Luke 21:24
Zechariah 12:2-4, 9

4 Reasons Jerusalem affects the world:

1) Jerusalem reminds people of the G-d of the Bible, and the kingdoms of this world are in conflict with G-d:
Psalm 48:3
Psalm 132:13,14
Psalm 99:5
Jeremiah 3:17
Daniel 2:31-35; 44,45
Head of Gold - Babylon - religion without G-d
Arms of Silver - Medeo-Persian Empire - government without G-d
Belly of Bronze - Greece - knowledge without G-d
Legs of Iron - Rome - power without G-d
Psalm 2

2) Jerusalem reminds people of G-d's Law:
II Thessalonians 2:3
I Thessalonians 5:3
Ezekiel 13
Zephaniah 3:1-12
Psalm 83:4-6
Isaiah 2:3

3) Jerusalem is G-d's base of operations:
Zechariah 8:3
Psalm 102:21,22
Zechariah 14:16

4) Jerusalem is a reminder of G-d's coming judgment:
Isaiah 34
Joel 3:2,3
Zechariah 2:8
Matthew 25:31-33
Genesis 12:3

What does this mean to us?
Joshua 24:14,15
