Excerpt
“Angels oversee other places on Earth, but God oversees Jerusalem.”
These words were spoken by a rabbi named Yisrael Ariel at a conference in Jerusalem I attended in 2008.
To some degree, I believe the Bible agrees with him. There is no city on Earth God talks about in the way He talks about Jerusalem. Scripture shows that God’s eyes have been fixed on this piece of real estate throughout human history—and even before that! So many of the Bible’s landmark events, in both Old Testament and New, took place on this sacred soil. It has a rich and inspiring history unlike any other.
However, overlaid on top of its stirring past, Jerusalem has been the stage for terrible tragedy. Salem means “peace.” Jerusalem means “city of peace.” Yet Jerusalem has known almost no peace! Its past and present are deeply stained with bloodshed and desolation. No city on Earth has suffered more. And God has watched that, too.
Yet, oh how God loves Jerusalem! Mainly He loves the Jerusalem that is to come. Over the centuries, through His prophets and apostles, God has inspired a multitude of prophecies about this extraordinary city, many of which reveal His glorious, imagination-stretching plans for it.
