Shalom,

Here are some Scripture verses that speak of Jerusalem:

Deut 1:6 The Lord our God spake unto us in Horeb, saying, Ye have dwelt long enough in this mount: 7 Turn you, and take your journey, and go to the mount of the Amorites, and unto all the places nigh thereunto, in the plain, in the hills, and in the vale, and in the south, and by the sea side, to the land of the Canaanites, and unto Lebanon, unto the great river, the river Euphrates. 8 Behold, I have set the land before you: go in and possess the land which the Lord sware unto your fathers, Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to give unto them and to their seed after them. KJV

Ps 116:19 In the courts of the Lord's house — in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Praise the Lord! (Hallelujah!) AMP

Ps 122:1 I WAS glad when they said to me, Let us go to the house of the Lord!  [Isa 2:3; Zech 8:21.] 2 Our feet are standing within your gates, O Jerusalem! — 3 Jerusalem, which is built as a city that is compacted together —  4 To which the tribes go up, even the tribes of the Lord, as was decreed and as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the Lord. AMP

Ps 128:5 May the Lord bless you out of Zion [His sanctuary], and may you see the prosperity of Jerusalem all the days of your life;6 Yes, may you see your children's children. Peace be upon Israel! AMP

Ps 147:2 The Lord is building up Jerusalem; He is gathering together the exiles of Israel. AMP

Ps 147:12 Praise the Lord, O Jerusalem! Praise your God, O Zion! 13 For He has strengthened and made hard the bars of your gates, and He has blessed your children within you. AMP


With all of the controversy going on about who will and who will not recognize the city of Jerusalem as the capital of the nation of Israel, I thought you may want to see what the One, True God has to say about it! Don't be found in disagreement with HIM! Jerusalem is the eternal capital of Israel! NO other nation has the right to a say in the matter! AMEN! Here is a picture of the city:
