1), God Has Put His Name in Jerusalem. Of Jerusalem in particular, the Lord speaks repeatedly of it being the specific place where He has “put His name.” “But you are to seek the place the Lord your God will choose from among all your tribes to put his Name there for His dwelling. To that place you must go” (Deuteronomy 12:5). “…Jerusalem, the city the Lord had chosen out of all the tribes of Israel in which to put his Name….” (1 Kings 14:21). Did you know that God’s name is physically in Jerusalem as well as spiritually and symbolically? Jerusalem sits amid hills and valleys that, when seen from above, resemble the Hebrew letter Shin, which resembles a W. A Shin has long been representative of God because it is part of the Hebrew spelling of one of His names, God Almighty, or in Hebrew, El Shaddai. God has placed a symbol of His name — a Shin — in the very topography of Jerusalem. His name dwells in Jerusalem, just as He said in Scripture.
2). There are many other verses that mention the LORD putting His name in Jerusalem. (The following was taken from the website: www.nuggetnetreview.com/m-gods-name-in-jerusalem.htm)
a). 2 Kings 21:4 And he built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD said, In Jerusalem will I put my name.
b). 2 Kings 21:7 And he set a graven image of the grove that he had made in the house, of which the LORD said to David, and to Solomon his son, In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen out of all tribes of Israel, will I put my name for ever:
c). 2 Chronicles 6:6 But I have chosen Jerusalem, that my name might be there; and have chosen David to be over my people Israel.
d). 2 Chronicles 33:4 Also he built altars in the house of the LORD, whereof the LORD had said, In Jerusalem shall my name be for ever.
e). Deuteronomy 16:2 Thou shalt therefore sacrifice the passover unto the Lord thy God, of the flock and the herd, in the place which the Lord shall choose to place his name there.
f). Deuteronomy 26:2 That thou shalt take of the first of all the fruit of the earth, which thou shalt bring of thy land that the Lord thy God giveth thee, and shalt put it in a basket, and shalt go unto the place which the Lord thy God shall choose to place his name there.
g). Deuteronomy 14:23 And thou shalt eat before the LORD thy God, in the place which he shall choose to place his name there, the tithe of thy corn, of thy wine, and of thine oil, and the firstlings of thy herds and of thy flocks; that thou mayest learn to fear the LORD thy God always.
h. Deuteronomy 12:5 But unto the place which the LORD your God shall choose out of all your tribes to put his name there, even unto his habitation shall ye seek, and thither thou shalt come:
i). Deuteronomy 12:11 Then there shall be a place which the LORD your God shall choose to cause his name to dwell there; thither shall ye bring all that I command you; your burnt offerings, and your sacrifices, your tithes, and the heave offering of your hand, and all your choice vows which ye vow unto the LORD:
j). Deuteronomy 14:24 And if the way be too long for thee, so that thou art not able to carry it; or if the place be too far from thee, which the LORD thy God shall choose to set his name there, when the LORD thy God hath blessed thee:
k). Deuteronomy 16:6 But at the place which the LORD thy God shall choose to place his name in, there thou shalt sacrifice the passover at even, at the going down of the sun, at the season that thou camest forth out of Egypt.
