Religiously,why is Jerusalem located at the center of the earth?

Answer 1

Jerusalem is not located at the center of the earth. What kind of nonsense is that?
This is the kind of mentality that caused all these troubles in the Middle East!

Answer 2

"Behold, I am going to make Jerusalem a cup that causes reeling to all the peoples around; and when the siege is against Jerusalem, it will also be against Judah. "It will come about in that day that I will make Jerusalem a heavy stone for all the peoples; all who lift it will be severely injured And all the nations of the earth will be gathered against it. Zechariah 12:2-3

On that day I will strike every horse with panic and its rider with madness," declares the LORD. "I will keep a watchful eye over the house of Judah, but I will blind all the horses of the nations. 5 Then the leaders of Judah will say in their hearts, `The people of Jerusalem are strong, because the LORD Almighty is their God.'
Zech 12:4

Answer 3

Because 2006 years back, they didn't know anything beyond Jerusalem - May be Greece from the west, India / China from the west and Egypt to the south.

Remember - the world was Flat those days. Who told that it was round were killed

Answer 4

because from a religious perspective that is where G-d started the creation of the earth and it is where man can reach his highest levels of holiness

Answer 5

I don't know. Maybe this is where man began. Does anyone know? I know God has his hand and eye's upon that land and He has blessed them. Jesus came out of there so it must be a special place. I would love to visit there and walk those streets Jesus walked.

Answer 6

Because they didn't know the earth was round and it was the crossroads of the known world

Answer 7

That area, the "Fertile Crescent"---The Middle East is the birth of civilization. It is where God started with Humankind. It is the "heart" of the world--it is where God will end humankind as well.

Answer 8

Because so many events, significant to Judaism, Christianity, and Islam, took place there. You won't find many references to it in Hinduism, Buddhism, Confucianism, or Shinto.
