I don't know what you guys think, but mainstream Christianity would probably damn me for this.
Jerusalem is listed as one of the cities built on 7 hills.

7 hills of Jerusalem
- The northern summit (hill) is called Scopus (Hill One)

- The southwest hill itself (Hill Seven)
Jerusalem - killer of saints and holy men
Jesus himself said of Jerusalem…
Thus you witness against yourselves that you are sons of those who murdered the prophets
-Matthew 23:29-31
That upon you may come all the righteous blood shed upon the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel unto the blood of Zacharias son of Barachias, whom ye slew between the temple and the altar.
-Matthew 23:35
"O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you who kill the prophets and stone those sent to you,
-Matthew 23:37
Jerusalem - Adorned in scarlet and gold / Killed by her lovers
And you, O desolate one, what will you do? Although you dress in scarlet, Although you decorate yourself with ornaments of gold, Although you enlarge your eyes with paint, In vain you make yourself beautiful; Your lovers despise you; They seek your life. I hear a cry as of a woman in labor, a groan as of one bearing her first child-the cry of the Daughter of Zion gasping for breath, stretching out her hands and saying, "Alas! I am fainting; my life is given over to murderers."
-Jeremiah 4:30-31
And the woman was clothed in purple and scarlet, and adorned with gold and precious stones and pearls, having in her hand a gold cup full of abominations and of the unclean things of her immorality
– Revelation 17:4
And the ten horns which thou sawest upon the beast, these shall hate the whore, and shall make her desolate and naked, and shall eat her flesh, and burn her with fire.
– Revelation 17:16
Jerusalem as Sodom and Egypt
And their dead bodies shall lie in the street of the great city, which spiritually is called Sodom and Egypt, where also our Lord was crucified.
- Revelation 11:8
And the daughter of Zion is left as a cottage in a vineyard, as a lodge in a garden of cucumbers, as a besieged city. 9 Except the LORD of hosts had left unto us a very small remnant, we should have been as Sodom, and we should have been like unto Gomorrah. 10 Hear the word of the LORD, ye rulers of Sodom; give ear unto the law of our God, ye people of Gomorrah.
- Isaiah 1:8-10
I have seen also in the prophets of Jerusalem an horrible thing: they commit adultery, and walk in lies: they strengthen also the hands of evildoers, that none doth return from his wickedness: they are all of them unto me as Sodom, and the inhabitants thereof as Gomorrah.
- Jeremiah 23:14
I would like to know what your opinion is? If I'm in grave error, please rebuke and correct me.
I believe we should pray for the Jews to open up to Christ and become believers. We have Jewish brothers and sisters in the Lord, so it's sad to hear mainstream evangelists like John Hagee calling it a waste of time.
Calling out the Jewish believers in Christ out of Jerusalem.
And I heard another voice from heaven, saying, Come out of her, my people, that ye be not partakers of her sins, and that ye receive not of her plagues. 5 For her sins have reached unto heaven, and God hath remembered her iniquities.
- Revelation 18:4-5
