I.THE PROPHETIC DESTINY OF JERUSALEM
A. Jesus is zealous for Jerusalem or Zion. Jesus will return to Jerusalem to dwell or live there forever. Zion in the Scripture almost always speaks of the city of Jerusalem. Jerusalem is unique by the fact that Jesus chose to reign there forever and even named it after the New Jerusalem.

2“I am zealous for Zion with great zeal...3 I will return to Zion, and dwell in the midst...”
(Zech. 8:2-3)

B. Jerusalem is central to God’s end-time purposes. Jesus’ throne and worldwide government will be in Jerusalem and the New Jerusalem will descend to the place of the earthly Jerusalem.

17“Jerusalem shall be called The Throne of the LORD, and all the nations shall be gathered to it, to the name of the LORD, to Jerusalem.”
(Jer. 3:17)

C. Why focus on Jerusalem? God calls us to love and focus on Jerusalem because He does. He has unprecedented affection for this city. We easily neglect Jerusalem because we do not see how it affects our ministry, money or relationships. We cultivate love and understanding of it simply because Jesus does and because we know God’s end-time purpose is “Jerusalem centric.” We must be equipped to stand for Jesus and His purpose for Jerusalem and then declare it to others.

D .One way that we walk around Jerusalem is by searching out the glorious things spoken of her. We rejoice with Jerusalem by understanding her destiny and standing with her for its fulfillment. We study Israel’s ancient stones which testify of her prophetic history and encounters with God.

3Glorious things are spoken of you, O city of God!
(Ps. 87:3)

12Walk about Zion, and go all around her. Count her towers; 13 mark well her bulwarks; consider her palaces; that you may tell it to the generation following.
(Ps. 48:12-13)

10Rejoice with Jerusalem, and be glad with her, all you who love her; Rejoice for joy with her, all you who mourn for her;
(Isa. 66:10)

14For Your servants take pleasure in her stones, and show favor to her dust.
(Ps. 102:14)
