WHY FACE JERUSALEM WHEN YOU PRAY ?

1 Kings 8:41 Moreover concerning a stranger that is not of your people Israel but comes out of a far country for your name's sake;

1 Kings 8:42 (For they shall hear of your great name and of your strong hand and of thy stretched out arm) when he shall come and pray toward this house;

1 Kings 8:43 Hear thou in heaven your dwelling place, and do according to all that the stranger calls to you for: that all people of the earth may know your name, to fear you, as do your people Israel; and that they may know that this house, which I have builded is called by your name.
