FACING EAST TO PRAY CONTENT HUB

I have spent many hours on the phone with various individuals who are in Messianic congregations who are being instructed in the ways of Messianic Judaism and the idea that these things are in the Scriptures. We are going to look at what the Scriptures say.
If Jerusalem is north, why would you pray to the east? Or east, if Jerusalem is south. Or if west, why would you pray to the east? That is a good question because no matter what congregation I have been in, it is always facing east, regardless to what direction Jerusalem may be from there.
