The city of Jerusalem holds great significance in biblical history and prophecy, often symbolizing the center of God's presence and covenant with His people. According to Zechariah 12:9, God will ultimately pour out a spirit of grace and supplication on the inhabitants of Jerusalem, leading to a profound turning to Him. The Psalms frequently express a deep affection for Jerusalem, with Psalms 122:3-5 and 122:6 highlighting its role as a unified hub of worship and Psalms 125:2 emphasizing God's protective presence around the city. Jeremiah 3:17 looks forward to a future time when Jerusalem will be the throne of the Lord, from which He will reign over all nations.

So on that day I will set out to destroy all the nations that come against Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is built up as a city united together, where the tribes go up, the tribes of the LORD, as a testimony for Israel, to give thanks to the name of the LORD. For there the thrones of judgment stand, the thrones of the house of David.
As the mountains surround Jerusalem, so the LORD surrounds His people, both now and forevermore.
At that time Jerusalem will be called The Throne of the LORD, and all the nations will be gathered in Jerusalem to honor the name of the LORD. They will no longer follow the stubbornness of their evil hearts.
For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not keep still, until her righteousness shines like a bright light, her salvation like a blazing torch.
This is what the LORD says: “I will return to Zion and dwell in Jerusalem. Then Jerusalem will be called the City of Truth, and the mountain of the LORD of Hosts will be called the Holy Mountain.”
