figure from the Scriptures (he just may have been the oldest son of Noah named Shem), but we do know that it was on that spot where he lived.
• It is the spot God sent Abraham to when he brought Isaac, his son, to be an offering in Genesis 22.
• It is also the spot where David’s sacrifice stopped the angel of Death (I Chronicles 21) and the purchased ground where Solomon built the Temple. But most of all,
• It is the exact spot where God Himself took human flesh, suffered, bled, died, rose from the dead, and ascended into Heaven.
• It is also the spot where, 50 days later, the Church was born on Pentecost.
• It is finally the spot to which Jesus will return when He comes as Israel’s Messiah to save them, end the Tribulation, and usher in the Millennial Kingdom.
That spot is Jerusalem, specifically the ridge of a mountain called Moriah.
Jerusalem: Center of
Redemptive History
According to the Bible, Jerusalem is the center of redemptive history and where human history will end. All that is attached to just one spot, one city called Jerusalem.
Amazingly, Roman Catholic, Muslim, and Jewish theologians all agree on one thing—Jerusalem marks, in their tradition, the creation of Adam in the Garden of Eden.
Although the Bible does not specify the exact physical spot where God began the universe, they all believe that Jerusalem is the center of God’s start of the Universe, and as His Word does tell us for sure—the end happens here also.
