And Jerusalem is the center of Israel.
And the Temple Mount is the center of Jerusalem. This is how I feel about it and being Jewish. Can some Christian freepers comment on this? Thanks!
"As the navel is set in the centre of the human body,
so is the land of Israel the navel of the world...
situated in the centre of the world,
and Jerusalem in the centre of the land of Israel,
and the sanctuary in the centre of Jerusalem,
and the holy place in the centre of the sanctuary,
and the ark in the centre of the holy place,
and the foundation stone before the holy place,
because from it the world was founded."
Midrash Tanchuma, Qedoshim.
